I ride a '13 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic and it is comfortable for the longer rides I do. My days recently if I'm free will be around 400+ km round trip. I haven't made any changes to the bike outside of a backrest for the wife when she comes with me and a small roll bag with the purpose of take a day or two trip away. I've been looking at taking a run down through PA and another loop through Algonquin Park towards Quebec.
I was looking for some advice to what you do to plan out your own trips. The goal is to build up some experience so I can take a week off and head down to Chareslton, S.C. I prefer traveling alone and understand there is a great risk riding alone over a long distance but I was wondering how you approach the journey.
Are you planning out your routes or modifying as you ride? Are you prebooking hotels? How have you left the bike overnight? Disk lock? I'm a believer that if someone wants the bike it isn't going to do much to deter it just might slow them down a little.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
