Your Best Touring Tip
What is your best tip for touring.
I am relativly new to going longer distances, so I will lead with my best.

Five days before a long trip, do a colon cleanse. This will help you last longer for many reasons.

Riteway, that is the thing since I have owned this touring bike. With the fat boy it was a couple of mountian dews and step on it. Now it is cruise and look around.

Get a rider backrest and some good highway pegs. It might sound stupid, but a drink holder for a bottle of water is a must in the summer. I've found that I dehydrate way faster than I ever thought possible. I stay much sharper mentally when I keep my water intake high.

Drink lots of water/gatorade/ powerade.
Make sure you're comfortable on the bike ( highway pegs help alot )
MP3 player with lots of tunes
When you stop for gas, take a few extra minutes to walk around and stretch your legs
Eat light when on the road ( granola bars work for me )
Sunscreen
If you're not wearing a helmet, wear a comfy hat ( baseball cap, tilley hat etc )
Take lots of pictures and write down details of your trip. Makes for good reading on rainy days or during the winter.
Don't forget to have fun.
