Links

One of our missions at Emmaus MotoTours is to connect riders with the wider Adventure Bike community and to other businesses that share our goal of bringing valued resources to our clients. These links are ADV businesses that we feel help accomplish this goal, many of whom we have had direct experience with, and therefore feel comfortable recommending them to our visitors.

Pennsylvania Endless Mountains Rally GPS Files

Here are the GPS (GPX) files for the 2024 Pa Endless Mountains Rally on June 7-9, 2024 based at Hills Creek State Park near Mansfield, Pa. This event is NOT an event put on by Emmaus MotoTours but I am using the website of my tour company to facilitate the downloading of these GPS files. Please check back here during the week before the event to download the final versions of the files since I will be proofing the routes just prior to this. To download merely right click on the buttons below then choose “save link as”. Then save the file to your computer or GPS device. 4-19-2024

See you all in June!

HEavy Enduro Motorcycle Training

So you have bought an Adventure Motorcycle and now you would like to begin riding it off the blacktop but you have little experience riding big bikes in the dirt. You need some help learning but there are no training facilities in the Midwest…until now. Andy Janik of HEavy Enduro has begun a program at The Cliffs in Marseilles, IL. Andy is a great guy and not only knows how to ride but is very skilled and patient with teaching.

For info on his training program, go to Andy’s web page below.

Riders Share Motorcycle Rentals

Riders Share is an interesting service I came across recently. It is basically and Air B and B for motorcycles. People list their personal motorcycles with the site and rent them to people who want to ride in their area. I will be renting with them in December when I have a speaking engagement in San Diego.

Check them out. This may also be a good option if you are planning on doing one of our tours and need to rent a bike.

Viking Bags

I was contacted in January of 2024 by Alex from Viking Bags asking me to include their link on our website. I have not yet had experience with Viking so far but Alex has generously offered to send me their Viking Apex ADV Touring Tank Bag with Hydration Pack to try. Once the winter decides to leave us I will be giving the bag a try on my R 1200 GS and will post a review here.
