Great Britain is an outstanding destination, especially for trips on two wheels. The most suitable regions for motorcycling are of course the mountainous regions of northern England and Scotland and this is exactly where this tour takes you.
It starts in Liverpool, home of the Beatles, and includes pretty much everything that makes Great Britain great: narrow roads along age-old stone walls and tall hedges, lovely scenery of green hills, golden fields, and clear blue lakes, rugged coastline and quaint fishing ports, cozy pubs with great beer and weird (but awesome!) food, countless castles in stunning locations and interesting cities like Inverness and Edinburgh. And of course some very, very nice people! It also features every motorcyclist’s dream destination, the place where every rider needs to go at least once in their lives: the Isle of Man. Ride the roads of the TT and feel like an athlete yourself.
