Riders traveling in a group can keep in contact with one another as well as get important information about highway conditions, etc. from truckers and other drivers.

• Finally, carry a basic first aid kit in your saddle bags or trailer.

Camping is fun at any time.

For people who enjoy camping and outdoors, motorcycle camping adds to pleasure of riding. A day in sun followed by sitting around a camp fire at night listening to frogs and crickets is a great way to travel. Talk about getting away from routine and mundane.

Motorcycle camping is also a great way to make new acquaintances along your journey. It is hard not to meet new people and share a fire, if not a meal, in a campground. It is a far different environment than typical chain motel found at Interstate exits. The nice thing about motorcycle camping is that it is so easy. Ultra light, compact camping gear designed for motorcycle riders is readily available, easy to set up and use and inexpensively priced.
