Preparing for a Ride For safety, all refueling should be done at a gas If you decide to take some tools, spare parts, or station on the way to the riding area or at your other supplies on the trail, be sure you can carry base camp.
Transporting Your Honda If you use a truck or motorcycle trailer to transport your Honda, we recommend that you follow these guidelines: • Use a loading ramp. • Secure the motorcycle in an upright position, using motorcycle tie-down straps. Avoid using rope, which can loosen and allow the motorcycle to fall over.
