HOW TO 04 · STEP BY STEP
Check. Plan. Prepare.
- 01
Start With What You Need
Open the Rider Guides + Toolkit and choose the tool that matches where you are now. Start with readiness if the trip is only an idea, use the planner and estimator once you know the destination, then move to packing, handover and navigation as departure gets closer.
- 02
Check Your Readiness
Work through the 36 Rider Readiness checks covering documents, licence, insurance, riding ability, health, emergency preparation and equipment. Treat unfinished items as a practical to-do list—not as a guarantee that a rider or trip is ready. Progress is saved only in the browser and device you are using.
- 03
Build Your Trip
Use the Fly & Ride Planner to bring the important pieces into one place: destination, dates, flights, rental motorcycle, accommodation, routes and practical notes. Return to the planner as bookings are confirmed so the information you carry reflects the trip you are actually taking.
- 04
Estimate the Cost
Choose the destination and display currency, then enter your own figures for flights, motorcycle hire, accommodation and daily spending. Check the total and contingency before committing to bookings. The result is a planning estimate based on your inputs, not a supplier quote.
- 05
Pack + Check the Bike
Build and save your Packing Checklist before departure. At motorcycle pickup, use the Handover Guide to inspect and record the bike, existing damage, tyres, brakes, lights, controls, luggage and supplied equipment before you ride away.
- 06
Use the Practical Guides
Prepare offline Google Maps, checked route sections, dependable power and an optional GPX with the Motorcycle Navigation guide. For Thailand, use the Rider Guide for destination planning and the Loop Planner to shortlist routes by hire base, available days and maximum difficulty.
- 07
Final Check. Then Ride.
Before departure, reopen your plan and checklist. Confirm the rental booking, licence and documents, current weather and route conditions, first fuel stop, overnight destination, offline maps, charging and emergency contacts. Save the essential details locally so they are still available without mobile coverage.
- 08
Plan. Prepare. Ride.
The tools work best as one sequence: identify gaps, build the trip, check the budget, prepare your kit, inspect the motorcycle and test navigation. Keep checking current local information and make the final decision for the conditions in front of you.
