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

  We had booked a one-day trip including tourguide - but it was even more: Kris took us from Las Palmas through the North to the Northwest of Gran Canaria -... read more then we left the coastline behind us and we went up on tiny & curvy but well paved mountain raods to the inner areas of the island. Short stopps for picture taking, a coffee and a lunch break were included. Kris is a perfect rider to visit off the beaten path roads, get great impressions of the island and have a safe Feeling all day long. The bike was in perfect shape as both - father & son (Kris and Robert) run a family business with great passion and 'the big-twin-heart'. Thank you for the ride on Gran Canaria!

  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.

  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

  El pasado sábado dia 11 de octubre fue uno de los días mas especiales de mi vida, Touring Ride me ayudo a conseguir hacer realidad el sueño de una persona... read more muy especial para mi, montar en una Harley, me puse en contacto con ellos y contrate una ruta por la zona centro Norte de Gran Canaria. Yo sabia que seria algo genial pero sin duda superaron con creces mis expectativas. Una ruta de medio día amena, apasionante por los rincones más bellos de mi tierra y sobretodo con el placer de contar con personas con un trato sin igual, krister y su hijo Robert nos trataron en todo momento como familia, nos hicieron sentir cómodos, seguros, su dominio de las H.D. Su experiencia, su trato cordial y amigable hicieron de ese día un día inolvidable y se forjó una amistad que sin duda perdurara en el tiempo.
Una experiencia cien por cien recomendada que sin duda repetiré. TODOS LOS DETALLES PENSADOS, una ruta adaptada al cliente y la confianza de estar en manos de profesionales. Solo me queda decir GRACIAS!!!! Aquí ya tienes dos amigos sergio y lorena

  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.

  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!

  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!
