Gives you more up-close experience
When you are riding, through beautiful sceneries, on a 2-wheeler instead of a car, you step into that landscape and becoming a part of it. You are feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, breathing the air, enjoying the sweet smell of flowers and plants around you, and eating the occasional bug. You can’t enjoy any one of these things in an enclosed vehicle. When you are biking, you are not passive within the scene around you but actively participating in it. This up-close experience creates intense memories that last a lifetime.
Road tripping on a motorcycle saves some money
Driving a car is indeed cheaper than flying, however, keeping a car gassed up can be pretty expensive. Even when stacked up against some of today’s most fuel-efficient car engines, motorcycles give you a fuel economy. When you compare the expenses on fuel for car and motorcycle trip, car trip is head and shoulders above a motorcycle trip in gasoline expenses. Additionally, if you don’t own a ride, renting a bike far cheaper than renting a car. Maintenance of two-wheeler is also easy and less expensive than a car’s maintenance. You can spend the money that you saved on a motorcycle trip on more exciting and enjoyable things, and you won’t have to stop every few hours to fuel up, which means that you will get there that much faster.
You can park nearly anywhere
Parking is one of the biggest problems for car riders, especially in tourist spots like national parks and museums. On the other hand, when you are biking, you always find a place to park your motorcycle. While you are traversing through beautiful landscapes you can find a parking place in rest stops and roadside hotels. Even the smallest car available ca take more space in parking than a motorcycle. Furthermore, due to the smaller size, a motorcycle is easier to maneuver and travel in closed spaces. In many countries including the U.S., it is even legal for motorcycles to weave in and out of stopped traffic that can help you continue your trip smoothly even when traffic is prevalent. When you will pay less for camping spots, parking, and other costs placed onto those traveling in cars, you will count the lucky stars that you’re on a bike.
You will travel light
There is a common complaint of the road-trippers that they always bring along way too much stuff every other time. This could be a case of a car-tripping because pack heavy for a traditional road trip in a car. On a motorcycle road-trip, you are pretty restricted in terms of how much luggage you can carry. You can’t bring all your creature comforts with you because you started a road-trip to step out of your comfort zone in the first place. Pack light, and live light as you soar along with your mindblowing ride. This is extremely important when you’re traveling as a couple. It is better to pack enough clothes for just a couple of days and plan to hit a few laundromats along the way. With so little stuff to worry about, you’ll feel wonderfully unfettered.
If you have a free soul, you should do at least one fully prepared road-trip, having all the safety gear including vest and rain gear with you, on a motorcycle. You will surely make memories of life in this adventure.
