Welcome to Alba Motorcycle Tours - Scotland
As you can tell from the name we don’t go into Europe,
so no need for boats or trains if your on the UK mainland!
We only want to show you our magnificent country and all it has to offer, from hills & glens, spectacular rugged scenery, some stunning roads, monsters & haggis (Neither guaranteed ) & find where the ‘golden nectar’ is really made!
Excluding your run to and from our start/finish points its
4 days of motorcycling happiness (sorry but we can’t control the weather)
Every day is fully on tarmac, with parking at all our hotels where we start every day on a full breakfast.
Who are we?
My history is one of selling cars/buses for major manufacturers, so I won’t accept anything substandard and don’t expect you to either! Drove coach tours with tourists from all round the world, so I have been on every road we go on at some point - may I say some by mistake with a 14mtr coach!
My biking history is fairly varied, Aprillia Falco & RSV’s,
GXR 1000’s, Bennelli 900rs and currently BMW GSA.
Toured Europe (groups and individually) & UK.
I have a philosophy keep it simple, life can be challenging but on the bike its all good:- ride bike, drink coffee, eat food, meet good folk & maybe have a laugh or two - simple!
