Ok so it’s Halloween, we all know it’s the time for weird and wonderful costumes, sweets and freaky movies. But what if you love your motorbike so much that you need it to be involved in the fun?
We’ve taken a look at 5 thrilling things to do with your motorbike (or someone else’s!). Caveat: if you’re going to do anything of these activities, do them safely!!
1. Motorcycle Track Days
Motorcycle Track Days give you the thrill of riding a motorcycle circuit on your own bike. There are no restrictions on speed but you must ride within the regulations. With motorcycle circuits available such as Donington Park, Cadwell Park, Oulton Park and Brands Hatch, these track days are an affordable way to get the thrill of speed, without a ticket!
2. Motorbike Off-Road Experiences
If you like getting dirty, then there’s a wide range of motorcycle off-road experiences available throughout the UK. These adrenaline-fuelled days are the perfect way to learn new skills and experience the beautiful countryside in the UK. These experiences are perfect for birthday gifts, corporate team-building events or even stag groups.
3. Motorcycle Tours
If one day isn’t enough, then consider a motorcycle tour across Europe. You could ride the best roads in Europe, on a top quality motorbike, knowing that everything will be organised for you.
4. Take a Road Trip
The North Coast 500
This is the ultimate road trip, great scenery, challenging roads and if you’re a foodie, fantastic food pit stops along the way. Best time to travel in Scotland is April/May and September/October when there are fewer midges, less tourists and often better weather than the summer.
The East Coast Discovery route
Head for the lesser-used east coast and discover traditional English seaside towns, along with stunning scenery across the Yorkshire moorland. This route takes you from Skegness to Whitby, a total distance of 180 miles.
Riding Through The Welsh Valleys
Passing through the stunning Brecon Beacons, up to Rayadhar and out through the Elan Valley, there are some beautiful roads to ride through. Starting in Chepstow and ending in Aberystwyth, this trip is a distance of 100 miles, perfect for a weekend.
