2026 Grand Tour General Discussion

[RedShift]

Hello, and thank you for creating yet another tour that encourages me (us) to go where we have no other reason to travel to.

I just signed up. I will once again ride my '06 Suzuki WeeStrom, as offered in my registration. But I looked at my reflection in the mirror and realized I am still not getting any younger.

I'm actively looking to add to my garage with a BMW R1250RT. If successful, is there any reason why I can't switch rides and use my placard for both bikes?

Apart from the interest factor of what my primary ride is, any issue with using whatever bike we have?

Ride safely everyone.

There has only been a rule against bike switching in the 8/10/12 hour single day rallies. It's always been ok in Grand Tours. My record is 5 different bikes in one GT.

There is nothing that precludes you from riding multiple bikes. We have even had riders that rent bikes on vacation to snag sites in Hawaii and in Europe. The idea here is the ride, not the bike you are riding. As long as you take your rally card on the trip, and capture qualifying pics, you will be just fine,

Safe travels,

Steven
