What could be better then a couple motorcycles and 2 days in the middle of the week?

A road trip on the Honda 750 Shadow and the Yamaha V Star 950 were the choices for this couple. They traveled along the Mississippi River south to Winona, Minnesota. This is a favorite trip for many riders on any week-end, the middle of the week is a good time to avoid the crowds. My rental riders were from out of town and they really enjoyed their time on the motorcycles in Minnesota.

Fly like an Eagle...Rent an Adventure on a Motorcycle

 I carry my camera with me at all times, that is how I captured a snapshot of a Bald Eagle as it soared above the trees...Appropriate for my EagleRider blogsite.

 I can supply the motorcycle to supply your adventure. 

 My red 2011 BMW R1200 GS spent it's last week in the rental fleet. The replacement is a brand new 2013  BMW R1200 GS. It is the Rally Edition, with striking white body work and a brilliant red frame. Check it out!

A bit of Broasted Chicken for lunch on the road.

Minneapolis Eaglerider Motorcycle Riding / June 17th - 23rd in Review

Despite a few rain clouds hanging over Minneapolis this week the motorcycle riding was good. Having a good set of rain gear is what all riders should carry with them. Had a couple good rides in the rain this week. 

 A late night stop at a Perkins Restaurant is a good plan while on the road.

 A Father and Son trip on the Honda Shadow 750 and the Yamaha 950 V Star was an adventure.

They traveled up to Duluth on Lake Superior, then took back roads back home. They had a bit of rain on the way back that made their trip  a challenge. They were all smiles as they told me the story.

 On the road...

 The Harley Davidson Road King is always a favorite.

 The 2 Honda Goldwings were back from their rides.

 Three of the Honda motorcycles all back from their trips.

Can't beat a good rainbow shot after all the riding and weather this week...

Ride On!

The English riders are back after exploring Minnesota on the bikes. They look to have had a great trip.

 Couple from Italy were all smiles after 14 days on an EagleRider motorcycle. They traveled across Upper Michigan into Canada. They visited Kenora, Ontario on the Canadian side of Lake of the Woods before heading back south to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

This was a bit of an International week. It is always interesting listening to their stories of the trips and be a part of the memories that they will have of the adventure.

 Heading out for an adventure on a Harley and the Honda Shadow.

The best part of my job is to help Motorcyclists get on the road for a trip or just a day of riding. A common theme is the excitement of their adventure and to be able to ride motorcycles that they may not have had a chance to do otherwise.

Ride On!!

6 days on Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

Exploring Minnesota for 2 couples from England.

 Leaving Hopkins EagleRider they headed north to Brainerd, Minnesota. Spent the night along the Mississippi River. Stayed in Grand Rapids a night, then rode across Minnesota toward Grand Marais. They stayed a night in Grand Marais, while in that area they took a scenic ride up the Gun Flint Trail Highway. With fog lining the shores of Lake Superior they departed Grand Marais and rode south to Duluth and spent the night along the Harbor near the Lake. The next morning the were greeted to a thick wet fog as they rode up the long highway climb south towards Minneapolis and our Hopkins EagleRider shop.

This was another EagleRider Motorcycle vacation that enabled a group of adventurers to create memories that they will cherish till their next trip...I was glad to be a part of their journey.
