We have now opened our specialist International Motorcycle Transportation division. Travel Abroad 'on yer bike'
Press Release Project – To provide an “All Inclusive” service to a relatively new, and fast growing market……………International Motorcycle Touring. Up until recently most motorcycle touring was arranged by Tour operators who offer a service where a person arrives in their country, at their own expense, and then join the operator and tour group on an organised tour, using the tour operator motorcycle. . Partially due to the high costs. A growing number of people are wishing to take their own bike on these tours but as they are not familiar with Customs and shipping requirements, are either struggling through it themselves or not going at all because they don’t know how. Sometimes a single person will fly out to a country and then join a larger group touring the destination country, but most prefer travelling with companions from the UK. Occasionally people organise their own large groups of possibly 10 motorcycles. This means that most shipments will consist of 2 or more motorcycles. We offer a service, by air and by sea, where the person/s deliver their bike/s into us and collect it readily cleared for use at destination. They tour the country of their choice and then return home. From the customer’s point of view, they do very little other than deliver the bike into us, pay us, sign paperwork and then collect their bike at destination. Enjoy themselves and then collect their bike from us on their return. Some of these people tour for only a few weeks at a time to fit it in with their annual holidays and others for months at a time, either because they can afford it on a regular basis or it’s something that they have saved up for for many years, and now finally can make their dream come true.
