motorcycle touring
Motorcycle touring is a format of tourism that involves a motorcycle. It has been a subject of note since at least 1915.〔
Motorcycle touring involves special equipment and techniques. A touring motorcycle optimized for long range travel and luggage carrying capacity may be used.〔 Special preparations involved include route planning for unfamiliar areas, packing tools that might be needed, finding food, making overnight stops, finding fuel in remote areas,〔〔 and physical care of the rider's body.〔 It may involve camping〔〔 or attending motorcycle rallies along the way.〔
Some riders take touring to extremes with rides of thousands to over 100,000 miles (kilometers) and lasting years or decades (see Long-distance motorcycle riding and List of long-distance motorcycle riders). These long-distance riders may also join specialized societies such as the German Globetrotter Club and publish. Some notable works concerning such tours include ''The Gasoline Tramp or Around the World on a Motorcycle'' by Carl Stearns Clancy; ''India: The Shimmering Dream'' and other works by Max Reisch; ''The Motorcycle Diaries'' by Che Guevara; ''Fastest Man Around the World'' and other works by Nick Sanders; ''Jupiter's Travels'' by Ted Simon; ''Riding the Edge'' and ''Riding the Ice'' book and video by Dave Barr; the film ''Sjaak the World'' and the book ''Life on 2 wheels'' written by Sjaak Lucassen; the ''Long Way Round'' and ''Long Way Down'' book and television series by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman; and ''Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road'' by Neil Peart.
Motorcycle touring supports a large amount of commerce. By a 2014 estimate, over 40% of all street motorcycles sold in the United States were touring models.〔 Some companies like EagleRider and Harley-Davidson〔 cater to tourists who need to rent a motorcycle. At least one mass-market magazine, ''Roadrunner Motorcycle Touring & Travel'' is devoted to motorcycle touring. Motorcycle tour guide is a pursued by notable individuals including Nick Sanders, Tim Mayhew and Helge Pedersen. At least one broker offers "motorcycle cruising", in which they arrange to bring owners with their bikes on board a cruise ship from the United States to the Caribbean Islands, handling the requisite legal paperwork to ride in Bermuda and elsewhere.〔
