Whether a weekend trip or extended adventure, it all depends on the right equipment. Functional clothing, protectors and rain protection are a must on long trips. Wearing a suitable motorcycle helmet is a legal requirement almost everywhere. However, there are also very different rules and regulations for motorbike equipment and accessories depending on the destination, and you should familiarise yourself with these at all costs when preparing for your trip. In France, for example, motorcyclists have been required to wear gloves since 2016. If you get caught without them, you’ll have to pay a fine. It is also mandatory to wear a safety vest. Otherwise, fines of up to 80 pounds may be imposed. Bikers travelling in Austria are required to carry a first aid kit. It is important that all equipment complies with the regulations in force in the destination country – in Italy, for example, only helmets that have been built according to the ECE 22 standard and marked accordingly may be worn.

Once the right equipment has been procured, the motorbike itself should be put through its paces before your trip. In addition to the engine, chain and brakes, the tyres in particular should be closely inspected. Do they still have enough tread for the trip? Some road surfaces wear down the tyres more than others, so if in doubt, fit new ones before the journey. In the comprehensive product range offered by Moto-tyres.co.uk, bikers will find all motorcycle tyre brands and tread patterns, meaning there will be something to suit every requirement and every style. Spare parts and accessories such as hoses or engine oil are also available in the online shop. All of which means there’s nothing standing in the way of your next trip.
