A '''motorcycle tour operator''' is a [[company]] or [[organization]] that provides guided [[motorcycle]] [[tours]] for a [[fee]]. Typically, the tour package includes the assistance of an experienced tour [[guide]] on his or her own [[motorcycle]] and the support of a [[van]] or [[truck]] with a [[Trailer (vehicle)|trailer]] in tow. The support [[vehicle]] serves two purposes: to haul the [[luggage]] of the tour participants and spare [[bikes]], as well as water and snacks; and to provide shelter for passengers or riders who have fallen ill during the trip. |

[[Touring]] on motorcycles has gained in popularity during the last decade. The advantages of touring with the support of one of these specialized touring firms are obvious, especially when traveling overseas. Many motorcycle tour operators help their clients with the transport of their own bike or help to find a suitable rental bike for the duration of the tour. They may also assist with [[Visa (document)|visa]] and [[customs]] requirements of the particular country. Language can also present a problem for those who venture out on their own. Riding a motorcycle in your own backyard is one thing, but professional touring guides provide security in the great unknown, like when riding through the [[Sahara desert]] or the [[Australian Outback]], for example. |
|||
Motorcycle tour operators take care of all aspects of your [[vacation]] from [[lodging]] and [[dining]] to showing you the most relevant [[attractions]] and sights along the way. They also provide the traveler with the safety and comfort of a group dynamic and provide support in [[emergencies]] and when the going gets tough. |
