Motorcycle travel and tours through Canada and around the world. Since beginning our publishing journey back in 1980 Canadian Biker contributors have ridden many roads through many regions across Canada (and in some cases, around the world) for motorcycle tours, tests and press events. The latter often feature dramatic roads and inspiring scenery chosen to highlight a motorcycle in its intended environs.
Unfortunately, the time allowed for savouring the local flavour is slim indeed. Time is money and another wave are journalist are knocking on the door. That being said, many slower miles are spent enjoying the great motorcycle roads of Canada and the US. Below are some examples of our Canadian motorcycle travel and touring stories from the past 10 years. There is a definite lean into western Canada where so many riders come to enjoy the twisty mountain roads but we have ridden locales from the very eastern to the very western and from the far north and south across the border into the US.
Is there a favourite? Well, sometimes that favourite is whatever road you are on.
