What to Take to the Riding Area
Preparing for a Ride
Tips
Taking
Care of the Unexpected,
A safe and enjoyable ride begins with good
planning and preparation. Always ride with at
least one other person in case you have trouble,
and let someone know where you’re going and
when you expect to return.
Before riding in an unfamiliar area, find out in
advance if you need special permits, get maps
so you can study the terrain, and talk to other
riders who know the area. The Forest Service
and the Bureau of Land Management (USA
only), the Ministry of Natural Resources
(Canada only), riding clubs, and off-road
magazines are good sources of information.
Along with your motorcycle and riding gear,
you should take along some tools and supplies
in case you have a problem. For some of the
difficulties you might encounter, see
which begins on
page .
We recommend that you always take water,
food, a first aid kit, and your owner’s manual.
Other items you should consider loading on
your truck or trailer include:
a tool kit
tire repair supplies and tools, tubes, and tires
extra parts, such as a drive chain and master
links, control levers, cables, and spark plugs
wire, duct tape, and rope
extra gasoline
