Well, the weather has changed for some of the Tour Leaders - I know one of them is in Bangkok right now, leading a tour tomorrow - Adventure Vietnam https://motorrad-tours.com/tours/adventure-vietnam/
However, today is ‘Winter Wednesday’ again.
What do our tour leaders do in the short ‘off-season’ whilst they are waiting to get back on their motorcycles and travel the world with you?
Well, today it is the turn of Chris 'Madge' Margetts.
Chris is one of the most recent to join the team, and he's certainly made an entrance!
He has many tours under his belt already and is due to venture into Peru in April.
He has other strings to his bow, one of which is teaching FBOS (First Biker on Scene) scene management and basic trauma care to his local motorcycle groups.
He's put together a short video telling you what he does. I don't, however, think that's his real voice .....
In the meantime, why not click on the link and book yourself onto one of the tours Chris has been assigned to, one of our many tours we have lined up for 2025.

Adventurers Assemble ………….
They have made it. A mixed group of motorcyclists, united by a passion for adventure and the open road, set out on an extraordinary journey with Motorrad-Tours, riding from Puerto Varas in Chile to Lapataia, the southernmost inhabited region of South America. 🥇
Their route took them through the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia, across the Magellan Strait, and onto the legendary island of Tierra del Fuego, where they reached the symbolic ‘End of the World’. Traversing Carretera Austral, Ruta 40 and The Patagonian Steppe, cris-crossing between Chile and Argentina, with scenery shifting between windswept plains and rugged mountains.
This Motorrad-Tours expedition was not just about reaching the destination; it was about the camaraderie, the thrill of the ride, and the unforgettable experiences along the way. From winding Andean roads to desolate Patagonian expanses, the journey tested endurance, skill, and spirit. Their adventure stands as a testament to the brilliance of the BMW GS brand, the call of the open road, and the timeless allure of exploration.❤️
This is fast becoming one of our most popular tours, so if you want to secure a place for 2026, we strongly advise you get your name on the list as soon as possible.
Let me leave you with this little ‘ditty’.
‘If adventure is calling ‘yoo-hoo’.
You know what it is you must do.

If the End of the World is for you’.😊

Well, the weather hasnt changed much, just the cold being indispersed with the rain now 😢
Today is ‘Winter Wednesday’ again.
What do our tour leaders do in the short ‘off-season’ whilst they are waiting to get back on their motorcycles and travel the world with you?
Well, today it is the turn of Craig Baker.
Craig works in the office and, although maybe not part of the 'front line' team, his input is invaluable for making your tours a success.
He works partly in the office in Bridgend and partly, well, I'll let him tell you about it......
In the meantime, why not click on the link and book yourself onto one of the tours Craig has put together for you, one of our many tours we have lined up for 2025.

The Perito Moreno Glacier is a frozen cathedral of ice that stretches both far and wide.
Each towering wall gleams like carved marble, a prism of blues and whites,
where sunlight dances in fractured rays. Its alive. It speaks in creaks and groans and in the thunderous roar of icebergs calving as they break free and plunge into water.
To stand before it is to witness eternity in motion, to feel the weight of millennia pressing down, yet offering a fleeting moment of fragile, icy grace.
Come, see for yourselves, its truly a majestic and though provoking experience.

Good evening everyone, just time to post one last Team Tuesday before the year ends.
This week's Tour Leader is Steve Freeman.
Steve has been a TL for Motorrad Tours since 2015 after retiring from running a barrister's chambers. He moved to Wales and has a great view from his garden.
He is articulate and hilarious, you should hear his tour briefings. Comments such as 'what you see today is a mere canapes of what is to come' and 'the views are a smorgasbord of colour and variety'. Such a generous vocabulary - we love him.
Oh, and don't be fooled by his little legs, he can ride very well indeed, its just the stopping he needs help with if there is no kerb to lean on 😂
He is an avid motorcyclist and has led many of the tours we have to offer. He's a definite favourite with the customers too - what a charmer!
Why not join Steve next year on one of his tours. Here are a few facts about him:
Started Riding: In 1997
First Tour: Picos and Northern Spain with his mates.
First World of BMW Tour: WWI Battlefileds.
Favourite Place You’ve Ridden: Spain (or maybe The Highlands - or perhaps Alaska, or … !)
New Place You Want to Ride: Vietnam.
Interesting Fact about you: He is ex-cabin crew for BA so he’s excellent at serving coffee and tea!

The Motorrad-Tours annual Tour Leader's (TLs) Christmas get together was in St Albans, Hertfordshire this year.
We came together in song (well sort of..!) to wish all of our customers, new and old, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year xx.
Why not get that person you love, or maybe just treat yourself to a Gift Voucher this festive season, help yourself or them make 'memories, not dreams' in 2025.
We have put the words up here so you can sing along (or at least have some idea of what we were trying to sing!)
Merry Christmas one and all... 🎅
On the twelfth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, twelve months to tour in
On the eleventh day of Christmas my TL gave to me, eleven friends to ride with
On the tenth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, ten five-star hotels
On the ninth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, nine UNESCO places
On the eighth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, eight pillion passengers
On the seventh day of Christmas my TL gave to me, seven countries on one tour
On the sixth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, six mountain ranges
On the fifth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, five memories not dreams
On the fourth day of Christmas my TL gave to me, four styles of touring
On the third day of Christmas my TL gave to me, three hairpin bends
On the second day of Christmas my TL gave to me, two Office Staff
On the first day of Christmas my TL gave to me, gift vouchers to go on a tour

The open road calls, and 2025 promises the ultimate motorcycle holiday, a symphony of freedom and adventure. Picture carving through the legendary Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps, each hairpin turn revealing snow-dusted peaks and valleys that stretch to infinity. The serpentine roads of the Pyrenees, threading between France and Spain, await with their thrilling descents and hidden mountain villages.
From the rugged coasts of Scotland’s North Coast to the sun-soaked curves of the Picos Mountains, every mile teems with possibility. Stop to savour a lakeside espresso in Switzerland or watch the sun dip below the horizon as you marvel the vistas in Patagonia, The Canadian Rockies or the endless miles of a Namibian highway. With each twist and turn, the journey becomes more than a ride—it’s a celebration of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes and the sheer joy of exploration on two wheels.
World travel is achievable, and its more enjoyable on two wheels. Let Motorrad-Tours take you to make memories, not dreams.

Good evening lovely people. Its Team Tuesday again.
This week's Tour Leader is Dan McQuoid.
Dan has been a TL for Motorrad Tours since 2017 after retiring from the Met Police and has led many different tours during his time. He’s become a bit of an ‘expert’ in our Arctic and the Midnight Sun tour and has even managed to avoid getting done for speeding over there!
He is an avid motorcyclist and works extensively in the training field as an Observer for both the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), that is when he’s not on the golf course that is. 🏌
He is very used to foreign travel as, during his time in the police, he ran a protection team operating in high risk, low infrastructure countries; so, if on a tour with him leading, you get to the bar after a long day’s ride and its shut, he WILL be able to find you one nearby that’s open 😂
Why not join Dan next year on one of his tours. Here are a few facts about him:
Started Riding: In 1983
First Tour: Mountains all the way in 2014.
First World of BMW Tour: Dams of the Ruhr 2017.
Favourite Place You’ve Ridden: Norway and The Picos Mountains.
New Place You Want to Ride: Romania.
Interesting Fact about you: If I could have a superpower, it would be to be speak several languages.
