If you have thought about traveling long distances on your motorcycle, you might be overwhelmed at the idea of planning a road trip on your bike. However, there are a few things you can do to help ensure an easy trip on some of the best motorcycle roads around. One of the first things that you will need to decide is how long of a trip you want to take. If this is one of your first major biking trips, you might want to keep it small; however, if you have already done a couple of smaller trips then you might be looking to spread your wings.
Second, if you have a touring motorcycle, then you probably have built in storage on your bike, but if you don't, you will want to make sure that you invest in some kind of bags. You can use saddlebags, tank bags, hard bags, or tail bags. Your choice of luggage will depend on your needs and the setup of your motorcycle, so remember to choose wisely.
Make sure when you head out that you have a basic plan but are also to taking a few side trips here and there. When you look at a map look for smaller roads that might take you down an interesting and winding route where you can better see and experience everything around you. Keeping this in mind, though, remember to keep your adventure timed in a realistic manner. You don't want to try to cram in so many hours on your motorcycle that you are get exhausted during your trip. Make sure to plan plenty of stops and extra time in case you find one of those spectacular winding routes.
