Summary: A fully guided, round-trip tour through France, Belgium, Germany and Italy to the H-D European Spring Rally Senigallia, Italy
Rather than simply blast down the motorway, we have chosen some of the best routes in Europe to find our way to Senigallia, Italy. Our route covers France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, threading together some of the best ribbons of tarmac we can find. The routes focus on the extraordinary quality of the journey, not just getting there.
We will spend 5 days winding our way to near the Rally site at Senigallia and 3 days on our return journey to the Eurotunnel at Calais.
This Euro festival is in addition to the main H.O.G. Rally in Cascais, Portugal. It is the perfect launch your 2026 riding season in style!
Due to the popularity of the Rally, the places on this trip are likely to sell out very quickly. We have already secured all hotel bedrooms for the Tour.
Description
The tour has everything you could wish for! Our routes include riding great roads beside rivers and lakes, through rolling hills, forests and low alpine passes and scenic coastal roads. You will go from sitting back enjoying the panoramic views to being challenged on switchback passes all in the same day. Throughout the whole tour we are staying in comfortable 3 and 4 Star Hotels.
What's even better is that we are ultimately heading to a hugely popular Harley-Davidson Rally on the Adriatic Coast in Italy, with hundreds of friendly Harley-Davidson riders!
The Rally will have live bands, dealer stands, demonstration rides, custom bikes, bars, food outlets, merchandise and more! The setting on the Italian coast is not exactly awful either!
If you want to go to the Rally with other like-minded people, ride wonderful and scenic roads, with someone else making all the arrangements, then riding with HD-Tours is for you. Let us take away all the stress so you can enjoy the whole experience.

Information
- Our group sizes normally range from 10 to 14 motorcycles.
- Each day, we normally start riding at 8.30am and aim to be at our day's destination by 5-6pm having covered in the region of 200 miles. We try to avoid motorways wherever possible and only use these when there is no real alternative or where making progress gets us to better roads.
- We take mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks and of course find somewhere for lunch
- We use good quality hotels – normally 3 and 4-star.
- We ride at a pace to suit all of the riders. We stick to all speed limits as this is the best experience to keep the group together. We generally ride in staggered convoy on straighter roads.
- As we have pre-booked hotels and a schedule to stick to, we ride in all weathers. During any exceptionally inclement weather, we will pull over for short periods. IF the weather is truly biblical we may turn off the scenic routes and onto motorways. We could experience a range of different types of weather, so bring waterproofs, just in case.
- We like these tours to be about having a real adventure, riding on great roads with like-minded people. For that reason, we do not use a support van, but we always have a back-marker.
- Payments – we require a £400 deposit to be paid when you book a tour, with the balance to be paid in four equal payments, 8, 6, 4 and 2 months before the tour starts. If you prefer, you can pay the balance of the cost of the tour earlier than this.
- *Ride Difficulty Rating. All our tours are rated for skill/difficulty; this tour is rated BLUE / RED*.
- While there is not much motorway riding on the tour, as a guide, the group will be riding at speeds of 75mph on motorways. You must be confident of riding in rain and on wet roads.
- If you are at all unsure if your riding ability is good enough for this tour, please contact us by telephone or email to discuss.
