The Group in Luxembourg before we high-tailed it to Germany! Great riding & a fun group made for another really good tour.
We start with a briefing at Calais
Then collect Steno at Eurotunnel
“What an amazing experience, this company was recommended to me by a stranger on the Eurotunnel when we were chatting about bikes… Everything he described was better than I could have ever imagined. The tour was well run and took the stress out of thinking about fuel stops, best roads, hotels, restaurants, cafe stops and to top it all every single person on the trip was fun. I would recommend to anyone of all ages and experience levels. First class.”
Jose Franco “Toro”, 1st tour, Ducati Diavel, London
Ready for the off…
“Hello all, I’ve just got back from my second ever 5 x 4 trip and just like last year it was excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, thanks again. Only my own conscience stops me booking every week throughout the season as “er indoors” likes me to carry her bags when we have to go and sit on a beach somewhere hot for a week or two. I’m already counting the days until I can get away again with BN Tours. Love it, as soon as next year’s dates are published, I will be booking immediately. I could say more mushy stuff but I’m starting to get emotional lol. Cheers
Kevin Hurrell, 2nd tour, BMW R1250 GS, Kent

Some great roads
“Absolutely great trip and fabulous to meet new friends and ride together. There was one awesome view of 12 bikes together snaking across fields (in the country that shall not be named), it was so majestic while I waited at my drop off, I shall never forget that sight. I will be back on a BN tour soon and hope to meet you all on various trips again, wondering what will be my next years adventure now. Take care all and enjoy your riding.”
