“Just a quick thank-you for the best few days biking
I've had in years;
You both really deserve to be commended on your exceptional hospitality,
accommodation, an ability to provide first class guided riding on what can only
be described as brilliant roads.
I think the twisties are what motorcycle riding is all about as it gives that
rollercoaster adrenalin rush that so many enjoy.
How you manage to pull it off is nothing short of a miracle -- seemingly,
always giving 110%. Brilliant!
Thank-you both once again for reigniting
the passion I have for motorcycling, allowing me to rediscover the
enjoyment that is so often lacking back here in blighty!”
Andy, VFR800, Surrey, July
2009

beers, calvados..................”
