1. Basic kits: There will be a tool kit and a first aid kit in the small area allotted for tool boxes in your bike. All bikes will come up with these two basic kits. Make sure that both of these are in place. The tool kit will contain the essential tools which you will require at times of breakdown or a puncture. Similar is the case with the First aid kit. Though, very basic stuff only are available in it, it will come in handy at the time of a mishap on a highway.
You can also keep extra stuff – tools and medical kit with you if you are not satisfied with what is provided.
2. Frequent Halts: It is advisable to halt every now and then all along the journey. Stop for tea breaks which would enable you to stretch yourself. This is important as this would offer you a sense of relaxation, thereby offering you a better riding experience. You can make your own stop points at regular intervals. Try to stop for at least 10-15 minutes in every two hours at least! Remember this will also help your bike. Also remember not to stop at some deserted place. Try and take halts on roads which are occupied.
3. Safety is Prioritized First: The last point is the most important. Remember you are riding for your own pleasure. It is not at all recommended to race along or cruise at very high speeds. This would suck off your energy literally and you will not be in a position to continue your onward journey. Wear your helmet all along. If there is a pillion rider, it is mandatory that he/she wears it as well. Make it a point to wear approved and good quality safety gear like riding jacket, boots and gloves.
Apart from this try to chose a faired bike when you are travelling on long open highways. Not that this is mandatory but it does prevent direct wind slashes hitting you directly and you become less tired!
