Half Day Ride Out on a Genuine USA Police Harley-Davidson

Riding one of the world’s most majestic bikes is one thing. Add in spectacular scenery, flowing roads and formidable turns from one of the UK’s most breath-taking national parks makes it another entirely. Discover the power behind a genuine USA Police Harley-Davidson as you spend a half day traversing either the dramatic valleys of the Peak District National Park or the rolling hills of the South Downs.

Breathe in the fresh air over 50 miles across the open roads, experiencing the feel and sound of this iconic bike first-hand. You’ll be fully briefed by a qualified rider, who’ll lead you through tried-and-tested roads, so there’s no worrying about where to go – you’re free to concentrate on enjoying the ride of a lifetime.

What's Included?

• Half day ride out on a genuine USA Police Harley-Davidson for one
• More than 50 miles of independent riding
• Route led by a fully qualified expert
• Certificate, pin badge and car sticker

What happens on the day?

On arrival, you’ll need to complete some paperwork and show two forms of ID. Bring your usual riding gear with you – if you’d prefer to use an open-face helmet, this can be provided free of charge.

The controls of the Harley-Davidson may differ from what you’re used to, so there’ll be plenty of time to familiarise yourself before you set off. 50 miles of spectacular country roads, staggering scenery, and snaking bends are yours to enjoy, all from the viewpoint of your bike. You’ll make stops along the way to take in the views, have a drink, and tuck into lunch (not included), and there’ll be plenty of opportunities to take photos, too. Back at the start, you’ll receive a certificate, pin badge and car sticker as mementos of an unforgettable ride.

What should I wear?

Given the height of the hills you'll ride through they often encounter the odd shower. The rides go ahead anyway, and the motorcycle clothing swill prevent you from getting a soaking. If there is snow or ice on the roads they will postpone the event and you will be offered an alternative date.
