Took my oldest son, a teen, for a ride this week-end. Sort of a nice way to have fun together (no not the "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" way, we aren't that nuts ;) )^

I selected a nice twisty road with a great view above the Mediterranean sea, in the middle of a forest and over a pass (those who come riding with Unicorn Adventures will have the pleasure to experience that road) to have him enjoy the sensual feeling of real motorcycle riding.

The bike was smoothly bending from one curve to the next one, under the tree shadows, the engine was nicely purring, there was that wet forest smell in the air...it was just perfect....

And there came his comment: "If that is what motorcycle riding is about then I want to become a biker!"

I love my son!

Lets see why should we stop living and having fun?

Organised Motorcycle Tours are expensive, this is a fact!

But Motorcycle Tours experts like Unicorn Adventures Ltd provide premium packages worth the price, but does anyone look forward to premium service?

For a given price yes one does deserve Premium service, but why not also offer a not so premium service and give people the chance to join a motorcycle tour at a different price? They will still enjoy the tour and have fun but with a different package!

This is why Unicorn Adventures Ltd has decided to create the MEDIUM package. You still get access to the superb Motorcycle Tours but the price has been taken down as the package is different.

Whats is included in the packages then:

PREMIUM TOURS

• Creation,development and tour testing.
• Unicorn Adventures Ltd motorcycle + insurance + gas (*)
• Gear, if needed (cleaned after each tour). Ask for a helmet, a jacket, trousers and a rain suit or just pick and choose. It's up to you!
• A guide (max. 8 to 10 bikes per guide) who speaks at least 3 languages, received a first-aid training and has more than 10 years of motorcycle riding experience.
• Luggage management: a support vehicle carries your luggage (2 per person max.) and the souvenirs that you may purchase during the tour.
• Welcome breakfast prior to tour departure.
• All nights in 3, 4, 5 star hotels or Castles.
• All breakfasts.
• 2 to 3 dinners (depends on tour duration).
• Ferry ticket (tours with islands), high level cabins for long crossings.
• Roadbook.

(*) Not included if you join with your own bike

Bonjour!

Bonne année 2008!

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que Unicorn Adventures Ltd est désormais partenaire officiel de BMW Motorrad France!

Roulez avec nous!

Hello!

Happy new year 2008!

We are glad to let you know that Unicorn Adventures Ltd is now an official partner of BMW Motorrad France!

Have fun and ride safely!

Just finished riding the book Emilio Scotto wrote after his ten years journey around the world through more than 250 countries!

What a blast!

Gives to all of us travellers a story to dream about! And to never give up!

Thanks Emilio!

Don't forget to visit his web site!

In the latest Box’RMag issue, a double spread is dedicated to the wonderful R1200GS Adventure, 2008 « cru ».

This motorcycle is a pure invitation to live freely out of towns but especially « (…) a motorcycle that you do have to assume and that is absolutely not made for dandies with pointed shoes and Armani suit».

Everything’s clear now, isn’t it?!!! ;-)

A lot (well at least in the BMW motorcycle fan world) of us a wondering if there will be a F800GS.

Yes there will be one! It will be introduced at the November Milan show!

Pricing should be close to the F800ST one, chain drive, 21L tank and should be comfy for a 1m86 pilot!

That's all we know!

During our « Alpine Passes Tour » we have the pleasure to climb over some special passes like the Izoard or the Galibier!

Climbing up those passes is already a nice piece of work with the motorcycle and requires the biker to work hard to perfectly ride the curves.

But we are always impressed to see the fellow cyclists who make, also on two wheels, but without an engine! What took us 20 minutes takes more than 3 hours on a bicycle!

Thos guys can be proud as the only drug they have is … pleasure!

They show you that you can get up those passes without being full with EPO or any other product! What a shame for those supposed professionals all more loaded than a chemical truck! Just to win a few seconds and a few more Euros on the Tour de France!

Not mentioning that they gloom so hard that riding close to them in the mountains is dangerous! Too much glooming in the dark kills your night vision!

Lors de notre circuit « Le tour des Alpes » nous avons le plaisir de grimper des cols mythiques comme l’Izoard ou le Galibier !

La montée de ces cols représente un grand plaisir à moto et quelques efforts pour bien réussir courbes et virages.

Quelle admiration après quelques 20 à 30 minutes de montée, de sélection du bon rapport à moto que de voir arriver des cyclistes, de simples amateurs tous fiers d’avoir réussi un tel exploit sur deux roues .. mais sans moteur !

Et ils peuvent être fiers eux ! car ces simples amateurs sont drogués…au plaisir !

Ils démontrent qu’il n’est pas nécessaire d’être chargé à l’EPO ou toute autre cochonnerie pour réussir un col en vélo ! Quelle honte de voir ces soi-disant grands coureurs chargés à mort de leur drogues juste pour gagner un peu plus d’argent sur le Tour de France !

En plus c’est gênant lorsque vous êtes à moto lorsque la nuit tombe ! Ils sont tellement fluos que s’en est éblouissant !

Please mark your agenda! The appointment is given: the Curve Cowboy Reunion will take place on August 28-31 2007 at the Tan-Tar-A Resort, Osage Beach, Missouri. A very special motorcycle rally, focused on riders as well as passengers, organised in a beautiful resort with easy access to the wonderful roads of Central and Southern Missouri and the Ozark Mountains. Whatever your motorcycle brand, you're welcome! Maybe will you be the lucky person who will win the BMW F650 Dakar (donated by the Tan-Tar-A Resort) or one of the Unicorn Adventures - Motorcycle Tours Certificates that grant you an important discount for you and your friends on any of our tours (given as a door prize for the Curve Cowboy Reunion)... Be there!
