As many motorcyclists would attest, a warm August day is tailor-made for riding. But a day or two out on the road is seldom enough to satisfy the true bike enthusiast. One of the best ways to get the most out of the summer season is to attempt a cross-country cycle journey. Road trips are a staple of our cultural lore, and they can be viewed either as a rite of passage or a way to rediscover one’s youth.
Logistical planning is key, of course. Do you have the suitable motor cycle riding gear for the journey? Where will you stay, and what is the cost of fuel? Try to schedule the trip so that you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the landscape - if you can find a way to ride through the mountains and high desert of the American West, you’re sure to have a memorable experience.
