What is a Fly and Ride motorcycle trip and why should I do it?
If you don’t have the time or money for that big round-the-world trip, one way to see the world is fly there, rent a motorbike, have a two-week mini motorcycle adventure and fly home. And this motorcycle rental guide will help you do just that.
This is RTW Patchwork adventure lite. Not having to get the bike ready for shipping, insurance, import paperwork the list goes on. We feel that riding a bike for a couple of weeks round a country without a tent, huge panniers with tyres balanced on top, deadlines, bureaucracy and border crossings is a pretty good idea!
We went on a two-week fly and ride to Morocco back in Sept 2017, travelling through the desert and around the High Atlas Mountains and it cost just under £1,000. If we had ridden to Morocco from the UK, we would have barely reached Marrakesh in seven days, then would have had to turn around and ride straight back to UK, missing out on what we consider to be all the good stuff. Not to mention, it would have cost considerably more on our own bikes riding there, approximately £1,400 as Europe is not cheap.
Great write up! Lots of helpful information. Thanks Fern and Ferdie.
Really handy guide and great tips and advice. Bookmarked this for when this damn virus is lifted. Thanks guys
Same as the last comment. Bookmarked this page and saving for when everything clears up. I was planning a few bigger trips but I think that might be a bit risky now. Instead I think i’ll go on a few fly and ride trips instead. Only thing to do now is wait for it to clear and then decide on where to go.
