A passion

“Here we go again! This time 9 blokes instead of 8 on a bender in Thailand/Laos November 2019. We had a new guide this time round. Francois was replaced with Tristan a younger version for our guide. One thing is for sure he can drink more than Francois ! Picked up from the Airport and taken to our lovely hotel. We watched England thrash New Zealand at the Rugby with our guide to get the measure of him and it was light drinking with an old mate supporting England all the way! The ride itself went like clockwork - Great bikes and superb back up. "Ding Ding" the head mechanic was always there to solve any problems with the bikes. "Ting Tong" the fixer was great and found us $1 whiskey most nights, The Laos trip offered all terrain riding and was another trip bagged for our group with VR. If you are British and looking for a company that does ever thing so well then you need to book with this company. We are returning in 2021 to South Africa with VR. Bring it on.... Doddy.”

“The trip was one of the most memorable of my motorcycling life. Bali and Java are two very different places full of surprises around every corner with Bali being green and lush and Java being more volcanic. Exploring these places on a Royal Enfield just adds to the Magic and soon you feel part of the culture and the faith structure of the islands. Vintage rides made the experience very enjoyable from the booking and admin support to the actual trip. The guide was knowledgeable and knew his stuff, he was very personable and led the group well He took us to places well off the tourist trail and was informative in his description. I would recommend Vintage Rides to anyone seeking adventure on a motorcycle.”

“One of the most challenging and intense experiences of my life. The route was extreme and remote, but the scenery and experience were both spectacular. The weather provided every season from snow and ice to heat and monsoon rains. Accommodations were rudimentary in the more remote areas, so do not expect luxury. The motorcycles are easy to ride, but well used. Our guide was great, and the support team efficiently fixed any issues with the bikes. This is not a trip for everyone, but I am so pleased I did it.”

“Vintage Rides, are a great outfit, providing great bikes,fabulous itinerary, accommodation and crew, could not do enough to ensure we were all happy.This was my third trip, and not my last.”

“Outstanding adventure with Vintage Rides crossing the Himalayas on Royal Enfield motorcycles. Excellent operation from trip preparation to support through the entire tour. Dedicated staff to ensure participants can experience an adventure with optimum safety and reliability. Highly recommend Vintage Rides as the ideal adventure motorcycle tour operator wherever they operate around the world.”

“The best vacation with a great guide and group”
