Hi Folk’s, we are back in NZ and now looking for our winter ‘Woollies’ Wow, that was a short cold snap to welcome us back to the Southern Hemisphere.
NEWS FLASH!!!
ALL NEW ECONOMY EUROPEAN ALPS TOUR FOR 2017: Priced From: €3,792.50 pp (16 nights in the European Alps)
Beker’s MC Tours have recognised the demand for a more economically based tour, plus we have taken into consideration the very quick rise in mobile technology (GPS’s, phones & tablets) which we all agree is a great help for motorcyclists with daily navigation and low cost communications.
With this in mind, we have decided the time is right to drop some of the costly luxury add-on’s from our previous “Great Kiwi Euro Alps Tours and for 2017 we introduce our “Economy Euro Alps Tour” a great value low cost adventure!
This tour Starts & Finish’s in Munich Germany and is a 17 day (16 night) 15 riding day motorcycling adventure through the most stunning areas of the highly acclaimed European Alps.
You will stay in nice quality, mostly family run hotels in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland & Italy, riding Harley-Davidson’s® or BMW’s.
Each day of the entire tour you can go explore by yourself (with the good information provided) or ride along with the guides, or a bit of both, your choice.
Plus you can dine at places of your desire on your daily adventures without the set time limits for your expected arrival at hotels in the early evenings, this would give 100% total freedom to all of the experienced and super adventurous tour participants that may prefer to ride alone (or with a companion) Contact us anytime for further information.

Our NZ summer Harley® rental bookings/tours are steadily increasing each year now which is very pleasing as we really enjoy the relaxed adventures in our home base country with the knowledge that the South Island of New Zealand is still highly recommended motorcycling territory from all “in the know” worldwide and is a very safe and calm place to participate in an awesome Harley-Davidson® riding experience. Contact us for details. http://www.bekersmct.co.nz/new-zealand.html

We are offering our wonderful deluxe Tuscan experience for the third time in 2017 (check out the link here)http://www.bekersmct.co.nz/the-tuscan-con-comodo.html
This tour offers the best of a Tuscan motorcycle adventure whilst remembering that one is on a holiday, lots of chances to explore all the famous cities and sights and this tour includes all our full Beker’s MCT back-up services.

We have once again completed another great European touring season with a larger group of adventure seekers on a 14 country Balkan/Greek tour, all went very well with no real challenges to talk about which is largely due to Mr T’s “our Greek connection” area knowledge and his relaxed tour guiding technique as most days were full riding days for sure, plus Donna’s attention to tour detail, her working through pre-tour issues and countless logistic challenges. It was great that all participants were very experienced riders (and most had completed several other international motorcycle tours) as our stringent tour criteria for this "one off" tour was definitely warranted.

We have both started working on another refined Greek/Balkan adventure (with a lesser amount of and different Balkan countries) for 2018, this tour would be a two week-ish adventure, with shorter riding days and without a back-up van for a more cost effective tour, we will keep everyone posted as information comes to hand.

Our old favourite "The Great Kiwi Alps Tour" ran without a hitch with a small numbered group which made for easy changes during the days adventure, so hence, a relaxed riding pace,. We were very lucky to have had great weather, good company & awesome roads.

We also have checked out for a future Economy tour the following. START; Munich-Austria-Czech Republic-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Austria-Slovenia-Northern Italy-Austria-Bavaria-FINISH; Munich. Below is Budapest, one of those must see City's, which would be part of this tour.

Once again we finish with the same old blurb, if ever you thought about or wanted to check out European riding, now is the time, give it a go and we are confident you will come away with a feeling of “what a cool place to ride motorcycles”
We haven’t forgotten about “Good Old USA” we are still offering our month long great value North Western States, Seattle to Sturgis and return (this tour we are looking at the possibility of shortening the time/length of the tour as less and less people have the luxury of taking so many weeks off work/business now days.
Happy Riding & Live Long!
P.S. Special thanks to our London connection, great to catch up with friends and have an awesome time in the U.K, we won’t forget our private flight to France for lunch, how posh!!
