MOTORCYCLE RIDES
Distinguished riding events that stand out from the rest. Since 1976, we’ve been at the forefront of creating unforgettable experiences for riders of all backgrounds. We continually evolve, adding new and exciting events to our calendar every few years. Most recently, in 2024, we introduced a unique tour of the Mother Road Route 66. Join us and experience the difference that decades of expertise can make!
Our Top-tier Riding Events are created by our people who have an enviable amount of motorcycle touring experience. These tours are differentiated from regional day rides we sponsored monthly in the past and a few that we still run periodically. These events are available each year:
- Three Flags Classic – Annual Labor Day ride from Mexico to Canada or the reverse, since 1976.
