There are so many things that are are out of our control, but still, there are many things that we can control. We will explore some of those here!

    I guess UA-cam pays more than I thought. In 40 years of riding never brought or needed so much. Maintain your bike after every ride, bring a few air filters, some basic tools, throw it in the truck and go.

    This is a little extreme. I've done two 4 week trips east coast to Colorado in compact pickup single cab 6 ft bed... No way I could bring all this. Bring an extra pipe, filters, full toolbox, extra Jersey, pants, goggles...call it good. If you need something stop at the local auto parts store or moto shop.

    Definitely nothing wrong with the way you set up for these multi day rides. I'm sure everyone would love to be able to have all the spares and the means to get bikes prepped to that point.
    When I go away riding for a few days though, usually just ensure my bike maintenance is up to date, spare tube(s), an air filter, some tools, fuel/oil, food/drink and my ute/trailer is always maintained anyway so I know they'll always get me there

  • @paulsavois7155

    i dont understand why you are getting all those comments about being overprepared, to me this all makes sense. it just shows that you’ve probably had a few rides ruined or at least altered by riding partners who just werent well prepared, or maybe even yourself. i get it man, i’ve had to work on other guys bikes so many time during rides , its not even funny. keep doing things your own way, it obviously served you well so far. cheers man.

For some reason trips went better and had more fun back then. The pre and post of trips kind of ruin it for me now.

    I subscribed a long time ago, but this video just came up? This video hit me pretty good. As a dad of two other riders, I prepare just like you do in this video. But, when I was young, I did a pre-ride check. And by pre-ride check; I mean gas, oil, socks, and underwear for a three day ride and that was it. Luck would have it, I never broke down on those long rides. Probably ignorant kid luck, lol. The amazing thing was, I was always the prepared one! I just thought it was funny because of how prepared you are in this video and how prepared I am now with my kids riding.

    I use fork blocks to allow me to cinch down my straps for long trips and not blow my seals. Most of the time they are just sawed off pieces of 4x4 post, but I do have a plastic one somewhere. This is especially needful when loading a bike on a hitch rack.

    • @forresttaylor6849
      @forresttaylor6849 3 роки тому

      Finally. It’s so aggravating getting a ticket for lights. I’m always like they were working when I left. I’ve even fixed a light while pulled over and still got a ticket like how is that my fault. It’s mechanical failure not operator. But this helps to check every morning or once a week to help your case of being safe and legal. As a mechanic, driver, operator I’m glad to hear someone has addressed this. 👍

    This video scored in the first 10 seconds. We have a zillion city noobs riding our mountain trails and none of them ever has a saw. They expect that the trails will be perfectly prepared for them. They will spend 40 minutes ripping and tearing the ground all around a downed tree when they could spend 5 minutes with a saw to clear the trail. Folks, they are closing down more miles of trails every year and ripping up the area trying to ride around does NOT help. Don't be a city noob. Pack a saw
