Webi-man's Profile

About the motorcycle

The ZRX1100 is a great motorcycle to ride and view. I've done all the maintenance and are now in great shape.

The usual touring style

I'm mainly a daytime solo tourer. I hope the day comes soon when I can go out and not worry about anything.

What I enjoy about touring.

I enjoy various views while driving. If the motorcycle is in good condition, it's even more fun.

Favorite Spot

I like to drive on the road for the first time.

What are your favorite items?

Daiso: PET Bottle Cap Guzzler Type
Kabaya Foods: Salt-charged tablets

Useful uses and favorite points

Usual use


By making it possible to open the cap of the PET bottle with a single push, it is possible to supply water when the motorcycle is stopped for a short time, such as when waiting at a traffic light. I also take salt tablets to replenish the salt that is lost through heavy sweating.

Useful tips and tricks


The guzzler-type bottle cap from Daiso is an excellent product that allows you to open the lid with a push of a button by replacing the cap of a PET bottle. You can put a plastic bottle with this attached to your tank bag and you will be able to provide water for a short time.

I also carry a tablet with me to take in salt, as they say, you need to supplement with salt as well as water to prevent heatstroke.

Recommendations.


You can use a water bottle that opens with one push of a button, but I think it's good that you can just change the cap to eliminate the hassle of refilling a drink on the road, and you can dispose of the bottle when you're done drinking to reduce your load.

As for the salt tablets, I suppose it would be nice if you could get your salt from dried plums or something else, but I think the tablets are better because they are easy to carry around and don't have to worry about them hurting in the hot sun.

Summary

On days when it's too hot, I hesitate to ride my motorcycle. This year's heatwave has been so intense that I feel like I'm in danger, so I think it's essential to take precautions against heatstroke when riding a motorcycle. I'm sure all of you are taking various measures against heatstroke when you ride in the middle of summer, and I think that proper hydration and salt supplementation are fundamental.

The plastic bottle caps I posted are quite handy, and the introduction of these has allowed me to drink water in a fraction of the time, allowing me to hydrate frequently. As for the salt tablets, I've been using them for a long time to feel the benefits of using them during summer workouts, so I carry them with me when I ride my bike.

There are a lot of useful items at the 100 yen shop, and with a little ingenuity and a certain amount of division, they are useful in a variety of places.
