What makes these itineraries different?
Planet Ride was built around direct access to vetted local agencies that design tailor-made routes. You keep the insider knowledge—hidden coastal loops, sweeping desert straights, UNESCO detours—without the guesswork. Each partner signs a quality charter covering safety briefings, bilingual guides, and transparent pricing, so your investment goes into the ride, not middlemen.
Where can I ride on tarmac?
Road-focused collections span the Alps, Andalusia, Route 66, Patagonia, the Cape Peninsula, Japan’s Alpine Route, and more. Many journeys mix bucket-list highways (Stelvio, Tail of the Dragon, Garden Route) with quieter scenic sections to balance adrenaline and contemplation. Use the itinerary builder to filter by continent, distance, or preferred climate.
Which motorcycles and support are included?
Depending on the destination, you can reserve BMW GS, Triumph Tiger, Harley-Davidson Grand American models, Royal Enfield twin cylinders, or comparable touring bikes, all recent-year and fully serviced. Most trips include luggage support vans, GPS tracks, and mechanic assistance; premium programs add spare bikes and satellite tracking. Self-guided options come with digital roadbooks, while guided departures feature lead + sweep riders.
When is the best season?
Europe’s great passes open from late May to September; Mediterranean escapes run almost year-round, with autumn light perfect for Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. North America’s
marquee routes shine from May through October, while Patagonia and South Africa reverse the calendar for winter sun. Weather windows are flagged on each itinerary, and your advisor can adapt mileage or rest days to match shoulder-season conditions.
What level of experience do I need?
Most “road motorcycle” trips target confident riders comfortable with 250–350 km per day, but entry-level programs exist with shorter stages and coaching. Advanced-stage expeditions (e.g., Andes, Balkans) note technical stretches, altitude, or long transfers so you can self-assess. Solo travelers can be paired with a roommate or request single accommodation.
What else is included?
Expect boutique hotels, heritage haciendas, or eco-lodges reflecting each region’s culture. Meals highlight local gastronomy—tapas tours, smokehouse dinners, vineyard picnics—while curated experiences (track sessions, artisans, wildlife outings) deepen the story. The Planet Ride concierge handles paperwork, insurance guidance, and sustainability contributions aligned with ATD commitments. Post-ride, you receive photo sharing hubs and community access to plan the next adventure.
