Motorcycle Touring - Seeing the World on a Motorcycle
Motorcycle Touring - defined as "a journey for business, pleasure or education often involving a series of stops and ending at the starting point". I define motorcycle touring as the best possible way to see and experience the world. Touring on a motorcycle is the greatest adventure - knowing where you are supposed to end up at the end of a day, but not having any idea what lies between your starting and end points.While some folks like to take the motorcycle out for day trips, returning home at the end of the day, I much prefer to go somewhere. I like to travel - I love Motorcycle Touring. In the States, we have ridden the motorcycles through much of the country - the east coast, from the Hudson Valley up to Maine - the great western states, Colorado up through the coast of Northern California - through the Smokey Mountains, the Adirondack Mountains, the Green Mountains of New Hampshire, the Rockies. I have been amazed by the beauty of this country, while on my motorcycle.
If you are at a loss regarding where to plan your next motorcycle trip, check out Cool Bike Rides. The site was designed by a rider who was looking to share his experiences with others. If you're looking for a place to explore, find your next ride here.I also recommend Open Road Journey - designed to help motorcyclists find great roads and routes throughout the world using a combination of GPS, interactive maps, and other technologies. They offer routes all over the US so we will appeal to a great deal of motorcyclists. And, don't be discouraged about touring an area of the country far from where you live. Consider shipping your motorcycle to your destination, and flying. You save travel time not driving cross country, and you get more time on the motorcycle traveling through a completely different area of the country. Definitely a WIN WIN situation.
