Great experience. I learnt alot. I struggled with a couple of the more difficult dirt roads (tracks) but also learnt my limitations and improved on some of them. Could not have managed as well without my husband leading the way. This was my first overseas motorcycle tour... but not my last.

A great trip. Jean, in particular was outstanding. However, the accomodation was far too average. The average age was around 60 and relatively affluent. They expect and are used to better hotels. The other comment to to consider abandoning the “ safari” trip to Udawalawe. It is very very overcrowded with vehicles, very and few animals were seen. It’s simply not worth seeing. Perhaps there is a better place to see elephants ?

As previously said we had a wonderful tour my only concern was the state of the support vehicle. I think it is unsafe ie. No working seatbelts. No head restraints in rear. Tatty looking wires hanging out on dashboard. That would make me think twice about booking with Vintage again. Also I believe you should have a second outrider bike. We have been on many bike tours with other companies and they usually have 3. ie the mechanic always rides. We have had riding medical staff and sometimes just a sweeper rider to ensure nobody takes a wrong turn. Although Reshad did a great job we think he should have help especially as there can be a big difference in the capabilities of riders.

A great trip with a good group of people.
