Road trip planning

For route planning I use a discontinued mapping software that interfaces with Google maps called t.y.r.e. It allows you to set waypoints (as many as you want) to force the route onto interesting roads and then daisy chains them as subsequent destinations. You program the route on the laptop or desktop computer and then transfer the route to a Garmin or Tomtom GPS that has route planning as a feature. Then you just pick the route and follow the prompts. If you choose to do this I recommend zomming way in on each waypoint so that you are sure it is on the road you want (and on the correct side if the road is divided) so the GPS doesnt keep telling you to make a u turn to essentially 'pick up the flag' before proceeding to the next waypoint that was programmed.

As far as a radar detector, I found better success without them. Drive reasonably on the 4 lane roads (within 10 mph or so of the limit, or go with the flow of traffic), and have fun on the smaller backroads. You can also use Waze to be advised of some speed traps, or get a python detector that may be more effective in giving you advanced warning of police that may be using laser.

Ur FF will be fine, if battery is old it’s about the only thing I would worry about

If you just had it serviced you are good to go, if you want to be extra prepared bring along a halotron extinguisher and an extra flat fix,

Follow BT's advice on question 2,

Enjoy the trip!

 

I have planned many road trips using www.motorcycleroads.com
I look for the same kind of roads on the bike and the car.
