Road Trip
Taking the 250 on a (about) 3 hr trip this weekend. Any advice or things I should know/do before taking off besides the basic stuff (oil check, tires, etc.)?
Many thanks in advance. |

Do you have a way to repair a flat tire and inflate it in the middle of nowhere?
Spare fuses and light bulbs (head and brake)? Basic toolkit? Duct tape, plastic ties, bandages, sunscreen? Excessive perhaps, but not when you need any of those.

Extra cell phone battery is a must if you listen to music off your phone like I do.. I didn't stop for water or food at all since its only 4 hours during my trip. Only filled up gas. Have fun man. |

Just got back from a 6 hour trip to NC. It rained/stormed on me the whole way there & back...so if bad weather is predicted, make sure you're prepared. Wish I had rain gear
