Route 66 to Grand Canyon Ride: 8 Days/7 Nights


Begin the Route 66 to Grand Canyon Ride where Route 66 meets the Pacific Ocean. Ride 66 through Los Angeles and out into the sandy deserts of Western California and into Arizona.

Once into Arizona, it isn't far to one of the world's seven natural wonders - the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is over a mile deep and many miles wide in places. Like Route 66, the name Grand Canyon stands alone with a full mythology of meaning. Camp near the edge of the fascinating canyon enjoying its majestic power. You have to see it to believe it.

Provence by Scooter : 6 Days/5 Nights


Provence has it all: beautiful scenery, rich history, quiet back roads, and mouthwatering food and wine. Hit the open road on your own scooter on this guided tour of Provence's Vaucluse region. Spend one night in Avignon and then experience four and a half days of touring on a 125cc scooter. Traveling by scooter is fun and easy, they have an electric start and automatic transmission. Your local guide will lead you along quiet back roads amongst olive groves and vineyards to storybook castles and hilltop villages. This is a great vacation which combines the freedom and exhilaration of touring by scooter with the fabulous food, wine, and landscapes of Provence.

Ducati, Ferrari and Mountains: 5 Nights

This five-night tour takes you up through the Appenines from Tuscany crossing into Emilia Romagna at around 1300m (4000ft) above sea level. The roads range from tight curves through to open sweepers with good visibility (although with a number of severe drops!). The tour starts with a minibus meeting you at Pisa airport and transporting you to the fleet of 749s. After a short ride to get to know the area, spend the first night in the Villa Corte Degli Dei on the edge of historic Lucca. From Lucca, a direct ascent into the Appenines and on to the home ground of Ferrari and Ducati (not to mention Maserati, Lamborghini and others).

This tour has little or no motorway riding and concentrates on good country roads. The riding on mountain tours (such as this) is more focused/high speed than some other tours, but pace will be based on the requirements of the group. Daily distances are not long but the roads can be hard work!

Some hotels have pools (although not all on this tour). All days move from one location to another so there is no 'rest' day.

There are trips to the impressive Galleria Ferrari and Ducati factory museum (entrance tickets included in the tour price).

All hotels are high quality traditional and full of character. All riders are given a private double room with their own bathroom. Passengers do share the rider's room.

The tour includes a group welcome meal and a group farewell meal (all food and drinks provided). All breakfasts are included. Lunches and remaining dinners are not included in the tour price.

Sturgis Ride: 15 Days/14 Nights

If you had to choose one ride to do in your life, this should be it. Sturgis, South Dakota, hosts the most exciting annual gathering of bikers in the world. The Sturgis Rally began in 1938. It has grown to a world-wide motorcycle event which attracted more than 500,000 motorcycle enthusiasts in 2006.

The Sturgis Rally is special because bikers from all walks of life join each other with a common love of motorcycles and freedom. At Sturgis, you will see everything from business executives riding their first Harley to Hells Angels on their super chopped Shovelheads. Sturgis is one of the last places to see true legends live the life they love.

The Sturgis Ride, however, is not exclusively about the event.The ride is amazing for two reasons. First, because of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, which soar into the Western skies. Ride through Zion, Flaming Gorge, and into famous Yellowstone National Park, where you can see bear, bison, moose, wolves, eagles, and many other wild animals.


The Sturgis Ride is also exceptional because all of the motorcycles on the road are heading the same direction. You continually meet new people, and the group seems to grow larger and larger the closer you get to Sturgis. If you're on a Harley, and you're heading toward Sturgis, you become a brother or sister to all those doing the same. The excitement grows as you near Sturgis, and many stories are exchanged as you ride home.

Pacific Coast Tour: 14 Days


This one has it all: wild, rugged coastline; streaming rainforest and towering redwoods; windswept alpine heights; rolling hills covered with golden grass; and enough civilization to keep things interesting.

Anchoring the beginning, middle and end of this ride are some of the most lively, fun and motorcycle-friendly cities in the country. And in all those places in between, there's no shortage of the kinds of beautiful, sleepy, lost-in-the-mists-of-time small towns and villages that make riding the back roads worth every extra mile.

So start your ride with a strong cup of joe in one of Seattle's almost numberless coffee shops, and lower your kickstand in San Diego to watch the sunset from one of that city's perfect beaches. Behind you will be 3,300 miles-worth of the best kind of memories - motorcycle memories.

Christian Spirit Ride: 4 Days/3 Nights


The Spirit Ride is a non-alcoholic tour. This is a ride for American and International bikers to share each other's faith and companionship while doing what they love - riding street bikes. It is a time for men and women to meditate, read, pray, and reflect upon their faith in God while they enjoy the life God has given them by rumbling down beautiful, sunny California roads on a Harley.

The Spirit Ride is a time of questioning why one exists and trying to understand how best to serve God. This is definitely a ride where miracles take place.

The Spirit Ride is a very unique and special ride. Contact Rachel at (360)281-1743 for more detailed information about this fantastic event!
