Long drive checks?
#31
ensure your breakdown recovery has something similar to AA's relay..

normal AA and RAC breakdown cover will take you to a local garage only, with the relay (about £50 extra) they will take you to one single final destination of your choice if they cannot fix it at the roadside, rather than to a garage.

obviously a full set of bulbs, at least a couple of H7's, and the break light and indicator bulbs, take a full set of fuses, electrical tape, litre of oil, basic spanners and allen keys.. if you can get hold of one of those little motorbike toolkits then that would be great, there arent many emergency tools you would need that these kits dont have and they are small.

WD40, and some hand wipes/gloves too in case you need to do some work at the side of teh road or change your tyre.

definately fluids.

ensure you rotate tyres before they go in, and torque bolts up properly, check them before you set off too. If i am going on a really long drive i check the tracking too (but i have a mate who works at a tyre place)
Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
