There are a number of things that are important to consider when getting ready for that big trip. Obviously the most important thing is to ensure you have your Can-Am Spyder fully serviced , had the tyres checked and fully optioned with the most relevant accessories like GPS, boot and trailer, and windscreen for example.
Having got your bike ready to go, now you need to get yourself ready to go. Plan your route so that you travel the right amount of distance knowing that, despite the extraordinary comfort level of your Can-Am Spyder, you need to have breaks and appropriate accommodation. For some of you, this might be the local camping ground, utilising your new Trailer Camper, and for others it might be the finest hotel you can find on the side of the road.
Having got all of this sorted, have a think about some things that will be useful in the extra storage space the Can-Am provides, just in case you find yourself in a sticky situation.
