Hi all.

I run TRO.bike and our annual "big commercial limited avail" midwestern United States group motorcycle tour is approaching in May.

If it doesn't book solid, I'll be cancelling the entire event for the first time in years.

At any rate, the details are on my website. It's our "Trip Sevens" tour (7 riders, 7 states, 7 days) and it is EPIC.

More info and signup form, etc ...

I bought this bike in 2018 with 500 miles on it. I'm now approaching the 70k mark.

Yikes! A tad pricey. Is that just accommodations and trip leading? Yeah, for 7 days, I�d likely spend as much doing it solo.

I�m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!

It is.

We cover our butts, insurance wise but that's actually on the cheap.

Lodging is a thing. We make it pretty lavish where we can. That part tends to be manic.

Sweep rider does all the legwork food wise in remote areas, so when our 250 ~ 350 daily miles land, libations aren't a post-dinner task.

It's ... work. FUN work. But work.

Honestly, the price is still in estimation territory. Might be less. Might be more.

No matter. Whatever ya say on cost, I take pride in what this tour is and for anyone who takes the risk and drops the coin, I can back it up.
