AHR helmet guide: 5 Tips to make your Long-Distance Motorcycling more comfortable

If you are making a to-do list for your first long distance motorcycle ride and you do not know what to bring with you, check the tips below.
1. Each state has its own helmet laws. If you plan to ride to another state, please make sure you learn and understand the helmet laws of that state before your trip.
2. Choose the right gear for your trip.
(1) Wear a well-fitting full-face helmet with a clear face shield, instead of half face helmet. A full-face helmet can protect you from wind, rain, flying debris and bugs during your trip. We offer a flip up full-face helmet that includes a sun visor and a clear face shield, which can give you even more protection.

(2) If you are riding with a friend, prepare a compatible intercom system, so you can communicate easily. If you ride alone, you can use an intercom system to play music, podcasts, or audiobooks.

(3) Pack your clothes according to the climate. A pair of comfortable and protective boots and gloves should also be packed, and don't forget a rain suit or jacket.
(4) Pick a large and firm seat so you can ride for a long time without getting pain or numbness.
(5) Bring earplugs in case the wind is too loud.
(6) Install a motorcycle bag or box where you can store your food, water, first aid kit, phone, motorcycle tool kit, and any other things you may need.
3. Read the map and know where you can stop. If you have a paper map, mark the specific points where you will be able to rest and eat, refuel your motorcycle, or use the toilet.
4. Ride at a slow and steady speed. It is safer, more efficient, and more comfortable to ride for 2-3 hours at a consistent speed, then rest for 15 mins, as opposed to riding hard and fast for 1 hour then resting for 1 hour.
5. Conduct proper maintenance on your motorcycle before you leave. Replace the worn tires or the old brake pads to ensure you bike is working properly and to reduce the risk of accidents.
