Welcome to Touring Ride!

  I was on the Gran Canaria Island for work , not sure if I would have any days off . I managed to get a day off and looked into... read more a Motorcycle tour , Harley Davidson of course . This was an experience I'll remember til the day I die even though I've been riding for 35 + years in the USA and even Hawaii . Krister took us thru some of the mountains and beaches I've ever seen . Krister is also an amazing man to talk with and generally hang around . The towns we stopped at and drove thru were fantastic . Lunch was also a real experience . But the riding was truly a unique experience . The Harley's my co workers/friends rode were in the best shape with low miles . All I can say is MAKE THE TIME to go on one of Krister's tours .... you will never forget it !
Thanks Krister . Bill O'Brien,Jr , Baltimore ,Maryland , USA

  I was wondering before the trip that how in earth a service like this can get just 5* feedback. I don't wonder anymore. We had awesome days with Krister. First... read more day we spent on the curvy roads, a lot of sightseeing places to stop and enjoy. Krister always told more info about the places as well when we had stopped our bikes. And the motorcycling itself, that was fun! We have had winter in Finland, no driving since early October....So it was NICE! And weather conditions in Gran Canaria were excellent.
Not to forget that we had lunch and 3 other stops for coffee or other soft drinks. Lunch was also very good in that restaurant. Fish soup, chicken cordon bleu and tiramisu.
Second day Krister was free so he joined to have lunch tapas with me in the city of Las Palmas. We had long discussions and a lot of fun. After all I can say that if you have a possibility to book the HD touring, DO IT. You will not regret it afterwards....

Thanks about your super hospitality and nice touring experience!
Cheers

  I did a 50 day tour of Europe last winter and this was the absolute highlight of my trip. Gran Canaria is a biker's paradise and this tour was outstanding.... read more The tour is extremely professional and the motorcycles are in perfect condition. Krister is the best guide I have ever had and his love of the Canary Islands is quite obvious. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough. If you have the opportunity to ride with Krister, do not miss it. It is a once in a lifetime experience. I really hope I will have the chance to return and do another trip with Krister.

  Two of travelled from Australia to Gran Canaria for business. Our client in Pas Palmas rides a Harley and suggested we hire hire a couple of bikes and go... read more for a ride. We ended up arranging a full day tour with Krister of Touring Ride. We covered around 170km of varying roads travelling from Las Palmas down the east coast on great highway roads, through tourist towns, partly up the west coast then across the top of the island up to almost 2,000 meters altitude. Our day lasted around 7 hours and Krister was a fantastic host and guide. He looked after us and fed us well.
The bikes were in pristine condition, the scenery and roads were fantastic and the weather was just perfect. The posters and photos in Krister's workshop/garage shows he is a long-term true Harley Davidson enthusiast.
If you can ride a big bike and would like a day to truly remember for all the right reasons don't hesitate to contact Krister and Robert and book a tour - you wont regret it.

  I booked this bike tour thinking that I would be riding in a group, but it turned out to be a private tour to the mountains. Krister was very helpful... read more and gave me advice how to get from Maspalomas to Las Palmas with a right bus. He collected me from the bus station.

The bike was in a perfect condition and clean. The biking gear were clean and in a good shape.

We headed towards the mountain in the northern part if the island. The roads were empty and mostly in a good shape. Those couple of bad places Krister gave me a pre-warning. The landscape is very beautiful and totally different from the southern part of the island. It was quite cool when the curvy road took as above the clouds that were above the ocean to the north from Gran Canaria. We stopped for coffee, lunch and many times just to look the great views. The day was quite long but worth the every minute of it.

I can fully recommend this to all fellow Harley bikers but why not for other bikers as well. 🙂

  Nosotros hicimos la ruta en verano, mi chica me dió la sorpresa. Krister desde el principio ha tenido un trato inmejorable.
Días después de la ruta le mandé un email... read more para agradecerle ese día tan especial que fue para nosotros.
Es como si sales de ruta con un amigo, al poco de estar con él parece que le conoces desde hace tiempo, un gran motero.
No se puede decir nada malo de él ni de sus motos perfectas y limpias.
Volveremos a vernos en nuestra próxima visita o en alguna ruta de las que organiza en la península.

  Great roads, bikes, food and company.
Must give 10+ points.
Thank you for the absolutely fantastic day.
