Wanna go on one of Muthuh's Guided Tours?
Want a Custom Ride for you and your friends?
Want to share a Cross-Country ride with new friends?
Whether you don't have the time or talent for planning a big ride, or just want to be part of a larger group for safety, Muthuh's Rides might be your answer. Of course, readers of Muthuh's Rides will all know when you get caught in the rain, or get lost or, hell, we may even make fun of your snoring, but what a ride it'd be!
Every year, some of my rides are planned as Guided Tours - usually the major rides. Unlike most Guided Tours being offered out there, mine are biker rides, not prissy 'we do everything for you' vacations. You bear the costs of most things you do on the ride - I plan the route, the accommodations, and set up the adventure.
I don't bump the cost of cheap meals, profit from your gas fillups or hold your hand. You're a biker, right? Act like one! For more information on these "Rides Of A Lifetime", visit my Touring Website at www.RidesOfaLifetime.com. It'll be an experience you will never forget!
These tours begin in differnt locations - but we can help you with shipping your bike, towing your bike across country, renting a bike in the starting location, or even riding with you to the starting location. All these plans are custom designed to meet your tour needs. Best to discuss it with us as the possibilities are endless.
There's a couple of rules, though - no whining, no drinkin' and riding...(had to put that in there for the lawyers)... no bitchin' about the route or how many times we stop for pictures (this thing ain't all about YOU ya know!). We have definate styles of riding, starting with as little Interstate as possible; we're not looking for an Iron Butt award - days are almost ALWAYS less than 400 miles, with the vast majority less than 300 and as many as we can less than 200, even some planned for less than 100. Depends on where we are and whats to see. This is a tour, not a marathon.
We ride for maybe 50-75 miles and stop for a rest, (if we haven't found someplace cool to stop at by then). We ride single file on the back roads so you get a chance to enjoy the ride, doubling up only by choice on what little highways we'll be on. You'll know exactly where we'll be each night in case you wanna leave the group, sleep one off, or just stretch the engine a little bit. You come and go as you please.
You need to be cool with riding in the rain if you have to, cold mornings to watch the sun rise over the mountains, and generally take what the trip throws at ya. You ARE a biker ain'tcha?
My trips differ a little from the usual fare of Guided Trips on the prissy-type guided tours. While many tour services offers a chase van, meals, fuel, admissions, tolls/ferry's and similar items are fully paid for and provided by the tour operator - each at a profit over their cost ... I'm different. These are biker trips. You get a great trip planned, routing through the most spectacular scenery in America, with an experienced Road Captain....and your trip immortalized on Muthuh's Website! You belly-up and pay for most of your own expenses. You get an economical trip at whatever level of expense you want along the way. All you need to do is come along with us and enjoy the trip - we've planned it to be a most excellent adventure!... Far more information is provided on www.RidesOfaLifetime.com, but generally, we cover the haul of your bike out west, accommodations, some meals, a chase truck and second guide/driver, and then your bike hauled back East.
Best of all, you do none of the trip planning - just hook up with us and follow the taillights. No maps, no wrong turns, no missing the good shit. Plans may change in mid-stream, but I'll deal with 'em. You just enjoy a ride that you'd otherwise maybe never go on.
What's it cost? ... well, you pay all of your own expenses on the trip, so I am not marking up the costs and stealing your money. Each tour is about 2 weeks, and covers accommodations and guiding fee, the expense of the haul and chase truck, and some meals. These trips sometimes takes months to research and plan for, including detailed GPS routing so we optimize the best route without risking ending up lost listening to banjo's in the deep woods. Can you do this all yourself? Sure - go ahead. There's no magic to it... just your time and effort.
So, what do you do to join? Take a look at the Rides Of A Lifetime website I've built for all the details at www.RidesOfaLifetime.com. Might be the trip is already full - I won't go on a ride with more than 6-8 other bikes. I'm gonna ask you to tell us a little something about yerself in a pre-booking questionaire, too... Hope to hear from you!
