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
An adventure motorcycle training course gives you the chance to learn, or brush up on, the fundamentals of off-road riding on the Royal Enfield Himalayan. This training is not only valuable for everyday road riding but also prepares you for adventures where confidence and enjoyment go hand in hand. Whether you’ve already ridden with us, are planning your next motorcycle trip, or just want to join a weekend ride with friends, you’re welcome at the Vintage Rides Academy for an off-road training course. You can also check out our other motorcycle trips across France.

YOUR MOTORCYCLE TOUR IN FRANCE

1 day - Theory & Practice
man on royal enfield himalayan
1/1 • Training grounds (Beaujolais region)
You’ll head out on your motorcycles to the training ground for a full day of learning by doing, where you’ll put theory into practice right away. On the program: clearing obstacles, cornering techniques, slaloms, off-camber riding, slow and fast manoeuvres, shifting gears while standing, and higher-speed riding in a standing position. The workshops are customized to your needs and level, making this an intensive and rewarding training experience. After a friendly lunch in a local restaurant, you’ll get back to the training ground to keep practicing. This day is the ideal preparation before setting off on one of our France motorcycle tours or any other adventure, where you’ll apply your new skills on real routes. The day finishes around 6 p.m.
