MotoVentures Tours: Your Ticket for Fun Motorcycle Riding Adventures
MotoVentures offers five distinctly different tour options:
1) Pre-Tour Riding Clinics
2) California Day Rides
3) Southern California Off-Road and Dual Sport Tours
4) Arizona Dual Sport Tours
5) Baja Off-Road Motorcycle Tours
MotoVentures offers off-road dirt bike tours and dual sport motorcycle tours in Southern California, Arizona, and Baja California (BC) Mexico. Every MotoVentures tour offers an optional Pre-Tour Riding Clinic before the tour to develop or sharpen your riding skills, give you a chance to practice off-road motorcycle riding and prepare for your exciting, motorcycle adventure tour. There is a great motorcycle tour option for almost every rider, from novices to experts, adults and kids, or business groups and organizations. We will provide everything you need or if you prefer you may bring your own bike and riding gear.
On a MotoVentures Southern California or Arizona Dual Sport Tour you will ride in the best locations during the best times of the year. Our off-road and dual sport bike tour routes vary depending on the season. In the winter, we'll follow routes primarily in the lower and warmer elevations of the desert, while in the summer we'll follow routes primarily in the higher and cooler elevations of the mountains. In spring and fall, we can ride through both the mountains and the deserts. Each day we'll start off with a hearty breakfast then mid-day enjoy a delicious lunch along the way. At the end of the trail each day, just kick off your boots, take a refreshing shower in your comfortable hotel room then enjoy dinner while watching a spectacular sunset and recapping the day's events with new found friends. Following a good night’s rest, we'll be off again on fun new routes to another great destination.
Whatever motorcycle adventure tour you are looking for from off-road riding in Southern California to dual sport tours in California, Arizona or Baja California, MotoVentures has a tour for you. Join us for what will be one the most rewarding off-road adventures of your life. The ride may eventually end, but the memories will stay with you forever, and if you're like most of our customers you'll want to come back for more.
MotoVentures Tour Options and Costs:
1) Pre-Tour Riding Clinic:
Cost: Our bike: $285 per day Your bike: $180 per day
We found attending this clinic to be one of the best ways to ensure a successful off- road or dual sport tour. If you don't ride regularly or haven't ridden off-road in a long time you should consider taking this clinic before your tour. The clinic consists of a full day of riding at our private 350-acre Southern California Rider Training Center or an appropriate location near the start of the tour. This will give you the opportunity to sharpen your riding skills, warm-up the body, and familiarize yourself with the bike, riding gear and equipment required for the tour. We will get a chance to know each other, address any special needs in a relaxed atmosphere, and have fun too!
