Customers said about our tours:

Dave,

We are home in Western Australia at last after our time in Yorkshire some time with our kids and grand kids in France.  It's good to be back, but we really enjoyed ourselves whilst we were away.

I have to say that the service we received from you at D & C Classic Motor Cycles was above and beyond what would be normally expected.  The bikes were very well suited to touring in the dales, they were in fine condition and went very well throughout the week, even if Alexander's did have a mind of her own about starting!  Your kindness both on the day we picked them up in the rain (we live in the desert so that was quite a new experience for us) and again when we returned them and Simon needed some advice about his bike was greatly appreciated.  We will be back in the future.  Thanks again,

Dear Dave,

Sat on the aeroplane making my way down to Brazil, I was just reflecting on the wonderful day out we had last Saturday (9th April 2011) on your Dales / Green Lane tour.

The Harley’s were perfect for the job and the organisation of the 10 hour day was impeccable, even to the point of swapping bikes when mine unfortunately punctured with just 20 miles to go from the 180 miles that I calculated that we rode on the day.

We were very lucky with the weather which turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far but even without, the company of the three guys including you, the scenery and route, punctuated by the interesting stop-offs with their local history and watering holes made it a day to remember.

If anyone needs a day away from emails, mobile phones etc, I can’t think of a better way to spend some quality time and get some real value for money.

I hope to join you again sometime !

Cheers, Graham

Dear Dave,

Sitting here wading through hundreds of e-mails reminded me to thank you for such an enjoyable time last week-end exploring the Yorkshire Dales on your 2 day guided tour. The Hartley Davidson MT350 ex-Army bikes we hired from you were perfect for the job and the B&B you arranged was of a really high standard.

The Dales are stunning as everyone knows but your encyclopaedic knowledge of the area linking up all the little minor byways made the experience unique and is something nobody can work out by simply looking at a map. I was amazed that we hardly ever saw another vehicle on the routes you took us, which was such a contrast to the very busy A roads we encountered occasionally around the tourist “hotspots”.

I managed to feel totally relaxed as the thrill of being on the bike made me forget all about the day to day challenges of my normal working life and your organisational skills combined with a natural easy going charm and sense of humour made it an unforgettable break which we will definitely repeat next year. Finally, it was great value for money given the 2 days you spent with us and how easy you made everything – all we had to do was turn up, jump on the bikes and follow you for a “one off” biking adventure. Eat your hearts out Ewan and Charlie!  

I look forward to receiving the photos and can’t wait for next year

Regards

Giles Kendall

Subject: Thank you for a brilliant day out!

Dear Dave

I would like to say a massive thank you for the brilliant ride out I had on the Dales and Green Lanes trip on 7th August. This will stay in my memory as one of the best day's out I have had. Even though I have always lived not far from the areas we toured around it is amazing to see how many roads and lanes there are to travel on and places to go to. You certainly know the area very well to find all these exciting places to ride around!

I have attached some pictures from our day out for you to see and certainly hope to do another tour with you in the future.

Thanks again

Mike Dickson

Hello Dave

I would like to thank you for a fantastic day out last Saturday 7th August.

I've now lived in Yorkshire for 25 years but never seen the Dales in that way before. You took us to places I'd never seen or even heard of, and what fantastic scenery.

Crosscounty riding was something I always wanted to do and some of those 'Green Lanes' were amazing needing a lot of concentration, determination and grit!
But what a ride. We had 'some rain' but nothing to worry about. It added to the experience.

Some of the places you took us to I found very interesting especially Gardale Station (I enjoyed telling everyone this morning the story about the statue of Ruswarp the dog) and our visit to Tan Hill Inn, (the highest Inn in the country). Good food as well!

The many Dales, rivers and tributary's we passed were beautiful and I must try and find them again sometime. (Maybe another ride?) There is nothing and nowhere to compare with the Yorkshire Dales (God's on Country).Fantastic place and the best way to see it is on a bike, in my opinion.

I was surprised that the Harley Davidson 350 was so comfortable, yet so robust.I enjoyed riding it immensely and the experience of standing up and letting the bike bounce up and down underneath you was one hell of a thrill. The more you did it the easier it got!

Once again, thank you for a great day, I could certainly recommend it to anyone who likes biking, its an experience to remember. With possibly the odd aching muscle the next day, its most certainly worth it.


Kind regards

Roy

Hello Dave,

Sept 2010 Guided TourJust a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the ride out on Saturday. Your knowledge of the area was fantastic, as was the scenery. The green lanes were a pleasure to ride on the MT350 and I can't think of a better way to blow away the cobwebs.

Will definiteley be having a return visit.

Cheers, Andy
