Ride on a Budget with Your Used Harley-Davidson® Touring Motorcycle

If you’re planning a long-distance road trip, you may be considering your budget. After all, between fuel, food, and shelter, your expenses can rack up—not to mention the ones you may not even realize. You already made a budget-conscious decision to buy a used Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle, but how can you stretch your dollar out more? Mission City Indian Motorcycle® is happy to help come up with solutions. We offer advice to those seeking to cut costs so that they can fully enjoy their riding experience.

Shelter

While traveling, you may be tempted to stay in hotels throughout your journey. However, this may not be financially feasible if you have a strict budget. One option is to pack a sleeping bag and camp. Campsite fees are often much less than hotels and easy to pull up to in your used Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle.

Another option is finding a hostel. It’s a fun and more comfortable way (rather than camping) where you can meet new people while saving some money too. 

Lastly, if you have friends or family along your route, ask to spend the night at their place! You don’t need to spend any money in this situation, aside from owing them later down the road.

Food

Another temptation you can come across on your adventure is fast food or restaurants. They’re easy to find but can empty your wallet over time. That’s why it’s important to pack essential foods that you can cook or can last a while. However, there are places that offer buffets for a flat fee. You can grab an assortment of foods there.

Fuel

The longer the road trip, the more times you’ll have to refuel your used Harley touring motorcycle. Gas prices can be fairly high depending on the area, so it’s a good idea to thoroughly plan your route to pick the way that’s most cost-effective. You can also download apps that help you identify nearby gas stations with low prices. Lastly, while it’s good to pack essentials, don’t overdo it. More cargo weighs your bike down, which eats up more fuel in the long run.
