Meet GeorgeQuestions riders ask
Do I need my own motorcycle?
Yes — every rider is on their own bike. You need a full motorcycle licence, and your bike roadworthy, taxed and insured for riding in Ireland. There is no rental fleet, and no rental markup.
How many riders will be on the tour?
A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12. If a departure doesn't reach 3 riders, you'll be offered another date or a full refund of anything you've paid.
What's included in the price?
Overnight accommodation with breakfast, George as your guide for the full route, and breakdown cover. Lunches, evening meals and petrol are yours — that keeps the price honest.
What about luggage?
You carry your own luggage on your bike — you need very little for a short tour. Most riders manage with a tail bag or panniers.
What if the weather turns?
Ireland rides well in most weather and tours go ahead rain or shine. If a route has to change on safety grounds, George re-plans around it; if we have to cancel a tour entirely, you get another date or a full refund.
How does booking work?
Send an enquiry — form, WhatsApp or email — and George confirms the tour, date and price with you personally, usually within 24 hours. Any deposit arrangements are confirmed in writing when you book.
Ready to ride?
Send an enquiry and George will come back to you personally — usually within 24 hours.
