Hello and welcome to our first newsletter of 2010.
Once again, we've got some exciting new tours for your, as well as our extablished programme of world-beating tours and hire.
First off, a final reminder that our 15th anniversary January Special is our Roof of the World adventure to Tibet. We still have a couple of places left, and our offer finishes on 31 January, so if you want a truly amazing tour at a fantastic price, don't delay.
Our February special offer is our travel insurance, and you will get 15% off all policies booked online through www.bikerstravelinsurance.co.uk throughout the month.
Also next month, for the first time, H-C Travel will be attending the MCN Motorcycle Show at Excel in London, 4-7 February. We look forward to meeting as many of you there as we can - stand number N149. We'll be featuring our new South Africa tours (see below) and our world-beating US tours and rentals, but will be happy to talk to you about all of our destinations, from Canada to New Zealand via South America and Asia.
Now, onto our news!
If you are looking to tighten your belts in 2010, and feel that a longhaul tour is stretching the budget a little, then how about doing a little something different for charity. This September sees the first ever charity motorbike ride to the Ukraine, to raise funds for two charities working in the Ukraine in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. As well as seeing some of the work they do, you'll also get to go to the largest bike rally in the Ukraine, with an 'interesting' collection of bikes! For more info please check out to http://www.bike2ukraine.com. We think this is a most worthy cause, with ALL of the money you raise going to charity.
On the back of our most successful year in South Africa and the forthcoming World Cup, we are launching two brand new tours of South Africa, both using exclusively Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Both tours are flight-inclusive, with late model motorbikes, a support vehicle and excellent accommodation. As Arnie once famously said 'I love this place!'
The first tour, the Cape Classic, does what is says - classic Cape rides, classic Cape scenery, classic Cape hospitality, we've even thrown in whales, elephants and ostriches for you! Dates are 23 Oct - 06 Nov 2010.
Our second tour is the Wild at Heart tour. This is a first - a motorcycle tour of Kwazulu Natal and Mpualanga in the eastern side of the country. Once again, fabulous scenery and accommodation are mixed with a range of exciting things to do, and we finish off with a 3-day / 2-night safari (Wild at Heart!, but without actors and TV film crew ...). Dates are 04 - 19 March 2011.
And finally - book any of our 2010 tours now (the USA, India and Peru are this month's current best sellers) and you might benefit from some of the excellent recession-busting flight prices that we have available. They won't be there for ever, so don't delay, book your dream motorbike holiday now.
Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2010 from all of us at H-C Travel.
