Motorcycles are fuel efficient, and are well-known for their ability to travel where cars cannot, depending on the type of bike. Touring bikes do not do well off the road, and some dirt bikes are not allowed on the highway. Motorcycle enthusiasts and bikers know the difference.
The ability to tour by bike is a freedom few enjoy. Only one passenger in back at most, the ability to park virtually anywhere, and 80 to 100mpg makes bike touring economical.
Here are the top three motorcycle tours of Texas:
Tejas Motorcycle Tours
Tour the Texas Hill Country and the Big Bend area seeing sights most people miss by car. Stay the night at a working cattle ranch, riding horses by day and your bike by night. Several different tour packages are available from 1 to 7 days in length. They are located in San Antonio, Texas.
A guided tour is better than going by yourself because the guides know all the best back roads, places to eat, things to see and so forth. You won’t get lost with a guide.
Dallas Motorcycle Tours
Located in Dallas, Texas, the guided tours offered cover both self-driving and guided tours. Arlington, Ft. Worth, Dallas, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, and more are areas begging to be seen and experienced.
Tours range from 3-21 days, and if you don’t have a bike, they have well maintained late model bikes for rent.
Serenity Motorcycle Tours
They offer self-guided tours, guided tours and custom tours of Texas and surrounding states. Try the Texas Hill Country Tour which includes San Antonio, Fredericksburg, Austin, Boerne, Rock Springs, Kerrville, Hunt and more. Five days and four nights will leave you wanting more. Kerrville is home to some of the best antique shops in the state, and the population, culture, music and architecture is heavily influenced by Spanish, Mexican and German ancestors.
They are located in Weatherford, Texas, which is near the Fort Worth area.
All of these companies can be contacted online, or by phone as listed on their website. Whether you want a self-guided tour, which is buying a route, map (with all the sites, places to eat and sleep, and so on), and supplies, a guided tour where you follow a guide and let him or her point out the sites, or a custom tour for yourself and friends, these companies are happy to serve you.
See the state of Texas like never before by motorcycle. Some RV campgrounds allow motorcycle camping, most state parks do (be sure to follow the rules), and motels have no problem catering to the motorcycle crowd.
