Never leave your broken down trailer unattended near
the side of the road. You just might return to find the axel
stolen!
Jumper Cables - One attendee at a clinic
suggested carrying jumper cables. If I'm traveling alone that
would be unlikely, but when traveling with a group it is advisable that
at least one member have a set along. In fact, items like jumper
cables, air pumps and first aid kits only need to be carried by one or
two members of a group leaving room in others luggage for other items.
Winter Storage - There's a lot of gear you won't
use during the winter. Particularly gear you'd use only on an
overnight trip. Stash all that in a duffle bag and store it for
winter. Be sure if you have a down or primaloft bag you get it out
of it's tight bag and store it in a loose so it's not compressed.
Clean up what you need to now, but be sure to clean plates, bottles and
utensils just prior to your next ride. TK/Dec06
Tidy up before you shoot - On a recent road trip
I was photographing my bike in front of some nice mountains and other
scenic views. When I got home to look at the photographs I noticed
the clutter from my tank bag and luggage scattered throughout the
photos. Next time I go for a ride and take pictures I'll be sure
to tidy up before I shoot photographs. PD/Nov 06
