In 1952, a young man named Ernesto and his friend hopped on that old Norton La Poderosa and embarked on an extraordinary journey. What they never imagined was that the moment they turned the engine on, the world would change because of it.
 
Of course, not everyone’s journey can be so monumental, nor is every trip worth writing home about. But even if the world doesn’t change, you know your life will be different—especially when you’re riding your own “steed.” The experience of motorcycling is truly unique. Just like in the movie Avatar, when you fire up the engine, it’s as if you’ve activated a bond with your bike. As you shift gears and set off, breathtaking scenery surrounds you without barriers, and the rumble of the engine becomes music to your ears. It gives you more chances to merge with the world around you and more time for self-reflection. No wonder so many ancient poems were inspired on horseback—and now, you can find inspiration on a motorcycle too.

This time, we’re taking you to ride in the United States. Though it’s the country that once brought down Ernesto “Che” Guevara, there’s no denying that America is indeed the birthplace of motorcycle culture. Harley-Davidson, founded in 1903, has led motorcycle trends for generations and remains the dream brand for riders to this day. Riding a motorcycle in the U.S. means you don’t have to worry much about pedestrians or bicycles popping out from the roadside, nor do you need to constantly dodge aggressive gravel trucks. What you’ll encounter on the road isn’t just small joys of biking, but grand, awe-inspiring landscapes. Unless you’ve ridden these roads yourself, it’s hard to imagine just how vast this continent is—the weather a hundred miles away can be instantly predicted, and as the horizon recedes, so does the road.

Straddle a motorcycle, ride the world, and chase the clouds
In the past, riding a motorcycle in the U.S. might have seemed like a far-fetched fantasy. But now, it’s suddenly become quite easy, thanks to EagleRider—the largest motorcycle rental company in the U.S.—entering the Taiwanese market last year through the agency of Qiaoxing Travel. Now, as long as you arrange the rental through a travel agency, you can basically go anytime. EagleRider has over 60 rental locations across the U.S., including multiple spots in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago. In addition to Harley-Davidson, their fleet also includes a full range of models from other brands such as BMW, Triumph, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Indian Chief.

Riders dreaming of hitting the road have several options: The simplest is to rent just a motorcycle and a GPS, just like renting a car abroad. This option offers the most freedom—you can ride however you like—but it’s best to have a plan and familiarize yourself with the road and bike conditions beforehand. If you’re not sure where to go in the U.S., you can also book a pre-arranged route through Qiaoxing Travel, such as the legendary Route 66 or the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. With this option, the route info is already loaded into the GPS, and nightly accommodations are all booked. This way, you get the thrill of riding freely without spending too much energy on the details.

The final option is to join a guided motorcycle tour organized by EagleRider through a travel agency. These tours have fixed departure dates, and participants often come from all over the world, offering a great chance to connect and exchange experiences with riders from different countries.Group tours not only include accommodations along the way, but also cover all fuel costs and national park entry fees. Moreover, there are professional guides as well as support vehicles accompanying the group throughout, ensuring maximum safety and eliminating worries about bike maintenance.
