During the journey
The hours of maximum heat are not good to go on a bike, if you travel in warm climates. Try to be early bird and take the first hours of the morning, when the light is beautiful (for photos), the atmosphere is cooler and more pleasant driving for you and your bike.

Avoid the middle of the day, use them to lunch or to schedule a stop in some place of interest.

Expected to have to leave the bike provided a safe place because you will not remove all baggage. The garage can be rented by the hour is a good resource, talk to the guard to throw you some miradilla your bike, a tip is a good card.

A hotel is the best choice of accommodation, also roadside motels. I am among those who travel from camping in camping, with a small igloo tent … Well I and a lot of bikers. You all servcios, sleep next to your bike and make good social gathering place for travelers on a bike if you find them. He is one of the cheapest options.

Look before you leave a good camping guide to set the stops on the trip. And a good mobile Internet access to the network can give you more information. There are plenty of websites with listings of campgrounds, you’re very proactive make reservation … If you do not venture out, the many simpre is room for a motorcycle and small tent.

It depends on the days that you think make your trip, but a good approach to take and how much luggage you take will save many problems. If you are traveling as a couple will have to provide two things, you have less space on the bike and the number of objects multiplied, though not necessarily both.

The best way is to equip your bike with a luggage set, all will be well anchored, you will not get wet and leave room for you or for driver and passenger … Luggage sets are virtually all types of motorcycles. Scooter If you travel you will have struggled with the opening of the case and a Topcase or trunk. If you travel by bike is the most complete kit trunk, panniers and tank bag. I have traveled on a motorcycle with tank bag and backpack with octopuses tied to the back, but I assure you that the time invested every day in fifth and put the octopus, it would have been better to invest in a good set of luggage.

As a recommendation, puts everything staple in the tank bag. Wallet, camera, maps … For two reasons, first because if you lose one you can easily remove it and prevent you remove what is necessary … Do this even if you get off the bike to pay for refueling, traveling alone there are a few friends gossiping on the lookout for motorists.

The hand camera, used for throwing a snapshot without having to get off the bike.

Now he has set to carry a video camera “onboard” on the bike, you have some HD at a great price and can be placed in the helmet or handlebars of the bike. Final assembly with music or comments can be spectacular.

Be careful with credit cards and magnets of the tank bag is not found but I have the intuition that might affect its magnetic strip.

Most insurance companies arrange their contracts on schedule. Little do they care if the contract began this month or early 29. They will charge you even start the whole month on the last day of the month.

For example, if the contract begins on January 30 they are not going to get paid 11 months and one day, but full 10 months. So you have to do is to start the contract the first days of months, so you do not charge more.

Insurance pay annually, not monthly
Tips insurance companies allow us to pay their monthly installments, instead of paying once a year. You may think that this monthly format is better, because it fits more to your portfolio when small amounts. But do not trust.

Other argument “of weight” for a motorcycle of trial, the Ossa 280 TR displays only 64,5 kg (unladen) on the balance, which in fact the moto the lighter of the market. Finally, side rate, it remains in the “reasonable”, since 6 640 €€, the 280 TR aligns itself with the competition “racing”.

Of course, the VFR 1200 F is directed to a “caste” easy, in full swing in the country “emerging”: it must be said that 1 750 000 rupees (28 920 €) in a country where the average salary revolves around 38 084 rupees (568 €) per year, it makes when even a sum…

We know: Jean-Luc March we said recently that he lacked the GT in the range motor Triumph. Since then, we have learned, reliable source that the mark English will unveil in March or April next its first offensive on this front of reconquest.

In 2010, Triumph is reneging on the segment of touring. First brick of this offensive, the Sprint ST will give up his in the spring a motorcycle versatile, that we call for the moment Sprint Trophy on our first photomontage unveiled here, fault info more accurate on this subject. To the menu this therefore public road, the more comfort for the crew, a capacity of increased load and of active safety a braking, ABS in series.
To do this, Triumph chooses in a first time a simple solution, which allows in the same time not too dirty addition. Thus, this new GT “light” resumed the basis of the Sprint ST 1050 current, which will kindly leave the catalog. Among the changes the most important, the shroud changing in his drawing and its form, more generous and receives a bubble more wrap.

Every day, you are talking about your motorbikes on the Maxitest Moto-Station. We have just validated the opinion of the one of you on its BMW K 1300 GT:

“It must be recognized, the judgment, the first impression is that it is a motorcycle which requires a heavy concentration for the great maneuver and parking. In addition, the side stand is very short and when puts it, we must be very attention to devers, always with that impression that the motorbike will fall and there, he really must be retained. However, as soon the boot, whatever the speed, barely foot noted, the weight completely forget and we have a motorbike very balanced and handy (even to two with all the baggage).

We are doing a lot of tourism solely on small departmental not necessarily well paved and speeds more than supported, and there, what foot! It joined hampers fort on the angle, holds the trajectory without forcing on handlebars and accelerate the exit while keeping the cape. The chassis is perfect, and even allows some mistakes in the webs when it takes rapid catch the handful of emergency brake in some that close turns. We have done all Pyrénnées, the Massif Central and last week, the Corsica: 3 500 km in 1 week which 1 700 km of motorway. Whatever the road, speed, the state of tar, a small finger pressure to settle the suspension, for mounting or down the bubble, it is adapted to all.

And what about the engine, a jewel, a couple enormous which avoid gear changes too frequent and the outflow of turns which leave all the buddies on the spot. Let us not forget my passenger who is to angels and, despite my conduct sporting, does not need to be held, which allows him to take hundreds of pictures of landscape or of the buddies who roll with us on their FJR, RT and GS.”
