Exactly, test the hours you are planing to ride. Plan on riding longer than expected. Sometimes you just want to take a day off. Things get tough after 4 hours in the saddle. Plan on riding at night once you get down south. Have tire repair kit with CO2 pump. Change oil, lube chain and check tension. Check break pads and tires. Have both keys, one hidden. RainX your faceshield. Sun protection. Might want to pick up one of those handlebar clips so that you can use the throttle without gripping the grips.
