Alex
In 2006, after travelling 20,000 km by motorbike in India, Alex founded Vintage Rides. Since then, he has been developing our concept in more than 20 countries.
On the agenda
A motorcycle training course allows you to discover, or revisit, the basics of off-road riding on the Royal Enfield Himalayan trail bike. This course will be useful for your daily road riding as well as preparing you for adventures that combine confidence and pleasure. Whether you have already travelled with us, are planning your next motorbike trip, or simply wish to join a fun weekend outing with friends, you are welcome at the Vintage Rides Academy for an off-road training course. You can also explore our other motorbike trips in France.

YOUR MOTORCYCLE TOUR IN FRANCE

1 day - Theory & Practice

1/1 • Training grounds (Beaujolais region)
You’ll set off on your motorcycles to the training ground for a full day of hands-on learning, where theory is immediately put into practice. On the agenda: clearing obstacles, tackling bends, slaloms, off-camber riding, slow and fast manoeuvres, gear changes while standing up, and higher-speed sections in a standing position. The workshops are tailored to your needs and riding level, ensuring an intensive and rewarding experience. After a convivial lunch in a local restaurant, you’ll return to the training ground to continue developing your skills. This day is the perfect preparation before embarking on a France motorcycle tour or any other adventure, where you can confidently put your new techniques to the test on real-world routes. The day wraps up around 6 p.m.
