First Long Journey
Hi guys,
I've got my first long journey coming up, I'm travelling from Ashford to Leeds on the 2nd December to visit a friend, and I was wondering what precautions you suggested for the journeys. I've bought a strong magnetic tank bag off ebay for £9.49 off eb*y, hopefully it won't come off at high speeds. I also invested in another bottle of Ultraseal in case of tyre poppage. I have a new lid, neck warmer, thermal 'under-gloves' and a set of kevlar jacket and trousers, but they dont zip in cos they're a different make. Anything else I should be thinking of getting? Jake |
I'd be inclined to get a large all in one waterproof suit. You should be able to pick one up for £30 - 40 and if you get caught in a total downpour then you'll be well protected from the rain.
On the same theme a spare pair of gloves in case your first pair get soaked. |
For me the most important thing is time. If your worried about the the time you'll stress and won't enjoy it. So give yourself extra! :D
|
Heated grips might be an idea. Maybe take a thermos of hot soup too.

gloves I have covered I think, somewhere.
flask will be full of tea, service station tea is far too expensive! It may not rain, who knows! And time wise, I have an entire day. No rushing! I will be motorwaying it, the M1.... all the way up, a good hundred and fifty miles straightness :shock: Jake |

You wont have a problem, hopefully. Its a minimal distance.
I did a 3500 mile journey to portugal and back without any problems apart from a top up of oil. |
Seeing as you have all day, why are you taking the motorway? Pick out some twisty A roads and see a bit of the country. Plus, as your speed will be lower you won't be so cold when you finish.
