Tips for Planning a Motorcycle Road Trip to PCB Florida

Pack Light

When packing, be sure to cargo weight limits of your bike and adjust tire pressure and suspension accordingly based on your pack. Load items toward the bike’s center of gravity, and consider packing items that have multiple uses. Keep in mind items that you can easily buy on the road or anything that you can use and then toss during your time on the road.

Bring Layers and Appropriate Attire

Lightweight, synthetic materials are best because you can easily wash and dry them when on the road, but also keep in mind that you have access to washer and dryer units at Aqua Resort. Be sure to bring rain gear and layers for cold weather even when traveling to Florida. Consider bringing items like gaiters, rain gloves and a small towel for unexpected rain.

Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated is always important, especially when on the road. A backpack hydration system can be helpful on longer trips when you don’t want to wait until you stop every time for a sip of water.

Plan breaks

While it’s great that you can be flexible on the road, it’s also key to understand when you need to take a break. Have a few planned breaks in mind to fuel up, get some food and water, and rest.

Look Over Your Bike Each Morning

Take a good look over your bike each morning to be sure it’s running properly and safely. Here are a few things to check:

• Fluids (oil, primary, transmission, brake, and any other fluids)
• Battery
• Brakes
• Filters
• Tire Pressure
• Windshield
• Foot pegs
• Seat
• All Electrical (high beams, low beams, turn signals, running lights, brake lights)

Have a Digital and Paper Map

Have a clear path digitally and on paper for your trip. It’s important to have a route mapped out, and digital maps can help you steer clear of traffic and unexpected road closures along the way. You can easily download maps to have digital copies available on your phone for areas with little to no service available. Use our Panama City Beach directions as a reference.

Have a Plan for Unexpected Weather

Weather can be unpredictable, so have a plan in place if you have to switch gears. This is especially important if you’re riding in a group. Prepare with proper clothing for any amount of extended time in the rain, and have an exit strategy for more severe weather conditions. Always check the weather forecast before you hit the road each day.
