As a private pilot when making a cross country VFR trip we should file a flight plan with the FAA in case there is some type of emergency that forces you down. That filing along with emergency beacons helps locate you much faster.

 

Since motorcycles are not equipped with emergency beacons we rely on our phones in case of emergencies on the road, but as we all know there's not 100% cell coverage across the country. On top of that if the worst should happen and you cannot communicate or move you have some sort of backup.

 

You can buy GPS emergency locators $150. on up, but think, aircraft with the most sophisticated electronics in the world file flight plans.

We think its a good idea that you file a "bike ride plan" with a friend, relative or Club when your riding across our Great State of Texas or across the country (especially alone). If there is some kind of emergency someone has an idea of what route you took and what time you should have arrived at your destination and did not check in.
