How to prepare for your adventure:
Make sure you have a motorcycle that is in good working condition.
Make sure you are confident in riding your motorcycle.
Bring whatever tools you may need but be as prepared as possible. Don’t feel like you need to bring a whole garage of tools though. Just the basics.
Make sure your motorcycle is street legal.
Make sure you are physically able of riding 150 miles per day through some rough terrain.
Bring a good rain suit.
You must have proper riding gear. We recommend always riding with a helmet, eye protection, knee pads, gloves, jersey, riding pants and a top shell that protects you from abrasion. Be smart. Stupid hurts.
