When on the Isle of Man, Do as the Locals Do

There’s a saying that goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” The widely used phrase is pretty straightforward in its meaning: embrace the local customs. And that’s exactly what we strive to do with our guided motorcycle adventures. Riders on a MotoQuest adventure are not your average tourist. They are travelers, wanderers even, in search of meaningful experiences. The sights and sounds are just the beginning. It’s really the people we meet along the way that make all the difference.

Take our Isle of Man and Wales Adventure for instance. On the surface, a trip through England, Wales and the Isle of Man looks like it should come with a long list of stops at historical points of interest. And indeed there are some — it would be a disservice not to pay visits to a few significant locations. But once the group rides off the ferry onto the Isle of Man, the real magic begins.

You see, over the years we have developed a special relationship with a local Isle of Man resident. Each year this local invites us to sit on his porch at Ballaugh Bridge, an icon of the Isle of Man TT race because this is where racers carry enough speed over a crest to get both tires off the ground.

It’s an exclusive deal, and puts our group right in the midst of the action and sharing it with colorful locals. Simply put, we do as the locals do: have a pint and watch motorcycles whiz by at incredible speeds!

Do as the locals do: grab a pint and enjoy the show!

This trip sells out every year. And because the Isle of Man race is such a popular event on a global scale, we make all of our lodging and travel arrangements a full year in advance. This ensures that we can give our group the best possible experience, one they will never forget.

Below is the list of motorcycles we still have available for this trip. If you’re now picturing yourself riding one of these bikes through the English countryside, or on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, then head over to our website and reserve your spot.

Don’t forget that this trip is eligible for our booking special! All you have to do is book by January 1, 2018 and we’ll pay a portion of your deposit!
