If you are wanting to take a motorcycle tour of the UK or Europe but without the inconvenience of long term ownership or the prohibitive costs of rental we can provide you an alternative. We can sell you a reliable used touring bike under a guaranteed buy back contract. This will allow you to arrange your own insurance easily and cheaply and we can help with this too. Our bikes are fully serviced and prepared for each trip and are fitted with panniers. We are happy to let you have a motorcycle for a week or 3 months if you desire. If you check our website for prices you will be surprised how affordable this method is.

There are some great places to ride to in Europe and I have been to some of them but this is the ultimate dream. We are riding to the Nordkapp and this blog tells the tale. We are planning and thinking at the moment (done dreaming- it's time to do it) but will be Nordkapp bound in June 2010. I intend to blog each day during the trip itself but for now, its about getting set for the start line.
