We tour on our THorn Adventure. It is the main reason we brought her. We spent 2 month in South and West Australia last year and on the 14th April 2006 we fly to Marseille for a 3 month tour , flying out of Birmingham UK on the 11th July. We go fully self contained, camping and cooking our own meals. As far as we are conserned a tandem is the only way for a couple to tour. As you can chat, get to the top and bottom of hills together, arrive at your destination together etc. Sue would not tour on singles full stop the end.
We love it. Touring is the reason we ride bikes.
Cheers Brian & Sue
