Can anyone ever have enough motorcycle friends? We don’t think so.
There’s nothing like traveling by motorcycle to form a bond between folks who began a trip as complete strangers, and by the end of the journey have a slew of inside jokes, “You had to be there” stories, and are making plans for their next destination together. This is a huge reason why Phil Freeman started this business: he loves the camaraderie.
The MotoQuest Riding Buddy Matchmaking Program
(We might need a catchier name before we can trademark it.)
It often starts with a solo rider registering for one of our tours and opting for the shared occupancy option, may not have any friends who can join them on this trip, but doesn’t let that stop them. Eventually, another solo rider in a similar position does likewise. We pair them up in our lodging arrangements and let the magic happen on the road.
From time to time, we have solo guests who would like to be matched up with a roommate for upcoming adventures, but no opportunities present themselves. That’s why we have the MotoQuest Rider Board. We’ve been including it at the bottom of our newsletters, so if you’re the sort who is also inclined toward this experience/friendship experiment, make sure to keep an eye out for these handcrafted masterpieces of marketing.
This week, we’re dedicating the whole newsletter to the rider board for 2021 Alaska guided itineraries. Read on, good friend. Read on.
