Our decades of touring experience make us the worldwide #1 in motorcycle tours.

WITH YOU ON TOUR ...

OUR TOUR GUIDE TEAM THE BETTER-KNOWN FACES OF EDELWEISS BIKE TRAVEL You will surely meet some of them on your tour – our tour guides! They take you to special places which only locals know and mesmerize you with the best picnics at spectacular locations. And late at night, when you are already dreaming of the next day, they will check your bike. They are the faces of Edelweiss Bike Travel and we are very proud of every single one of them!

HAVING FUN AND WORKING HARD – ONLY THE BEST ONES PASS OUR TRAINING Being a tour guide is a dream job for many – you ride motorcycle every day, you get to know amazing people and you get the chance to discover the most beautiful places on earth – who wouldn’t want such a job? However, there’s much more behind it. Being a tour guide is a real attitude to life. The key to our extraordinary team is our unique training approach. After our annual hearing with more than 400 applicants, we start our multi-day theory education with the ones who passed the hearing and then go over to our practical training. For this purpose, we developed a special training tour to prepare our tour guides-to-be for the “real life on the streets”. In addition, we have an annual training which includes special first-aid-courses. Safety on tour is our number one priority and we can guarantee this by giving our tour guides the best education and training possible.

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR TOUR GUIDES AND THEIR WORK Due to our philosophy, our tour guides are involved in important business decisions. Our tour guides help developing the annual tour program as well as the individual tours.

WHY EDELWEISS

SIX GOOD REASONS FOR AN EDELWEISS TOUR 1

ROUTES which are as unique as life itself. On amazing roads which lead us to beautiful places with a lot of hidden highlights. A journey which you’ll probably never forget in your life.

4 MOTORCYCLES You have the agony of choice with a variety of the latest HARLEY-DAVIDSON® models. Regular maintenance, ABS and a packing system are self-evident.

2 TOUR GUIDES with a profound education, a great personality, an infectious smile and the ability to read every wish from your lips.

5 PERSONAL FREEDOM is really important to us. We want to make your journey a full success, because it is your precious time. This means that on nearly all of our tours you can decide whether you want to ride with the tour guide and the group, with a small group of your choice or all alone. Feel free and independent!

3 ACCOMMODATION which is hand-picked and simply lovely. Sometimes our accommodation is traditional and sometimes modern – but in any case, it is personal and tailormade for the respective tours.

10

6 SAFETY! Your safety is our top priority for us on tour. We lay the foundation for this with our annual first-aid-courses for the tour guides, state of the art motorcycles, daily briefings as well as a thoughtout route choice and the right way of riding, adapted to conditions and drivers.

11

OUR FLEET

THE BIKE OF YOUR CHOICE

THE MOTORCYCLE – MIRROR OF YOUR OWN IDENTITY SHOW WHO YOU ARE A motorcycle is the expression of its rider’s identity. In order for you to find the right bike which fits you and your tour, we offer a great variety of H-D® models: Comfortable tourers, classic SOFTTAILS® or agile SPORTSTER® bikes. You will surely find your dream bike in our HARLEY-DAVIDSON® fleet.

HIGHEST SAFETY AND QUALITY STANDARDS Safety and quality are important – this is what you can see not only when looking at the size, but also at the condition of our bike pool.

To ensure the biggest riding fun possible, the top skilled mechanic team in our company-owned workshop takes care of the motorcycles before and after every tour.

12

TEST WHAT FITS YOU If you travel with us, a motorcycle is (normally) included. Of course, you always have the possibility to ride with your own bike, however, testing a new motorcycle model can also be fun. You are even thinking about buying a new model? Then grab the chance and test your dream bike on your next Edelweiss tour. Maybe you will find your new favourite motorcycle.

EDELWEISS TIP: On our homepage you can find more details concerning our current motorcycle models: WWW.EDELWEISSBIKE.COM

OUR FLEET Our motorcycle fleet is located in Tirol/Austria. This is where we service the motorcycles and supply all of our surrounding destinations Europe-wide, from Iceland to Morocco. For our tours overseas, we have long-time rental partners who provide us with their bikes.

HOW TO PACK

RIDING GEAR

C. E.

I PACK MY BAGS ...

Is it your first motorcycle holiday and you are unsure what to wear or are you travelling to unknown destinations and don’t know what to bring? No worries, we can help you with that! The right clothing and equipment add to your fun and safety on tour. Our first advice, check what the weather and temperature will be like in your touring destination – of course, the packing list varies depending on whether you are travelling to a tropically humid region or a colder area. Our general Edelweiss packing tip: We recommend what we call the “onion principle”: Wear one layer over the other, so you can take a layer off when getting too hot or put another layer on when getting too cold. Use functional high-tech garments instead of cotton. They keep you from sweating and dry quickly.

C. PROPER MOTORCYCLING BOOTS D. 2 PAIR OF GLOVES A warm and water-proof one for the colder and rainy days and a thinner one for hot days.

CASUAL CLOTHING

5. SOCKET ADAPTOR 6. PHOTO & VIDEO CAMERA EQUIPMENT 7. SUN PROTECTION

We recommend casual and dressy clothing and cushy shoes for the dinners and non-riding side programs.

Also, do not forget to bring a sweater and jacket as the nights may get chilly. Swimwear is good to have with you, too and bringing undies, socks, t-shirts and your tooth brush go without saying.

8. DICTIONARY 9. EARPLUGS 10. EDELWEISS TOUR INFORMATION PACKAGE

E. RAIN GEAR The weather on tour is unpredictable, and if it rains, you better be prepared.

Besides, rain gear is an essential item of your “Edelweiss onion principle”.

F. FUNCTIONAL WEAR WITH LONG SLEEVES A west and jumper or jacket just in case it gets cold. For potentially very cold destinations you may also want to think about bringing electrical heated gear, too.

7.

2. VALID DRIVER’S LICENCE Valid for the type of motorcycle you are riding and an international drivers licence if you are travelling abroad.

3. MONEY Credit card and local currency in cash. Be sure to inform your credit card company about your upcoming journey.

B. FULL PROTECTION RIDING GEAR We advise to wear leather or textile riding suits with protectors.

I.

1. VALID PASSPORT Valid for at least 6 months from the day of entry and a copy of it. Keep it in your pocket or save your travel documents digitally.

A. FULL FACE HELMETS are recommended for all tours. For EU tours the helmets need to be EC-certified.

All these questions will be answered by your tour guide. # THE TOUR – PURE RIDING PLEASURE After the briefing you can decide whether you want to spend the day together with the group or rather ride alone. The tour guide will guide you along a selected route, stops at breath-taking places and sights, provides you with regional insider information and makes sure that you get pictures of yourself at the most beautiful viewpoints. And you can spend a carefree day on tour! # ARRIVAL AT HOTEL Depending on the length of the riding day, you will have time to enjoy all the pleasures of the hotel or discover the area of the place you’re staying.

These are not just dreams – this is the real Sicily!

2,500 years ago, the Romans and Greeks built temples which are now perfect for sightseeing.

Concerning breath-taking motorcycle roads, however, mother nature has taken care of that all alone. Mankind just had to put the tar between the spectacular formations.

From bustling California with its beautiful coast and palm trees, we ride East to some of the nicest sceneries on earth. National parks like the Grand Canyon, Arches, Bryce and Zion are the highlights of this tour, but riding the famous Route 66 and seeing the lights of Las Vegas sparkle in the distance are just as memorable.

It seems as if all the pine tree forests, sparkling lakes and rivers, and mountain ranges of the world can be found here in the West of Canada. This spectacular ride through Alberta and British Columbia will leave you with 2,000 miles of memories. The Canadian Rockies are at the northern end of the North American Rocky Mountain range and run through two of Canada’s provinces: Alberta and British Columbia. However, cities like Banff and Jasper will make you feel as if you were in the Great White North. The famous Icefields Parkway with its snow-capped mountains is surrounded by clear blue water and large glaciers. Not only does this part of North America offer excellent sightseeing, but also the curvy roads and beautiful views will allow you to enjoy your motorcycle tour to the fullest.

Friendly people, exotic animals and motorcycle roads in a breath-taking scenery is what we can expect from the country at the Cape of Good Hope. On our motorcycle tour we won’t skip any of these highlights. In the Drakensbergs, at the edge of Blyde River Canyon, roaring waterfalls will be waiting for us. We will enjoy the view at “God’s window” and experience exciting hours in the camp in Kruger national park. While having lunch under a sky full of stars, we can hear lions roaring nearby. Our luggage will already be in our comfortable chalets when we arrive at the Zulu village and the locals will welcome us with dances.

Oriental bazaars, massive mountains, camels, souks, endless desert, exotic spices, outstanding roads – this is Morocco! The tour starts in Andalusia, but the ferry ride to Africa is already scheduled for the first riding day. Right away we start with some major highlights: the Rif Mountains with their motorcycle roads and the ancient city of Fes, the Atlas Mountains and, eventually, the Sahara. Your dream of riding a camel across sand dunes can come true here. After the desert, we cross the Atlas again and ride to Marrakech, our next highlight. From Marrakech, the route leads us North again and soon we cross the border back to Europe. Two more riding days to and around Ronda, a beautiful old city among numerous twisty mountain roads, then our tour ends in Málaga.

ASIA EXPERIENCE ASIA HAPPY PEOPLE & AMAZING MOUNTAIN REGIONS When you hear Asia, most of you will probably think of palm beaches, spicy food, wonderful hotels, good weather ... and a lot of friendly and happy people.

However, most people don’t think of the stunning mountain regions. And by mountains we mean a breath-taking scenery and, especially for us motorcycle riders, a lot of nice, curvy roads with riding fun up and down. Even though it’s a bit hectic sometimes: Discover this “nice chaos” and immerse into this exotically different world.

Northern Vietnam may not be as popular a tourist destination as the beaches of the South or the nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City, but if you decide to travel on two wheels, the mountainous North is the place to go. Breath-taking scenery, diverse cultural attractions and stunningly twisty roads make this HARLEY® tour a very special one. Of course, our itinerary includes some beautiful beaches, as we follow the coast northward from DaNang. Along the Ho Chi Minh Trail we continue North, into the mountains, where the roads seem to be made for motorcycles. Stunning rides across mountain passes and along fertile valleys, past rice fields and bustling, colourful Sunday markets, that’s what this tour is all about.
