I was the only 'Compass Virgin' on our trip - which says a lot about the strength of Compass's return business. So what makes a perfect motorcycle adventure holiday (as this truly was)? The places visited and the riding are very important, of course, but it's 'the people wot make it'. By this I mainly refer to the staff: what a great bunch of chilled, relaxed but professional bunch they were. Jerry and his team couldn't have worked harder to ensure we were all happy. Most of this positive, down to earth attitude is to do with the nature of the Ozzies (and I am allowed to say this as a Pom!) who, I would say, are ideally suited to adventure tour organising - probably because living in Oz is one big adventure! Get this 'basic' right, though, and we the customers (the other side of the 'people' equation) can't help but react positively....and on this tour, not surprisingly, the cameraderie was great. So that's the cake...what about the icing? What about the bikes, the riding and the destinations? Sorry, BMW, but I don't understand why I would pay more for your bike when my Suzuki V Strom was so perfect. All you want for an adventure bike is for it to be comfortable, fast enough but, most importantly, bullet proof ..... and the Suzy was all of these and more. The riding was wonderful: thoughtfully judged but sufficiently challenging. Couldn't fault it.
Motorcycle adventure holidays - by their very nature - will never be the cheapest holidays on the market. So your choice of which company you use is crucial because a lot of your hard earned cash is at stake. That is why I unequivocally recommend a Compass Expeditions tour because it ticks all the boxes - and does so in spades. - via
