RE: Definition of Touring style riding?
125 miles is a bit short but none the less could be touring. One normally thinks of touring as very long distance. Like this past june/july. 22 of us toured from Florida to Billings Montana and back so we certainly toured on touring bikes. Except for the one sportster who toured on a non touring bike. Better her than me.

I’m leaving on a 10 day, 4,600 mile trip on Thursday and I would call that doing a little touring.
I’ve read on these forums of guys complaining of bad head buffeting and wobbling when going over 100mph on batwing equipped bikes, that’s called high speed touring.

RE: Definition of Touring style riding?
I am fairly new to Harley's and "Touring". I have now ridden UT<CA<NV<NM<CO<OR<WA & parts of Canada... When ever I think I am on a long ride, I usually stop to eat somewhere and meet up with someone on a Goldwing - I stop asking the question "So, how long is your ride this time" Those folks TOUR!!!!!!! I found out early, what I think is a long ride is just a "warm up for them"
Bottom line,,,, A ride, trip or Tour is what YOU make it - thats all that matters
In my little world - when someone talks about a touring bike - I am thinking bigger, bags, pack and the such... We rode a WG for two years and rode/toured CA/OR/WA and Vancouver. I called it a tour, but thats me talking...????
