📣📣📣Attention motorcycle 🏍 riders in Central Virginia:

Group meet-up rides can be fun, but you never know the vibe of each particular ride (wheelies, anyone?😎). Or maybe you're looking to explore someplace different than the same old track (Route 5 again?).

Why not try a small-group guided tour where you are the client and your enjoyment is our top priority?

We still have some open spots available for our next guided motorcycle tour this Saturday, May 25. We'll be leaving from the west end of Richmond at 9:00 and hitting some beautiful backroads and sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Open to riders of all skill levels. 100% pavement; 0% interstate.

$175 registration fee includes six-hour guided tour and a delicious lunch at one of our favorites, Blue Mountain Brewery. You won't want to miss it!

No interstates = no billboards

Skyline Drive, the scenic route that runs along Shenandoah National Park and takes travelers through eight different Virginia counties, has just finished receiving $15 million in improvements.

Great event for a great cause!

Can you believe we're only one month away from the 2024 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride?!?!

We are so proud of the motorcycling community for coming together and raising so much already! We're still a little under halfway to our $22,000 goal, but we are confident we will get there!

Does everyone know about airbags for motorcyclists?

This is the forefront of motorcycle safety right now, and it seems to be very promising, but also pretty pricey at the moment.

Do you own an airbag solution now?

If so, do you have the manual (clip-on) activation version or computer-activated one?

If not, would you want this level of safety at current prices (or at potentially lower prices in the future)? 🤔

“I love exploring our beautiful country on two wheels. This is me on my trusty old Triumph Tiger taming the famous Tail of the Dragon last summer on a multi-day trip with my Open Road Moto Tours co-founder Beau Waldrop.

It is that love of adventure, of exploring the great outdoors in the one-of-a-kind experience that only motorcycles provide, that led us to create Open Road Moto Tours. We want to share that experience with riders of all ability levels by offering unique, guided scenic tours in Central Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains.” - Jonathan Brabrand, co-founder
