The greater Pensacola area is rich with history and beautiful sights to see. The dog days of summer are upon us, and you don’t have to travel around the world to have an adventure. Instead, you can stay nearby and have an adventure of your own.

In fact, you can have one on two wheels.

EagleRider Motorcycles in Pensacola has been open since spring, and if you’ve ever wanted to hop on a Harley just for a day, this is your place.

“There’s so much to do and see in Pensacola,” owner/operator Claire Coleman said. “Pensacola’s got the beach, and then you have all of the different surrounding country roads.”

EagleRider Motorcycles offers nine Harley Davidson models to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. Motorcycle rentals can be daily, weekly or monthly, starting as low as $95 a day.

“A lot of the routes can be achievable within a day from here,” Coleman said.

If you have a little more time to spare, EagleRider Motorcycles offers two self-driving tours that take you through countless historical sites, encompassing more than 4,000 miles and six states, depending on the tour you take. The Coast to Country Tour can take you through coastal Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and then all the way east to Savannah, Ga.

“We’ve been popular with the military in town,” Coleman said. “Whether they’re here for three weeks or three months, it’s nice to see smiles on their faces when they get back.”

However, before you go riding off into the sunset, you have to have a motorcycle endorsement on your driver’s license.

“You just have to get out there and do it,” Coleman said. “Look at your countryside. There’s so much more to see. It’s a beautiful country. You can experience it even better on a motorcycle.”

EagleRider Motorcycles Pensacola is at 3930 North W St., Unit C and is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more information, visit. www.eaglerider.com/pensacola, or call 748-3423.
