I am a solo rider. I never know or plan on where I am going to go less there is a good reason. Most of the time I change my mind a few times any way.
I know some place along the way there will someplace to get something to eat and gas for the bike. And for 80,000 or so miles I have made on a bike there has been. After all the roads go some place and the cars and trucks need gas and the people need food.
Other bikers at a place is a good sign to stop. Bikers tend to go safe areas as no one likes the bike messed with. We all like good food riding and having a safe area for the bike Sport rider to a dusty 1% MC there all the same. Stop and look at what there looking at. There is something to the "brotherhood" riders have.
I stop any time anything even looks out of place, nice, there is something new or odd or there is something to the colors I see. Stopped in some vary bad places and dropped my bike more than few time doing this. Bit of photo guy so well worth it to me. May have saved a life once.
Having said that I do pack tools for the bike I can fix a flat and there is a little food and water for a few days if I am going more than just down the road.
Get a few unplaned trips under you and you will fine. Trust your self, point the bike down the road and ride.
