If you live in the UK, you will have
noticed that the summer seems to attract thousands of big bikes, which are
noticeably absent other times of the year, and the reason for this is the
sudden surge in popularity for big bike touring. Of course, you might already
be a seasoned biker and eagerly waiting for the Spring Bank Holiday, which
signals the arrival of the riding season, indeed, many riders have a full
calendar for all their free time, at least until the end of September, when
they reluctantly garage their bike.
Thrilling
Experience
These two words perhaps best describe
how it feels to be astride a 650cc motorcycle with close to 100hp at your
disposal and opening her up on a stretch of open road is definitely a rush. Of
course, we are not advocating speeding, rather using the power for short bursts
of acceleration, and as you become more competent as a rider, you can upgrade
to a bigger, more powerful bike.
Way of Life
Once you have acquired a big bike from Wheels
Motorcycles, every summer will be filled with amazing
adventures; attractions like The Lake District, Norfolk Broads, Devon and
Cornwall, to mention but a few of the stunning natural locations our Island
possesses. Winters can be spent researching online, planning the next year’s
expeditions and also to carry out maintenance on the bike, to prepare it for
the coming summer. Once you’ve experienced one bike touring trip, you will be
hooked and this type of experience will be a major part of your life, as you
travel to new regions and have a unique experience every time.
Freedom &
Independence
When you pack your touring bike and fuel
up, the open road beckons and you are ready for another adventure and whatever
plans you might have made, can be changed at the drop of a hat, as you are not
tied to any schedule or program. Unlike a package holiday, you are in control
with big bike touring, with the ability to change your mind at any stage, or
stay on a special spot you found near the beach. Riding for long periods can
cause backache, which can be
avoided if you take a 5-minute break every 30 minutes.
Camping
Combine your bike touring with camping
for the ultimate experience – there's no cheaper way to holiday – and there are
many top-rated camping sites in all parts of the UK to cater for the many
people who prefer a camping holiday. No more will you be paying sky high hotel
or resort prices when you holiday and after the initial camping investment,
there’s not much to pay with a camping holiday.
