  • Hey! Kyle,


    Just have to say I think the Tips of the Week are fantastic...just another reason I'm glad I hooked up with CruiserCustomising.


    I've always been happy with the products I've purchased and hopefully exchange rates will see me purchasing more for my ride very soon .


    Tips of the Week = terrific aftersales service ! Keep it going !!!


    Regards

  • praxis 1970 mentioned emergency triangles.  I think that you will find that a 4" x 6" LED emergency flasher is more affective and takes up less space.  They can be purchased in red or amber, most have a constant light and flash mode, require AA batteries, and have a fold out leg to stand on.  Since they are LED they require very little current extending the life of the batteries.  Also the better units will have a weather proof seal closing the battery compartment.

  • Hmmm, no one seems to have mentioned that all important content, your rain suit.  Additionally, I take a regular old-fashioned CB radio handheld (walkie talkie) with telescoping antenna.  There are often times when there is no cell phone coverage, but a CB can work in most remote places.  The distance isn't far, but since radio signals bounce around the atmosphere you can often contact someone at great distances to have them call your Roadside Assistance carrier ($100 not a bad investment when you're caught out and need help).  Even today, more people use CBs than FRS/GMRS radios.

    All of the advice given here are really great, but I think it is vital whenever you get stranded, especially at night or in bad weather condition, a couple of "Roadside Emergency Triangles" are necessary to warn any incoming traffic so you don't get hit.

Description:

Kyle Bradshaw here to share with you the things I find necessary when hitting the road...

Read the Story: Long Haul Necessities

I believe there are 5 Essentials that every biker should take with them on any ride:

  1. Camera: Documenting and sharing the ride is always great fun! I use a Casio Exlim
  2. Water: Bottled or Hydration Packs are the way to go!
  3. Tire Repair Kit: Progressive Suspension or Slime Tire Repair are two kits I have used which have worked well. 
  4. Tools: Cruz Tools make some great kits. 
  5. Fuel
Essential Clothing
Other miscellanious items I find useful:
  • Sun Screen 
  • Flashlight: I prefer LED over the other options
  • Insect Repellant
  • Tie Downs: I prefer adjustable ROK Straps
  • Spot Finder

Now... What do take with you when you hit the road?

Please comment, write your own story, or record your own video documenting your biker essentials!

Thanks for taking a read of this weeks Cruiser Customizing Tip of the Week.

Take care,

Kyle Bradshaw aka: Manybikes
