About club-moto and us...

How the dream turned into a real life adventure

We, Mark and Marishka, always had a dream to create a unique motorcycle tour company in order to share our fantastic riding experiences.

We've travelled extensively throughout Europe over the years, covering many thousands of miles, either just the two of us or with a group of friends on a wide range of motorcycles from sports bikes to adventure bikes and everything in-between.

In 2017 we took the plunge and club-moto was born. Our concept was to provide tours with everything that we believe bikers could want for an exhilarating and engaging trip.

The questions we asked ourselves when club-moto was being formed were:

Wouldn't it be fantastic if...

  • routes, ferries/tunnel, hotels, lunch, coffee and fuel stops were all sorted for us?
  • the routes were designed and researched with bikers in mind: empty roads, smooth tarmac?
  • there was a support van to take our bags so we could ride luggage-free and provide help for small problems?
  • the tour was fully-guided with one bike leading and a tail marker so we could ride at our own pace?
  • we could meet like-minded bikers, both solo and pillion?
  • the tours were relaxed and friendly to give us peace of mind and confidence?

The answers provided us with the building blocks for club-moto...

This involved...

Many, many hours poring over maps, both paper and on-screen, planning attractive, challenging and rewarding routes from scratch for like-minded bikers. We covered thousands of miles researching and testing roads, quality hotels and stops to ensure that our routes and stopovers are, as near as possible, perfect for motorcycles. We actively sought out empty, quality roads, avoiding motorways, major cities, and, where possible, major trunk roads.

Our dream came true... club-moto fully-guided motorcycle tours!.

Mark Titterton: “My love affair with motorbikes started when I was 15 and I've since owned countless bikes. I worked as a despatch rider in the '80s, toured Europe extensively from moped days and haven't stopped! I currently ride a BMW S1000rr and others.

I could never, ever imagine not having a motorbike – they're in my blood!”

Marishka Temple: “ I've ridden thousands of miles as a pillion on all sorts of bikes including: BMW RT, XJR, Buell, Triumph Sprint, BMW XR and BMW S1000rr.

I never tire of the thrill of setting off on our next trip. For me, riding abroad is the best way to experience a country, away from the main roads, into stunning scenery and, best of all, practically having the road to yourself!

I reckon I'm pretty well-qualified to recommend our tours to other pillions!”
