It’s official: We’ve posted our first motorcycle trip offering specific to Harley rentals for Harley-Davidson tours!
Quite a bit after the fact, it’s time to make a few comments about our test ride on KTM’s RC8. (A designation that in German, must hint toward “rocket power.”) Just because this is being written after the fact, don’t think that’s for lack of motivation. The RC8 was incredibly motivating.
Now in the middle of our research about motorcycle trips in the Caribbean, the verdict is in: RIDE Adventures will definitely be offering motorcycle tours here, and soon!
(Yes, the airport in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic actually has a thatched straw roof. Nice to see something other than cinder blocks!)
We've posted another photo gallery in Flickr, this one including some of the fantastic scenery you'll visit on a motorcycle tour around San Pedro de Atacama in the driest desert in the world!
It's with tremendous excitement and throttled anticipation that we announce: "We're Going to the Dominican Republic!"
We've said it before: Any motorcycle riders even near the Southeastern United States simply must visit the Barber Motorsports Museum just outside of Birmingham, Alabama. It's incredible!
As if it wasn't an awesome collection of motorsports history to begin with, now the Barber Museum's management is announcing plans to expand? The original 140,000 sq ft museum will now see a 100,000 sq ft addition set to break ground this year. Standing on the inside of the racetrack that loops throughout this "motorsports mecca," a bridge will connect the addition to the original building, allowing visitors to walk over the track and see racing action from a unique perspective.
On the long list of “important things for successful and enjoyable motorcycle riding” is your physical endurance. All prods toward maintaining strength, flexibility, an agility through physical training aside, this post is about staying hydrated.
The hours and miles can slip by quite quickly on the bike, and before you know it, the combination of excitement, heat, air circulation, and not stopping enough to sip from a water bottle can have you physically dehydrated. As any physician would tell you: Being dehydrated slows your mental and physical reactions, and adds to the number of factors that could lead you to injury.
Where will you hide your spare key during long distance motorcycle travels?
Continuing with this topic of “How to Pack for Your Motorcycle Trip,” the video for Part 4 is now up on the RIDE Adventures YouTube Channel.
