I wonder what you guys do to the bike before you leave.....short trips
The bike needs looking at to ensure it will make the Journey without you having to find a shop for break pads or a service lets say...unless you going a really long way...
All periodic maintenance should be up to date and the bike in good working order, that's everything..
Mechanical parts can fail slowly or in the blink of an eye, if you see something that's looking a bit tired, replace it before you leave.
Check all major fasteners for tightness..
Check you oil and water daily
That's about all I do
Am I missing stuff???
