Yes. Louise and Scott specialize in bespoke itineraries. Whether you want an extra night in Palm Springs, a detour to Death Valley, or a side trip to Napa Valley, they’ll create a personalized plan and update your quote immediately.
What riding license and experience do I need?
Riders must hold a full, valid motorcycle licence for their chosen bike category. A minimum of two years’ riding experience is recommended, especially for navigating highways and desert terrain. Louise and Scott can advise on bike sizes and offer training recommendations if needed.
