Citizens of the European Union need their valid identity card or passport when touring. In addition, the national driver's license must be carried. Participants from other non-EU countries are asked to clarify the entry formalities with their embassy. Furthermore, an international driver's license should be available together with the national driver's license.

To participate in our motorcycle tour you should have at least 2 years of driving experience on the chosen motorcycle model or a similar one. It is important that you are able to control your motorcycle in every situation and that you can move it without risk. Therefore, select one of the motorcycle models for the trip, which is safe and comfortable for you and where you can reach the ground with both feet without any problems.

Within European countries, traffic rules do not differ significantly. We recommend always driving with foresight, because especially in Spain overtaking on the right is common, the blinker is often not used and sometimes dark red traffic lights and stop signs are disregarded. Especially when driving in a group, we ask you to keep a safe distance from the car in front and to show consideration for each other. 

With our motorcycles we move on well-maintained road networks and especially in Spain with a very low traffic volume for European standards, outside of the urban centers. Countless winding roads and numerous mountain passes, that perfectly fit into the landscape, will make your biker's heart beat faster. Perfect conditions to ride smoothly or to feel the thrill of the curves. Our tours run 100% on tarmac. Of course, due to weather conditions and other road users, there may be dirt or damage (potholes) on the road, so a careful driving style is recommended.

Due to the variety of countries and regions you visit on your tour, it is not possible to make a general statement about the weather. Especially in the alpine region, temperatures and weather conditions may change significantly within the different areas, altitudes and mountain ranges. During the riding days in the Alps or in case of bad weather, it can also get chilly. Therefore, it is recommended to always have an extra piece of clothing (rain suit) on the motorcycle.

Depending on the destination, the average driving time is between 4 and 6 hours per day. We usually start after breakfast in good time and reach the respective destination around 17:00 / 18:00 pm. Of course there are stops for sightseeing, taking pictures, coffee and lunch breaks and we also have enough time to stretch our legs. Per riding day we usually cover between 250 to 300 km on our motorcycles.

Of course it is also possible to participate in our tours through Europe and the Alps with your own motorcycle, provided that your bike is properly maintained, has good tires and is approved for traffic. The transport to the starting point of the tour has to be organized by yourself. Please make sure that you have the appropriate motorcycle related papers (vehicle registration certificate) and the green insurance card with you.

Proper motorcycle gear is essential on all our motorcycle tours. This includes motorcycle pants and jacket with protectors, sturdy motorcycle boots, leather gloves and a motorcycle helmet with full visor. If your suit is not waterproof, we recommend you to bring a rain suit. And you should also remember to bring warm clothing for this tour.
