Welcome to Touring Ride!

  We booked two tours with Rob & Krister - around the island and the mountains tour. This was definitely the highlight of our holiday. Fantastic scenery, Kris was great company,... read more made very welcome, very relaxed and nothing too much trouble, at the end of the second tour we felt we had made great friends for life. If you visit Gran Canaria - FIND THE TIME TO DO AT LEAST ONE TOUR!!!

  We rode with Robert around the beaches & mountain, what a fantastic day! A perfect way to have a taste of the island for newcomers. Riding along the coastline up... read more the cliffs and through small mountain villages is absolutely relaxing.

Robert is a really friendly and attentive guy, we had interesting chats, and learned about the people, cuisine and culture of the island(s).

The bike was spotless, perfectly maintained and perfect for the island roads.

Definitely, we will repeat the experience next time we're around!

  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.

  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. 🙂

  The information received from Robert via email before our trip was good and very informative, this helped us to book the right day trip at a very short notice. Their... read more garage, from where we started, was easy to find, and is within walking distance (about 30 minutes) from Las Canterras beach, should you want to walk. Kris and Robert (father and son) welcomed us at the garage, where they keep their bikes, nice Harleys, for the trips. Completing the formalities, and getting the correct kit was quick and easy. We set off at 10am for 7 hour trip through the north of Gran Canaria, which included coffee and lunch stops. Kris does know the island very well and had a lot of information to share with us, one of the best ways to learn about the island, is a bike ride with him. We rode through Arucas (has it own rum distillery), Firgas (mineral springs and mineral water you will see on the shop shelves), Moya, Artenera (one of the highest villages with great mountain views), Tejeda, and Teror (with a world renown church - Basilica de Teror and also bottled spring water).
The whole day was very relaxing with nice roads to ride on and good company. Kris and Robert can do trips with 1-6 bikes at a time, and can also do week long and custom made tours. We highly recommend these guys for a fun way to see the islands. Although professionalism and safety comes first with them, they for sure know how the make it great fun. Many thanks Kris and Robert!

  Really enjoyed the ride - had an epic tour with Krister and Robert of the North of the Island (unfortunately I did not have more time to enjoy more days... read more touring with these guys).

The bikes were immaculate and well maintained, they quickly arranged a great tour to meet my short timescales, they were very welcoming and friendly, epically knowledgeable about the Island and very safe to ride with.

Gran Canaria is an epic place to enjoy a Harley Motorcycle Tour, the climate was superb and there is no better way to tour such a place than the freedom of a motorcycle.

Highly recommended!

  If you have experience with motorcycles this tour is a no brainer. I booked this as a surprise for my husband and we both loved it! Spending the... read more day riding around the island with Krister was a wonderful treat. We were also able to meet Robert, Krister's son and business partner. These two individuals take great pride in their business. This is evident in the quality of the bikes as well as the jackets, gloves and helmets. I was so impressed and so happy that I booked the day with Krister. The island is amazing but you truly see all the beauty on a bike. I could have done this tour multiple days. If ever back on the island I would book this tour with Krister again in a heartbeat. Just to note, this was a stop on a cruise we were traveling on Krister picked us up at the port and dropped us back off. It was very convenient.

  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 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!
