Long distance motorcycle rides offer rewards and challenges. I recently returned from a 5,100-mile round trip ride from Dallas to Quebec with two friends. We witnessed some beautiful sights in the 14 states we visited—and ran into torrential rain. Long rides let us experience the highs and lows of motorcycling and create lasting memories.
