RnR Motorcycle Riders

Vernon Hills, IL

The focus of the group to ride with other motorcycle enthusiasts. Some of the rides will be highway based, while others may be long stretches of low traffic roads where we can take in the scenery and natural environment. Rides will be anywhere from 25 to 75 miles and some rides will extend a bit further. Riders of all types are welcome.

Bottom line is you must know how to safely operate a motorcycle. We ride with streetbikes, cruisers, dirt bikes and others.

Experienced Riders may push a little faster, but we will all encourage safe riding practice and skills. Members will be given as much notice as possible for rides. There will be some short notices due to our wonderful Midwest weather restrictions.

We also strongly encourage all RnR riders with sport bikes to also join our companion group RTRC at:

https://www.meetup.com/RTRChicago/

RTRC is a road and track group for sport bike enthusiasts, where you have an opportunity to really open it up on the track safely. RTRC rides with track groups STT and Motovid and you'll get the chance to not just watch some awesome motorcycle racing, but also participate in it! It's a great adrenaline rush and release!

Two groups means twice as many opportunities for fun rides! Our event organizers in both groups know our way around the tri-state area. See all that our states have to offer, and make lots of new friends in the process!

Welcome aboard, and ride safe always!
