British Motorcycle Gear

By Joe Berk

Unless you have visited Oklahoma or you live there, you probably wouldn’t think of Oklahoma as a motorcycling paradise.  But trust me, it is.  And finding the best rides in Oklahoma is easy, thanks to Oklahoma’s Tourism and Recreation Department.  Sue and I are always looking for interesting travel destinations, and as a guy who writes travel pieces for Motorcycle Classics magazine, my antenna goes up when I hear about great roads and great destinations.   Several years ago when I was working for CSC Motorcycles, we attended the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show.  In the vendor display area, Sue found a booth manned by the Oklahoma tourism folks.

One thing led to another, we received a package of travel information that would choke a brontosaurus, and shortly after that we were in Oklahoma.  I have a friend who retired in Tulsa, we visited a bit, and we hit a bunch of great destinations in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and the surrounding areas.  I wrote several blogs about our visit, and several Motorcycle Classics Destinations articles.   These are the blogs:

But even with the above, we barely scratched the surface of what Oklahoma offers.   The materials the good folks in Oklahoma mailed to us included the Oklahoma Motorcycle Guide.   It suggests several rides, complete with maps and two or three pages on each ride.  The Oklahoma Motorcycle Guide is impressive.

Imagine that:  One of our states issuing a motorcycle travel guide!   More good news?  It’s free, the latest version includes even more rides than does the version I received several years ago, and you can download it immediately at this link:  Oklahoma Motorcycle Guide Free Download

Trust me on this:  If you’ve been looking for your good next place to ride, Oklahoma needs to be on your list.
