SBK Japan

Here's what has proven to be a basic round-up of what makes for a better ride experience through peace of mind

• A well serviced bike - with good tyres, chain and a regular service record
• Shaken/ Insurance papers
• Crash worthy riding gear - if you aren't confident what you're wearing will save you then you need better
• Cellphone
• Bike toolkit - check to see it's all there and know what it ALL does
• Rider maintenance kit - The stuff you need to keep YOU in the mood. Sunscreen, lipbalm, eyedrops, pain-subduers, allergy meds, tissues, helmet-screen cleaners, pen, paper etc..
• Extra insurance - not just the jibaiseki(basic 3rd party cover) but atleast a hefty ni-ni hoken(should cover damage to others, other's property upto 20million yennies and cover for your personel injury incase of a self-caused accident)
• Puncture repair kit - available at all major parts shops
• Touring Mapple
