Get Ready For Your Long Weekend main image

With a long weekend on the horizon, there is no better way to spend it than to hit the track or trails. It's time to get your gear in check and shake off the dust for the adventure that awaits, make the most of your time off by getting prepared early.

There's nothing worse than rocking up to the track and your bike won't start, or you didn't put fresh rubber on and you've got no traction... way to ruin a good time!  Make sure you're on top of your bike prep so you aren't scrambling to get ready at the last minute!

You've got no plans for the long weekend? Then you've got time on your hands to give your bike a bit of extra love.  Free your mind from those niggly maintenance tasks... grease some bearings, rebuild the top end, repack your exhaust, and bleed those brakes.  You'll want to have all your parts and tools ready to go so you don't waste any time.

Tyres

Change your tyres and give your bike some fresh rubber to ensure you're hooking up and getting that power to the ground

Tubes

Take a spare tube with you, trust us when we say it could save the day, or the whole weekend of riding.

Air Filters

Protect your engine, keep a fresh filter that is clean and oiled correctly to optimise your bikes performance.

Grips

One of the main points of contact with your bike, comfort and control is key so keep them fresh!

Service Your Bike

Keep your engine running in tip top shape, some fresh oil and a new filter can go a long way when it comes to protecting your engine and saving you from a whole lot of hassle in the long run!

Now how are you going to get your bike to the track? Trailer, ute, van, or if you don't have any of these don't let it stop you, as long as you've got a towbar you can put a bike rack on your car. There are a few things that will help with this, so don't forget your tie-downs, you'll need a ramp (or maybe two), and a bike stand will come in handy when you get to the track

There are always those extra bits and pieces you can't live without, so make the weekend a breeze by picking up all the essentials to get you through.  Beat the heat with electrolytes, a good hydration pack, and a hat, but you won't get too far without extra fuel so you'll need a fuel can, and don't be that unprepared person asking around for tools.
