How fast do we go?
If you want to go fast, you're on the wrong tour. These tours are designed to see places, not tarmac. The atmosphere on the tours is friendly and laid back, and the pace is leisurely.
What kind of clothing should I bring?
Spring and Autumn in Spain can be wet at times, so be prepared. But typically we will enjoy lots of sunshine.
What happens if I get left behind?
If in the unlikely event you lose contact with the group, you can make your own way to the next scheduled stop (the location will be supplied to you at the beginning of each day) or you can contact the guide by telephone (the numbers will be supplied to you at the outset of the tour).
Where will you meet me?
Your guide will meet you at a pre-designated point; usually at the ferry terminal.
How long will I ride each day?
Distances vary each day. On more distant tours we will cover a fair amount of ground in order to reach our destination. Once we are well into the tour, we try to avoid motorways as much as possible, and use minor roads that are fantastic for biking. Typically we would ride for two to four hours a day.
Is my deposit safe
This is a question that has been asked in light of the recent economic downturn, and the answer is quite simply yes. Our reputation is worth more than money. If you pay by Paypal and we keep your money without delivering the goods, it wouldn't be long before Paypal black-listed us, then we wouldn't be able to receive any money at all which wouldn't be any good to anyone, so rest assured, we're here to give you a great holiday, not rob you. Please refer to terms & conditions for our cancellation policy.
I have a small fuel tank. Will I be able to re-fuel regularly?
There will be regular stops for fuel and refreshments.
What if my bike breaks down?
You are strongly advised to take out European breakdown cover. In any event, our guide will help as much as possible and you won't be left behind.
If the weather is hot, will I be able to stop for water?
There will be regular stops, but if you're really desperate, indicate to the motorbike-tours guide and he will stop at a suitable place.
I haven't been riding for long. Will I be welcomed into the group?
You're a biker and as such are more than welcome. We stick to the national speed limits, so you should have no problem keeping up.
What if I want to go on ahead?
We encourage staying as a group, but if you really want to press on you can. You will be supplied with the address of the scheduled stop at the beginning of the day.
How many bikes are there in a group?
Usually ten to twelve.
Is it men only or are women welcome?
Women are actively encouraged to join motorbike-tours.
Do I need European Breakdown Cover?
Motorbike-tours strongly recommend that you have some level of European breakdown cover.
What should I bring?
You should bring all the appropriate documentation relating to your motorcycle, such as V5 Ownership document, driving Licence and certificate of insurance. A spare set of bulbs and a reflective jacket for break-downs. If you wear glasses, you should carry a spare pair. Spare bike keys could be a good idea. Some euros may come in handy and don't forget your passport! A camera is a must.
