I guess that for "touring" in groups that the trailering thing is ok; for short term rides a distance away, I've trucked the Bimota; it can cut down on the "hassles" but as far as singular touring or "sport" touring, riding is the way to go. Two-thirds of the enjoyment is the journey and the things that happen: the weather you encounter and overcome, the mechanical stuff and the overcoming of obstacles, along with the people you meet and otherwise wouldn't have.

Most of the most memorable tours I've taken have nothing to do with the roads or scenery, they have to do with overcoming a problem, achieving a goal, or meeting some truly great people I hadn't planned to meet.

Otherwise, it's just another ride.
