Accidents
Hopefully this wont happen. But make sure you have the emergency service number
for the country you are travelling in.
Bike Problems
Before you go, look up where the nearest dealer for your bike is to your final
destination. It'll also be worth looking one or two up en route. If you are
going to need work doing during your trip, even if you are going to need new
tyres, do the leg work before you go. Contact the dealer to ensure they can get
the tyres in BEFORE you travel, paying for these in advance will guarantee the
best rates.
Breakdown and recovery cover.
Check that your car recovery covers your bike, if it doesn't then get separate
cover for your bike BEFORE you set off. Check they will recover you from an
accident, and NOT JUST a breakdown.
Insurance.
Don't go anywhere
without valid insurance. Check your insurance and TAX are not going to expire
whilst you are on your break.
Spare Keys.
Get a spare ignition key cut, And dig out the spare keys for your bike locks.
Always carry a spare set.
Emergency Contact List.
Prepare an emergency list, and keep it separate from your passports and
documents. Heaven help if you lose any of your documents on any trip, but it
means you wont lose your contacts. Keep on it any contact phone numbers and
addresses (even if you have them on your mobile phone).
Bike Theft
If your bike is stolen, contact the local police station immediately.
Document Theft
If your documents are stolen, contact the local police station immediately.
