How to Make the Best of Your Motorcycle Vacation Time

Time management is very important, whether you are in an office cubicle, or on the highways heading to your destinations! if you are planning to go on a motorcycle road trip, or any vacation for that matter, managing time during the vacation will give you the maximum benefit out of the short period that you have to yourself. With that in mind, let's find out what we can do to manage time in the best way possible and maximize the vacation time instead of wasting it in a hotel room.  

Have an itinerary before reaching the destination  

don't make the mistake of thinking that you can have a complete itinerary after reaching the destination, because that is when things will start to become haphazard and fast paced and you will most probably be making wrong decisions. Instead, make a detailed itinerary anticipating your time of arrival at the destination, and allowing for a little bit of rest- and then exploring the destination. Keep in mind that if you were traveling solo, you don't have to account for the comforts or discomforts of other people accompanying you. But if there are other family members with you, or if you have carried a pillion rider with you on the right, make sure to account for the time they need to rest and freshen up before hitting the local destinations. In order to maximize the daytime, plan to reach the destination as early in the morning by reaching the destination a day before by nightfall so that you have enough time to rest during tonight and get on with the day as soon as the sun comes up on the horizon!  

Do the research thoroughly  

a lot of time gets wasted when you hit around wrong places trying to make the best of the destination after reaching it for some instead of doing that, do a thorough research of the destination and the places that you want to visit and find out if they are worthy of your time- because if you are like us, your time probably is very precious, and you don't have a lot to waste. Check out as many online forums and traveler blogs as possible to look for destinations that will give you the maximum benefit of spending some time at that place. You can also talk to local people to find out more about places that have not been visited by other visitors yet, or places that are relatively lesser known.  

Ride a motorcycle, instead of getting stuck in traffic in a car  

as soon as you reach the destination, if you are already riding a motorcycle, power to you, but if you arrived by car, and you are planning to exclude the destinations within the city- it might be a good idea to ditch the car and rent a 2-Wheeler at the local destination so that you don't get stuck behind traffic thereby losing precious time. 2 Wheelers are also economical because they do not consume a lot of fuel like a car, and they can take you places where the car cannot reach. The only compromise you would be making is on the comfort levels, and a little bit of the safety, which brings us to the important point of being safe at all times. Make sure to use a good quality branded premium motorcycle helmet both for yourself as well As for the pillion rider, along with other motorcycle riding accessories such as motorcycle riding gloves and jackets in order to stay protected.  

Taking rest is also important  

if you thought that by going on a whirlwind exploration of the local destination you can maximize the time, you would be wrong because by the end of the day will be completely fatigued and tired and it's not worth the effort that you put in planning the destination in the 1st place. Always plan for breaks in between destination hopping so that the energy levels stay on high and you do not suffer from mental fatigue, or what is commonly known as the traveler’s burnout, by being constantly on the run, jumping from one destination to the next. At the end of the day, your priority should be to enjoy the trip rather than to cover multiple distances at the cost of wellbeing.
