What is old style Touring ?
First off, I don't have anything against the big motorcycle tour companies,if you've got the money and don't want to bother with reservations and bike rental, then they offer you a good deal.
On the other hand if your like me, I think I can take a few minutes and a few phone calls and make my own reservations and if need be set up a rental bike reservation, all of my life money has been hard to come by, so I became thrifty, and that is the way that we decided we would make Barebones MC tours, you see we will be more than glad to help you by giving you a tour packet that includes all information on where to make your reservations for each of the tours that we will be offering as well as where when and how of the tour once you have made your reservation with us, also we provide for those who wish to rent a bike contact numbers to make reservations, doing it yourself saves you money.
Now I like to camp out whenever I can, most times we'll eat breakfast at a restaurant, lunch along the way, and supper in camp, but there is always times when this can change due to weather or circumstances.
We don't pamper you(,I never knew a real biker that wanted to be pampered),but we will be as helpful as possible,and make sure that you get the most value for your money, and if you can find a better deal or price .....Take it.
We offer a 10 day tour of 2000 miles,and the funny thing is many of the places you'll see are the same ones you would see with the big Tour companies, but ours at a much reduced price, and many places that the big tour companies don't take you to, to us this is not big business, but rather big time fun, that's why we never have more than 8 spots open for our tours, and 2 tour guides that have traveled this country and really know it .
well here let me just show you one example from a popular website, this is for a 8 day tour of 1000 miles.There are many more similar examples, but after you check them out I want you to check Barebones MC Tours, I think you;ll start to understand why we offer the best deal going.

Now I don't know about you, but I bought a motorcycle to enjoy the freedom that comes from doing my own thing, that independent spirit, making my own decisions, taking life each day as it is thrown at me, and working through it, I guess I like to do my own thinking.
lets do a hypothetical breakdown for one person lets say they (the tour company) spend $60.00 a day for lodging X 8 days = $480.00 mostly bed and breakfast places, with a few hotel/motels that offer free continental breakfast (cereal, toast, muffins, fruit, sweet rolls with coffee, juice, or milk ) now for some people that would be a fine breakfast, for others they would leave feeling hungry a few miles down the road, with Barebones MC Tours you pick the restaurant and style of lodging of your choice and price range.
Usually lunch is provided by you, as a snack stop along the way at your cost, with the tour companys.
With Barebones MC Tours we believe since you pay for it you should choose what and where you eat lunch.
Now we come to Motorcycle rental about $80.00 a day X 8 = $640.00 unlimited mileage (your paying for the gas)
Next is your evening meal they usually set a limit of around $12.00 for a meal X 8 = $96.00, With Barebones MC Tours you pick how much you want to spend for your meals and what you eat.
OK lets see where we stand .......$480.00 for lodging
$640.00 motorcycle rental
$96.00 for evening meal
$1,216.00 Total expense to tour company
$ 883.00 your paying for guide service for one person for 8 days and 1000 mile trip.
With us its 10 days and a 2000 mile trip for $500.00 (its not rocket science simple math that's all)

I guess it all boils down to we are not politically correct, we are old style Bikers that love our country and touring through the many beautiful places there are to see, now there is a lot of ways to do this, but the cheapest way to do it especially during these economic times is on a Motorcycle, and the Barebones MC Tours will show you how to have the time of your life, with out spending a lifetime paying for it.
Motorcycle Touring its in our blood and that is why we decided to make this as affordable as we could, not to make a full time living from it but to make it possible for those of you who don't own $60,000 bikes and 5 figure incomes to have a place where you could meet with others like yourself and be able to enjoy your vacation without selling the house to pay for it, after all isn't that the old style Biker way ?.
Now just think about it you got a bike and you've done the poker runs, the bike rallies and the bar hopping, and I'm sure you had fun but can you just once let your imagination go let yourself dream, see if you cant picture yourself in any one of the places I've talked about, it is within your grasp and Barebones MC Tours will make it as affordable as it is possible, if you have a motorcycle and a sleeping bag, a small tent, you have almost everything needed to make those long distance touring dreams come true...but there is one ingredient still missing and it is the most important.....That burning desire to do the one thing that you always thought in the back of your head you would love to do.
Now weather you choose to tour with us or another tour company is a matter of choice.....But I will guarantee you, you will never regret one day of motorcycle touring, being out on the open road and exploring this great country, life is a very precious and fragile thing one day were babies the next day we look in the mirror and can't believe the old man that is looking back at us......"Life is so brief-and time is a thief " don't let time steal your dream.
For those who dare to dream "Barebones MC Tours" started.
