Great experience. I learnt alot. I struggled with a couple of the more difficult dirt roads (tracks) but also learnt my limitations and improved on some of them. Could not have managed as well without my husband leading the way. This was my first overseas motorcycle tour... but not my last.
i loved this trip we had a fantastic time i am from Australia and very experienced with dirt roads that is no problem but my wife not so as we would like to travel together i would like to see a better description of how much dirt and the general condition of these roads .
A great trip. Jean, in particular was outstanding. However, the accomodation was far too average. The average age was around 60 and relatively affluent. They expect and are used to better hotels.
The other comment to to consider abandoning the “ safari” trip to Udawalawe. It is very very overcrowded with vehicles, very and few animals were seen. It’s simply not worth seeing. Perhaps there is a better place to see elephants ?
Met a great group of people as you always seem to on bike tours. The Safari was not great, probably have preferred to visit the Elephant sanctuary and also I would have liked to perhaps visit the turtles and a boat trip would have been great to help break up the riding a bit.
my only criticism was we had one rider with nearly no motorcycle experience who as a result slowed the entire group down. Just need to make sure peoples riding experience matches the trip
On this trip we were often tied to the hotels we stayed at for evening meal. I would have preferred if Vintage had paid for the evening meal and not lunch and left us with an option of taking lunch or not. Big lunches can make the afternoon ride tiring. This is the most expensive trip I have done and you could do with investing those monies on improving the infrastructure. The backup jeep will only take 1 rider if there is a problem and during our trip we had 2 riders who had need of that seat, fortunately not at the same time. Also the support guys only just managed to squeeze the passenger luggage into the vehicle... kudos to them. You need a bigger support vehicle. Was very surprised that although there was water provided during the ride it was not chilled. By the afternoon that water was more than tepid. Not so pleasant. Maybe invest in a coolbox? As said previously the GPS used by Kali needs upgrading!
