Information About

Sport Touring




Most Sport Touring riders also have a riding life outside of their travels. Weekend rides with friends, commuting or just running an errand on two wheels may also put miles on a Sport Touring riders odometer.

While some sport-touring aficionados might have disdain for those who ride their motorcycle a few miles to a restaurant on a sunny Sunday, and have contempt for those who Trailer their motorcycle behind a pick-up truck to attend a Rally , what unites them is the pursuit of the perfect road -- may it be in their backyard or across the continent.

Sport-tourers tend to install accessories, called '' Farkles ,'' to better enjoy the ride.

Lastly, sport-tourers are often recognized by the Gear they wear. A favorite motto is '' ATGATT '': "All the gear, all the time," which means the sport-touring motorcyclist will not ride in shorts and a t-shirt. When a non-rider asks "Aren't you hot in all that gear?", a good standard reply is "Well, thanks for noticing..."
