A long motorcycle adventure is about more than simply loading luggage and turning the ignition. Before setting off on a multi-day or multi-week ride, every rider needs to prepare both the machine and themselves. Whether riding a BMW R 1300 GS Adventure, Yamaha T7, Triumph Tiger, Ducati Multistrada, or another adventure bike, the fundamentals remain the same. A proper inspection can prevent small problems from becoming major failures far from home.
