Fantasy Road Tours™ is the ultimate indulgent experience for the passionate, discerning motorcyclist™,
and brings the all-inclusive cruise experience to motorcycle tours. We cater to the discriminating rider, and our
commitment is to provide our clients with VIP treatment while
Riding First Class.
The world moves at a different pace today than it once did. Many now live by the credo "work hard,
play hard." Our clientele are successful men and women who place a great deal of value on |

their time because they don't have a lot of it. Their
preference is to ride the best roads, eat at the finest restaurants, and enjoy every moment.
Yes, there is a time and a place for planning one's own trip: if you have the time to experiment,
pick up three or four good quality area books, read them, investigate what is happening where,
take a consensus on the best routes to take, then go and take your chances of having a satisfying trip.
More common are tales of woe and frustration regarding the difficulty of the planning process.
At Fantasy Road Tours, our business is devoted to doing all the leg work and in presenting the best
that America has to offer. We've spent many hours, dollars (and miles!) researching the best roads and the
most interesting and scenic routes. Most importantly, our accommodations and dining are unparalleled, providing
your exceptional Black Leather/Black Tie Affair experience.
Every Black Leather/Black Tie Affair is individualized, and has it's own unique character. This means that generally,
one or two nights per tour we will be dining in more upscale restaurants that will really emphasize, and sometimes
require, a jacket to be worn. This is our definition of the "Black Tie" portion of your Black Leather/Black Tie Affair.
The remaining evenings we will still be dining in the best possible restaurants, with the most unique character, but
regardless of whether we eat in Black Tie or Black Leather, we endeavor to make sure you have the most indulgent
experience possible, not just every evening, but throughout the entire tour.
You must be in the departure city by early afternoon of the date listed as the arrival date.
When you arrive at the airport, your VIP vacation begins. You will be met by a Fantasy Road
Tours representative, who will take care of your luggage, and direct you to your private transportation.
Your Fantasy Road Tours representative will give you a detailed overview of
the itinerary for the next several days. That afternoon will be dedicated to introducing you to
your bike, after which we will have our Introductory Dinner at the hotel.
We leave in the morning. (First-night accommodations and welcome dinner/reception are also included.)
Of course, and we can assist you in shipping your bike out or by recommending a shipper to you.
We only ask that your motorcycle be in good and current repair and that safety, exhaust, and noise
ordinances be complied with.

Since we will frequently be riding through areas that don't have any amenities, such as gas or food, and
because we want to always be available to assist you if you need anything along the way, we do require
you stay with the group. This is for your safety, as well as |
your comfort. If you have
problems with your bike, or some other emergency, our support vehicle will be there to assist you immediately, and,
if need be, you can have your bike swapped and be back on the road in no time. Plus, if we were to
lose any rider, it can create problems for the entire group. Therefore, we respectfully insist
that you stay with the group.
These are riding tours, so we do cover some ground. On average, we will cover about 200 miles of breathtaking
scenery each day. However, our longest touring days can be up to 250-300 miles. It's a good idea to make sure
you are physically up to covering this much ground beforehand - you won't want to miss out on the spectacular
scenery we have in store. And for those of you who just can't get enough of the open road, we will
occasionally have optional moonlight night rides available.
We keep our tours to no more than twelve bikes, plus our staff. By having a smaller group size, we're
better able to give you the experience you deserve. This is also the perfect setting to get to know
the other riders.
Single rider ("Solo Tour") rates are listed first for each tour. This entitles you to a private room
for the duration of your trip. Registering for the Double Tour means that two people will share a
bike and a room. The Combo Tour price is for two single riders (each person has his or her own bike)
who share a room.
We aim to provide only the highest quality restaurants and accommodations along our route. Although,
not every location has four-star restaurants and hotels, we aim to provide a first-class experience
so that you'll always have something to write home about! In some cases, we will have the entire
establishment to ourselves. When you tour with us, you can be confident that your accommodations
will be unique, your meals distinctive, and your entire experience pleasant and
highly memorable.
We plan our tours to take advantage of the best weather any one destination has to offer. However,
even the weathermen get it wrong sometimes. So, we recommend you plan your riding attire such that
you could be comfortable even if the predicted temperature varies by 20-30 degrees. We recommend
dressing in layers for optimal comfort. And because we will be riding regardless of weather
conditions, rain gear, sunscreen, and other protective gear are also recommended.
Riders should be skilled in handling the size motorcycle rented and comfortable in maintaining speed
limits as high as 75 miles an hour. Although it will be rare that we are on parkways and traveling at
these speeds, we will on occasion be opening the throttle. The roads are no place to learn to ride.
You should be comfortable in riding in a group setting and in staggered cadence. Also, you will be
riding for long distances for a number of days in succession. If you haven't done this before, call
us so that we can |

give you some tips on how to prepare.
Fantasy Road Tours emphasizes safety at every turn. Only riders with adequate skill may
participate. All participants should be amply qualified to ride, such that your co-riders may
feel safe and not fear the unexpected while riding with you. A session on group riding and
protocol will be provided before the tour.
Motorcycle rental, gear, fuel, lodging, all meals, tolls, park and private property entrance fees,
group tours, and group side stops are included in your tour fee.
Incidentals, spending money, side trips on your own, alcoholic beverages at day's end, massages, etc.
Reminder: Please ensure that all relevant insurance coverages are in effect and will not expire
during the trip. (Medical and dental insurance is not provided. Also, in some locations, motorcycle insurance is not available,
but is provided whenever possible.)
Bring a great attitude! We will provide everything else. Of course, if you have your own helmet and gear, you're
encouraged to bring it. Otherwise, we will provide any appropriate gear you need, including jacket, pants, and rain suit.
Additionally, we will be enjoying 4-star accommodations and restaurants, some of which are "jacket required".
Please bring appropriately formal wear for such occasions. Also be sure to bring comfortable casual clothing
to change into from your "biker gear" at the end of the day. Please limit your luggage to two bags per person,
plus your riding clothes. Our Support Vehicle
will transport your luggage throughout the tour. For those unforgettable vistas, be sure to bring your camera!
Certain tours have other requirements; specific information is posted with each ride's information.
Click here for Packing Checklist.
Schedule your return travel for mid-day or later, the day after the tour, to allow for rental bike return. A Fantasy Road
Tours representative will personally transport you and your luggage to the airport.
Get ready for one of life's great experiences. For starters, we recommend that you bring a camera,
film, cell phone, bathing suit, sunglasses, and sunscreen. (Refer to Packing Checklist above). As your tour date approaches, we will
provide you with more information on how to prepare and what to bring. Clear your mind before you
leave the plane. Exhale and leave it all behind. You're about to embark on a magnificent journey
with new friends. We look forward to meeting you and serving you.
The only detail you have to concern yourself with, is deciding which of Fantasy Road Tours'
Black Leather/Black Tie Affairs™ you want to ride. Leave the rest up to us. For details about our tours and tour procedures, please
RSVP. If you still have
questions, please call a Fantasy Road Tours representative at 801-372-7327.
