The purpose of the tour is to explore and experience the great state of Texas on your bike. This should be a fun exploration on your bike, not a grueling ride. This is a self-guided, Grand Tour. It is not a race and it is not a 1,000 mile a day event. Texas has fascinating history, great roads to ride, varied geographic regions, cool towns to explore, and many nice folks to meet.

Make it to 25 of the tour stops to qualify as a Tour Finisher (in accordance with the rules for participation). The tour lasts about eight months. So, folks can spend time exploring, seeing the sights, and experiencing all that our great state has to offer.

The tour is open to all brands of motorcycles (two wheeled and three wheeled), as long as the vehicle does not have a steering wheel and/or is not designed for an operator and passenger to sit side-by-side. The tour is not open to cars and autocycles. Motorcycles with sidecars are allowed.

Participants in the tour will visit tour stops that include roadside attractions, historical sites, memorials, unique geography, and biker friendly businesses that sponsor the tour. Our great sponsors help make the tour possible.

Ride from Tour Stop 23 to Tour Stop 10. To subscribe to my YouTube Channel, click here.
