What an experience!!! That’s all I can say about Irish Motorcycle Adventures. The process was completely painless and the experience was one I will never forget. I am in the Military stationed in Iraq and had very little to no communication but Stephen and I emailed each other back and forth and made all the arrangements for the 7 day West Coast Ireland tour. After arriving in Belfast for my first couple of days, Stephen emailed me and said he would come pick me up at the hotel for my self-guided tour. He was on time and very pleasant. After showing me the BMW GS 1200, he familiarised me with the Garmin Zumo GPS and showed me the routes and accommodations for each day. After moving my belongings around to the baggage compartments, Stephen helped me get accustomed to riding on the left side of the road by accompanying me to a spot a few miles away from his wonderful establishment. His wonderful selection of routes along my West Coast trip was impressive. The routes he selected are the perfect combination of sightseeing and the amount of time to ride during the day to see as much as you want to see. He included key tourist attractions within the GPS if I wanted to stray off course a little and having the convenience of a motorcycle allowed me to stop anywhere I wanted to sightsee. The accommodations for each night were also amazing. They included a combination of areas that have lots of history and wonderful views. The motorcycle was great and never missed a beat. I would highly recommend Stephen and Irish Motorcycle Adventures for any trip around Ireland. If I ever make it back there again, I will be giving Stephen a call. Great Job Stephen!!! Thanks for all your help in making my short time in Ireland something I will never forget.

I cannot stress enough how great Irish Motorcycle Adventures is for touring Ireland on a motorbike, their staff were courteous, informative, and trustworthy. They graciously gave us a free lift out of Dublin, which meant we didn't have to learn to "drive on the left" in the chaos of the big city. They met with us to explain everything about the bike and suggest places we might want to see, even though we were touring on our own (as we had requested). In all of this, there were no hidden charges or fees; everything they promised us, Irish Motorcycle Adventures delivered (and then some). We never had ANY problems with the bike, even though we toured over 1,000 miles in 9 days. Irish Motorcycle Adventures clearly gave careful consideration to the type of bike that would work best for navigating the twisty, sometimes unpaved, roads of Ireland. We often escaped the crush of the tourist crowd by dodging onto back roads, which is something you can't do with a cruiser-style bike. If you want the freedom of the road and the assurance of a dependable dealer, Irish Motorcycle Adventures should be your only call.

The Grand Tour of Ireland was one of the greatest experience of my life. I had dreamed of going on a motorcycle tour some time in my life but felt it was out of my reach. I can only say I wish I would not have waited so long. The scenery in Ireland was incredible; the greens were truly emerald and the blues of the ocean were beyond compare. The leadership on the tour had a lot of background in motorcycling and with guiding these multi-person tours. I went on the trip as a single but connected with great new friends from other parts of the world and the U.S. immediately upon arrival. The milage each day seemed to fit perfectly into a scenic approach to motorcycling. I am watching for the listings of the tours for the new season with great anticipation.

I had flexible dates for a visit to Ireland and contacted Irish Motorcycle Adventures. He picked me up from the airport, hired me a fabulous motorbike, gave me all the best routes and advice and I joined my chums touring the North coast. Excellent scenery, perfect weather and good company...what more could you want? Great service, and thanks for all your help. I'll be back this summer.

Gary Savage, Surrey, UK.

A great experience from start to finish ! Nothing was a problem and from the airport pick-up to drop-off, Stephen's great, no fuss approach enabled us to relax and enjoy the trip. Stephen was more than happy to offer advice on potential routes and stop-overs, which really helped us get the most from our, only too brief, visit. Thanks and here's to next time !

Bruce Clague, Cambridge, UK.

What a grand trip! You and your wife were wonderfully accommodating. The tour suggestions were right up our alley and the bike was very well equipped. We liked the bike so well we bought an '04 when we got back to the States! Loved the GPS feature.

Arizona West, Missouri, USA.

I would be delighted to recommend Irish Motorcycle Adventures - Stephen was more than happy to answer our questions/queries before the trip, the service was outstanding including airport pick up/drop off etc, the bikes were in perfect condition with fitted sat nav's - coastal/tourist routes all installed. We had a fantastic trip, Ireland is a bikers dream. Superb!

Mike Porteous, Perth UK.

Great host, lots of good roads, ideas and a fun itinerary, the 11 day Around Ireland self guided tour is highly recommended.

Lee Williams, Santa Cruz, California, USA.

Very accommodating, I got the dates wrong and there was no additional charge for rescheduling. He picked me up on time, very friendly. The bike was set up nice with a tank bag and GPS. I have been on many tours and this may be one of the best! When I ride Scotland, I will rent the bike, from Irish Motorcycle Adventures.

David Edinger, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

It was a pleasure to work with Stephen of IrishBike.com. He showed up on time, with the two well-maintained BMW GS's we had reserved, and he was helpful and supportive throughout. I can recommend Irish Motorcycle Adventures without reservation.

James Wesolowski, Washington, DC, USA.

Travelling Ireland on the back of a very well prepared BMW GS from Irish Motorcycle Adventures was an amazing experience. Stephen took much care to let this trip become just perfect. When our Garmin GPS got damaged during the trip when we were many miles from his base he stopped by the very next morning to replace it. We had just a great time, thanks Stephen.

Oliver Neumann, Potsdam, Germany.

Just a note to say I really appreciated the service you offer, and the bike was "top notch". I would, and will, let people know about the positive experience that I had using your service.

Andrew Colburn, Vancouver, Washington, USA.

Those of you wanting to go on a biking trip with a rented bike in Ireland you are in good hands at Irish Motorcycle Adventures. Stephen makes you feel at home immediately, gets you acquainted with the bike - there is no better way to get started. That's the moment you realise your decision to rent your bike from this place has been right. Stephen's recommendations concerning nice routes and places to go are fantastic and best of all, most of it is at your fingertips with those routes already stored in the first class satellite navigation systems mounted on the bikes. With hindsight it was one of the coolest tours we have undertaken. We warmly recommend Irish Motorcycle Adventures service orientation and his bikes in absolutely pristine condition to any passionate biker. You literally can't do business in a better way and being the customer you really feel comfortable. Go for it guys, you will not regret it.

Christian and Stefan, ‘The Bavarians’, Munich, Germany.

I really appreciated your trust when my associate was delayed in arriving in Dublin and you agreed to deliver both his and my hired motorcycles to me in his absence. You also did me quite a favour by driving both bikes around the hotel on crowded Dublin streets to the parking area. As I am used to driving on the right side of the road, this saved me some initial stress. You carefully explained the features of the hired BMW bikes and answered all my questions. Our week-long motorcycle tour of the northern region of the Emerald Isle was a wonderful, scenic and unforgettable experience. We had no problems with the hired bikes and we were confident, in any case, we could contact you for resolution of any issues. On our return to Dublin, you met us, as agreed, at our hotel. Upon collecting our hired bikes, you cheerfully wished us well. All in all, our experience with you and Irish Bike was exceptionally positive and smooth. I would recommend you and your business to anyone wishing to hire a motorcycle for touring in Ireland.

I hired a BMW GS 1200 from irish Motorcycle Adventures to ride right around Ireland solo in July-August 2009. Stephen delivered it exactly when he said he would, and his wife had already made sure by email I had a list of hotels that suited my needs in Belfast. The bike was in perfect condition, the panniers had all the room I needed for all my gear and I was even offered a selection of seats to ensure I was comfortable and the bike suited my leg stretch. He knew what I wanted to do and set up the GPS with routes that showed me glorious places I probably wouldn't have been able to find myself. He also suggested a terrific and very remote pub where I stayed on my first leg of the journey. I rode more than 2000 kilometres, mostly around the coast, and the machine never missed a beat. And even if something had gone awry (unlikely on a bike like this), I knew all I had to do was call and help would be on the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Irish Motorcycle Adventures, and I hope to come back and do it all again some day.

Ireland is a very nice place. And there are nice and reliable people like Stephen and Linzi. The booking via internet worked perfectly. The lodgings recommended by Linzi were great. Stephen picked us up at the hotel and we could receive perfectly prepared Bikes with lots of storage place for our luggage. Before starting our trip around Ireland Stephen gave us some Information about places of interest. Equipped with Garmin Zumo GPS we have had no problems, to find all of them. Our first intention was to visit Mr. Finn McCool, but he was not at home. Anyway, we were impressed with giants causeway. To ride a bike makes thirsty. Bushmills Distillery was able to help us. The next few days we passed many wonderful coastal-places like Donegal and Achill Island before we came to the imposing Cliffs of Moher. The next travel destination was Dingle, and we can say, the two days in Dingle have been great, not alone because Fungi, the Dingle Bay Dolphin expected us with a show. After driving around the Ring of Kerry our next target was Midleton. Time flies above all if driving around Ireland with a bike. And so we had after 11 days with unforgettable impressions and all kind of weather to bring back the bikes to Stephens home. After we had met our good friend Arthur Guinness in his storehouse and we had crafted The Perfect Pint of Guinness, our Job in Ireland was done and we could return to good old Austria, a wonderful place too, especially for bikers.

The service was good, and the bike ran great. I would not hesitate to use your bikes again if I decide to visit Ireland on another one of my trips. I would recommend anyone that is thinking of doing a bike tour of Ireland contact Irish Motorcycle Adventures to ensure that they get good bikes and even better service.

Billy Schuessler, Greenville, Texas, USA.

Thanks for all your help in making my trip to Ireland a great experience. Your assistance in booking the motorcycle, answering all my questions, delivering and picking up the motorcycle, and providing a motorcycle that ran perfectly added to a great week trip. I will definitely book again with you and recommend you to anyone I know.

Gregory Duval, Provo, Utah, USA.
