Thanks to some last-minute cancellations, you get to save on one of the upcoming motorcycle tours in Patagonia. This one is called the "Southern Lakes Explorer," and as you probably guessed, it's fantastic!
Imagine all those great areas and more we can't even explain to you in one incredible South American motorcycle adventure tour!
Although the hot topic at the moment is Patagonia motorcycle tours, (which are almost sold out!) those riders who like to plan ahead a bit further can rely on us the "Highlights of Peru" motorcycle tour for the season starting next July! This is a new offering by RIDE Adventures in conjunction with one of our partner companies, that we're very excited to bring to you.
How can you become the most envied trendsetter in both Country Clubs and Biker Gangs at the same time? This will be difficult if you're a fan of one and not the other, but those who love riding motorcycles such as Harley-Davidsons and playing golf have a grand opportunity here.
Hey, let's not kid about this: While there's certainly a mix of motorcycle manufacturers represented at Bikes, Blues & BBQ in Northwest Arkansas every year, the Harley owners represent the overwhelming majority!
It's working! Look at how clean the rear shock is in the picture...
Did you realize you get your motorcycle tours and rentals at a discount through RIDE Adventures? Not many companies offer something like this...
From time to time, we're asking riders we know to chime and offer us a "behind the scenes" look at their motorcycles, products, and riding gear. This particular post comes from Damon Bourne of Madison, Wisconsin, following his first trip on the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail this past weekend:
Our first T.W.A.T. tour was a great (but cold) success for sure!
(Above, a clip from Tierra del Fuego during some route research, where it's difficult to even stand still in such wind.)
"How windy is it in Patagonia?" - "What's it like riding a motorcycle in Tierra del Fuego?" - "Can I handle the riding terrain?"
We're getting these questions almost every day now, and that's exactly why RIDE Adventures exists: To consult with you about your ideal motorcycle riding vacation AND make your reservations for you!
Some riders can handle the wind in Patagonia, and others cannot. The best thing you can do to determine this ahead of time is to CONTACT US and start a discussion about whether or not Patagonia is right for you.
"How windy is it in Patagonia?" On certain sections of your journey through the Andes Mountains in southern Chile and Argentina, the Argentine side can be extremely windy. By about 9:30 a.m., the sun has heated the surface of the "pampas" of Argentina, and cold Andean winds come rushing down the eastern side and across Ruta 40 in an incredible hurry. It's not uncommon for a steady 50+ mph west wind to then continue through to the early evening, and because these portions of the trip are so wide open, just taking off your helmet or gloves for a rest break might mean you'll never see them again. (They could get ripped away by the winds, with few fences or anything to stop them for blowing across the country.)
Again, it's best to consult with us about whether or not such riding conditions are something you can handle. Generally speaking, riders with a solid history of off-pavement riding will make it through the Patagonia wind safely if they keep a moderate speed. Then again, that's an overlooked truth about all motorcycle riding: If you just swallow your pride and slow down a bit, you can make it through just about anything!
Slowing down might not be an option for Dakar Rally riders, but are you getting paid to ride so fast?
