“Hi John, first of all thank you for an amazing tour, superb as always with great roads and hotels. To be honest there is nothing you could do to improve the trips that BN supply apart from some new jokes!! It is a perfect mix of socialising and riding on perfect motorcycling roads. An amazing group of people and very respectful riding. I hope you are having a great trip through Black Forest. Many thanks”

“Hi John & Jen, thanks for the fantastic tour last week. The August 2025 5×4 tour was my second trip with BN Tours, the first being in 2018. The tour was fabulously well organised and I really enjoyed myself. Great company with lots of laughs and chats. Travelled through some truly lovely villages and scenery, and the hotels were fantastic. The mighty 21 year old Yamaha Fazer 1000 was completely reliable and kept up with everyone. So many amazing corners had me scraping the pegs regularly. Weather was great which always makes a difference. I will be booking another trip soon.”
Mark Scrivener, 2nd tour, Yamaha Fazer 1000, West Yorkshire
