Q. How much riding experience is necessary?
A.
We recommend one or two years experience. Some of the mountain road can be challenging, but we will be touring, not racing. We will be traveling at safe speeds at all times. Average distances on our five-day tours will be about 200 - 250 miles per day.

Q. What will the roads be like?
A.
Most roads will be back country and mountain; some will be two lanes and some four lanes. Not very often, but when necessary, limited access Interstate roads will be used. All roads are paved.

Q. What kind of weather can I expect?
A.
Spring and fall can be rather cool in the mountains, and frost is not out of the question on some early mornings. The mountains are warm and pleasant in the summer with cool evenings and mornings. Schedules for travel will be rain or shine. If necessary, tour schedules will be changed to suit conditions. Dress accordingly; you can always take off extra clothing.

 

 

Q. What if my co-rider tires of riding on my motorcycle?
A.
Our chase vehicle will follow the group at all times. Arrangements can be made to ride with the driver of the chase vehicle. If more than one co-rider tires, they can alternate breaks in the chase vehicle.

Q. What happens if a motorcycle has mechanical problems?
A. Our lead motorcycle and chase vehicle are in constant contact by either two-way radio or cellular phone. A motorcycle needing repair will be loaded in the trailer and taken to the nearest area dealer or shop. The rest of the group will continue on the tour. The cost of the repairs will be your responsibility.
