“Welcome to Road Trip Bikers”




Taking a road trip on your motorcycle is your great expedition!

This is the spot to View Mobile Videos and to see what others have done with their mounted cams. There's a lot of creative and interesting video to be seen here. Just click on the State you wish to view in the map below. It's a link to a State specific Road-Trip-Bikers Show and Tell page with youtube videos.

Traveling on two wheels is so much cooler than in a four-wheel, fuel efficient, econo-box, cramped nightmare. Besides, bikes are just as easy on gas as a compact car and wouldn't you rather be seen on your bike than in one of those?

Biker Road Trips are thrilling, exciting, and adventurous. In the wind is not just a fact, it's a metaphor.

Add it all up and that spells Freedom.

Freedom to get away for just the weekend to have a relaxing time or spend your whole vacation (2 or 3 weeks) on the road and really see places!

Well, Take it from a former motorcycle durability Test RiderIt's all good!

I've spent my vacations on the road for many years and I've learned a few things along the way. My experiences taught me how to do it efficiently. I learned to ask the right questions.

For example:

• What's the most useful equipment and gear?

• What is a Biker friendly motel?

• Should I Plan the whole road trip or make it up on a day to day basis?

• Where are exciting places to visit in my state?




In my travels I meet many people and a lot of them ask me what that camera on my helmet or attached to my handlebar is all about. I explain that I'm capturing my whole trip on video. They get charged up and mention that they wanted to do the same thing! Like me, they thought to themselves... "I wish I could capture all this on Video." Well, that's what this site is about too.

Capture video from your helmet cam or your cell phone and link to it. Share those cool and memorable road trip experiences through video and pics.


Here's where to learn how to Post your videos too. For now, we'll accept links to your video submissions. After submitting links please submit Tales and Pics from your Road Trips. Most of the content will be from local trips in your state, however - if you want- you can submit an entire vacation road trip too..

Pay it forward. Let others know about your trip. How was the scenery? Was it an exciting route with lots of steep mountain grades and curves or just rolling hills? Were there places to stop for fuel, food, or lodging? What about landmarks? Generally speaking, what made this trip special and exciting?





The Featured Video


August is the month for bike week in Sturgis, South Dakota. This video is simply my arrival in downtown Sturgis in the middle of bike week.

I started out the day in Faith, South Dakota which is about one hundred miles from Sturgis. I did some serious shopping for a room back in April of 2011 and the nearest location and least expensive accommodations I could find landed me in Faith.

It wasn't so bad being so far from the action. The Branding Iron Inn is a quaint little place and Tim along with the the other folks running it are very nice. And for $49 bucks a night it's well worth it.

The day began with a 150 mile trip to Devils Tower in Wyoming. (This ride will be posted soon) After Devils Tower I headed back east toward the historic old town of Deadwood, South Dakota.

Surprisingly, Deadwood comes in a close second as a destination for bikers and there were lots of them. In fact, the whole area around Sturgis is packed with bikers. You pass them by the hundreds for a hundred miles.

I arrived in Sturgis around one o'clock and proceeded to ride the main drag and then park my bike and hit the sidewalk. As you'll see from the video it was the place to be! Click the play button to see what I mean.





I know that you love the open road. You love exploring new and exciting places on your bike. You also probably love to share your stories and experiences. Well, I'm here to encourage you in that. Share those experiences!

On my last trip I shot hundreds of hours of video and streamed it live to the internet with an app for my phone. Friends and family could see right where I was and experience the same bliss I was feeling.

Recently I purchased a helmet cam and I'm building tons of HD video. I'll be taking many Road Trips and uploading the video of each one.

If you're interested you can keep up by checking my Biker Blog frequently. You will see depictions of the cool places I've traveled to with points of interest, gorgeous scenery and...

I'll show YOU how I did it!
