Planning a long solo ride

[miarfej]

---

You are thinking of doing a solo getaway ride, you and your bike and maybe with a backrider companion.

How do you plan it?
What are the items in your checklist?
What tools do you bring?
What are the dos and donts?

Or do you even recommend doing it?

Bakasyon is almost there, and I'm planning to do the trip from here (Cebu) to Negros, and it will be my first time.

What do you think guys? TIA!

Plan your route like setting your stops and refuel stations.
Pack only your important things (the lighter the better).
Bring some spare tubes (if you're bike is on spokes) or put some tire seal (if its on mags). TOOLS! TOOLS! TOOLS!. Bring also some extra rios if you're on spokes.
Put you're bike on a traveling condition like tuning-up, check for wirings, check the battery. (I think there would be mini-shops along the way that could help you with small troubles alon the way.)
Be MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY FIT. Respect the road ahead of you and Ride Safe.

- plan it ahead gyud like 1 week before... bring road map if first time pa nmo ad2 anang lugara..
- tune up imo bike, change oil kung mahimo nya check ur bike head to foot...
- travel light lang, budget tanan clothes kung pila ka ka-days nya add 1 extra in case ma uwanan ka..
- ayaw kalimti dala og rain-coat kai dli ma tagna-an ang panahon karon..
- kung mo byahe ka much better travel ka early morning kai dli pa samok ang dalan og bugnaw pa ang hangin..
- bring tools na common gamiton (like screw driver, adjustble, etc.)
- dont forget to bring CASH gyud kai dli bya mo dawat og CC ang mg vulcanizing shops sa baryo-baryo..
- kung mahimo travel with companion gyud like backride or fellow biker.. (para in case of emergency og para tig picture-picture, aw.. hehehe)

What are the dos and donts?
DO's:
Do plan your trip and stick to the plan.
Do know the rates and the gasoline stations along the way.
Do reservations and have your stays booked in advance.
Do get a map and map out your route.
Do know the times of the RORO trips.
Do know the #'s of the police stations for each town in case of emergency.

DONT's:
Do not travel late night. As much as possible, plan to drive during early mornings and late afternoons, but never into the night.
Do not go outside of the mapped route, stick to the route as much as possible.

Ako lang ika recommend nimo bro is to ride with at least another rider. This way, naa makatabang nimo if there are any unforeseen events and mas okay sad ang byahe if naa kauban. The more the merrier ika-nga. If taas taas imo bakasyon bro, I would suggest to go around Negros. I am from Negros Oriental and I can definitely recommend exploring Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental, you'd have to be away though for around 3-4 days to tour it (daghan daghan ang stops and day driving only with lunch and snack stops).

-hope makatabang ni nimo bro, its been a long time since I went on a joy ride (from Negros to Naga and back). Plan it good and you will surely enjoy it. Good luck!
