Ouch!
Here's something to consider on a long road trip....
17mm wrench
spare oli drain plug w/crush washer
I'm on my way down to Franklin, stopped to get a new set of tires and an oil change....
Got up this morning and found a huge, HUGE, puddle under my F6B, come to find out the oil drain plug was not tightened.
Luckily there was an auto parts store close by, snugged up the oil drain plug and I was on my way.
On another note for tips for a long road trip..... Back Roads
Took the long way through Ohio, route 60 south all the way to West Virginia. Beautiful road, beautiful scenery, lots of twisties.
Back roads are so much nicer than an Interstate if you have the time.
The best weather app for nearly nothing Rain Alarm (free) or Rain Alarm Pro. You set a radius in miles to search for weather, and it has three default alarms you can set. one for rain close by, one for heavy rain, even if further away etc. best app by far and I depend on it for all travel. They have both android and iPhone versions.
i use Waze instead of google maps, as it includes road hazards, such as potholes, construction, police speed-traps etc. Google actually bought them a while ago.
Man... some of you guys are high tech. I work in I.T. but when it comes to my motorcycle and motorcycling; I just make a strip map to my destination... and then ride to it.

Make sure your not riding a Harley!!! and all should be well.....at least not a one built before 2014.....Ride safe
For long distance riding, especially in hot weather, a Camelbak hydration pack really helps. I have a 3 liter one. Filled up full with ice at a gas stop and then cold water will keep you hydrated and feeling cooler between stops.
One tip when using, when done taking a drink, blow back into the bite valve to flush the line. Otherwise, your next drink will be warm water heated up from the sun.
Do your Best and Miss the Rest!
