The Motorcycle Rental Revolution: Top Reasons to Rent and Ride

Even if you own a bike, there are many reasons to consider renting a motorcycle. Here are the top reasons spring for a motorcycle rental.

Ride whenever you want - without the hassle. That's the idea behind renting a motorcycle at Riders Share. Whether you're a seasoned rider, a moto-enthusiast who has been temporarily out of the game, or anything in-between, renting a motorcycle offers an easy and inexpensive way to go riding. Here are some reasons why you might want to opt for a motorcycle rental, whether you currently own a bike or not.

Reasons to Rent if You Don't Currently Own a Motorcycle:

You are away from home.
Can you name a better way to make your trip more interesting? I can’t! If you are traveling for work or family holidays or for vacation, you can make any trip more fun by renting a motorcycle.

You're an ex-rider.
You used to ride, but life happens. So, you strayed away from the thrill of two wheels. Now, you're thinking that it's time to get back on the bike to ride the open road. Renting a motorcycle is a perfect way to reacquaint yourself with motorcycling and regain your riding confidence without having to do any of the work required to find the perfect bike to buy.

Maintenance, registration, and insurance aren't your thing.
Owning a motorcycle comes with its fair share of responsibilities, such as regular maintenance, trips to the dealer, keeping it clean, insurance, and registration. If your busy schedule doesn't permit you to keep up with all of these ownership hassles, opting for a motorcycle rental allows you to skip all of the non-riding, and non-fun parts of owning a motorcycle.

Parking or winter storage is a hassle.
If you are an apartment dweller in a big city, finding secure parking for a motorcycle can be a significant challenge and expensive. By choosing a motorcycle rental, you can ride without the added stress and cost of finding secure overnight or off-season parking for a shiny new motorcycle. You will never have to worry about someone knocking over your bike while trying to parallel park their car or having it covered in snow.

Occasional riders unite.
Maybe you enjoy motorcycles but don't ride often enough to justify the cost and responsibility of bike ownership. Renting a motorcycle offers an affordable alternative that allows you to ride whenever you want without the commitment and expenses tied to owning a bike. Plus, you can rent a different motorcycle everytime. It's always fun to ride something new, right?

So, no motorcycle, no problem. Renting a motorcycle is the easiest and fastest way to get back on a bike.

But, if you already own a motorcycle, there are still many reasons to rent a bike.

Reasons to Rent if You Already Own a Motorcycle:

You're traveling.
We all know that there's nothing quite like the adventure of exploring new places on two wheels. Whether you're on vacation or just traveling for work, an easy motorcycle rental gives you the flexibility to ride roads you wouldn't normally have the opportunity to ride and see the local sights as only a motorcyclist can. You can be on a bike wherever you are for as little or as long as you want.

Your bike is in for service.
Just because your trusty moto-steed is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or repairs, it doesn't mean you have to miss out on that planned ride with your riding buddies or that once-a-year motorcycle event that you have always wanted to go to. Opting for a motorcycle rental means you can still partake in the fun.

Interesting motorcycle events are calling your name.
Maybe there's a motorcycle event that’s more than a day-ride away that you'd love to attend, but the thought of the time-consuming, long ride there is not so appealing. With a motorcycle rental, you can fly to your destination and rent a bike locally, avoiding the long, iron-butt, ride.

You're thinking of buying a new motorcycle.
If you're in the market for a new bike, renting the motorcycle that you're considering provides an excellent opportunity for an extended test ride. Imagine riding your dream bike for an entire day or even a week. A motorcycle rental allows you to get the real feel for the motorcycle you want before committing you hard earned money at the dealership. Buy the bike you want without surprises.

So, even if you own a bike, renting a motorcycle from time to time is an easy way to get more miles in.

Whether you're a motorcycle owner or not, the idea of a motorcycle rental is a really cool thing to consider. Ride the bike you want, wherever you want, without any long-term commitments. If you have a motorcycle license, there's nothing in your way to get in a motorcycle ride. So, the next time you feel the call of the road - the why we ride - just answer it by renting a motorcycle.

There's now no excuse to be off two-wheels. Never Stop Riding. Rent a Bike.
