The RiDE guide to amazing destinations and inspiring roads

t

here is little in life better than a big

trip on a bike. the sense of excitement

from discovering new places combined

with the feeling of achievement of

munching big miles are the reason that

each year, thousands of British bikers head off

on major roadtrips. And when that trip is

complemented by a bike that can go far and

fast, things are even better.

the next 27 pages are dedicated to helping you

get the most from your next big sporty tour. We

have outlined some of our favourite destinations;

dug deep into what goes wrong with the most

popular sports tourers; and quizzed the UK’s

most obsessive touring nuts for hints, tips and

expertise. if you’re planning a two-wheeled

odyssey, then there’s plenty for you here.
