What is DamTour . . .
It is 20 "Dam" good places to ride your motorcycle. Twenty exciting self-guided motorcycle rides to dams in the western US states and Canada. Each year DamTour features 16- beautiful, motorcycle-friendly, riding destinations in Oregon and Washington (8 each), and a finisher of either of those states earns the state specific bar to add to their participation pin. To add to this great adventure, and making it a full Twenty "Dam" Good Places to Ride, we offer four bonus dams located in other selected states (and sometimes Canada) that will give you an experience of a lifetime. As you ride to these dams, between March 1st and September 30th you will discover roads, places, scenery and adventure that 99 percent of your peers will never experience.
You make this "your own" life experience whether you ride alone, or with some friends. Enjoy riding to the “dam” destinations at your own pace. You have "7 fun filled months" or about 214 days to plan your route, research the area and dams and enjoy riding to the dam destinations of your choice, at your own pace, throughout the season. While many of us have the dreaded "MBS" (multi-bike syndrome) we only list one bike on the rankings table, so pick your favorite to register with. All bikes are welcome, whether you ride a BMW, Harley, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, sport bikes, cruisers, trike … any bike.
Just Ride!
Philosophers for centuries have said . . .
"It's the journey, not the destination"
. . . that makes travel so exciting. This is even more true when the journey takes place from the saddle of your favorite motorcycle. The dams are simply an end to the means and are justified. The journey to these dams almost always takes us on the road less traveled. Almost always lead to the fork in the road to which Yogi Berra referred. And we almost always take it.
Don't be like the average biker and let your bike rot in the garage.
