ROADBOOK & TRAVEL INFORMATION

WHO THE ROADBOOK PACKAGE IS USEFUL FOR:
- in case you would like to visit new places riding your motorcycles on your own (you can also rent one: on our pages, you will find how & where to rent a motorcycle).
If so, you can choose one of our exciting trips and order its Rooadbook. The digital files included in it will allow you to follow the trip in freedom and, as you like.
You will only have to book a hotel where to overnight. For that, just use the 'Hotel Search Window' displayed also on our pages, where you can compare different accommodations and prices and book the right one you like best. (If you need you can also book flights there).
Organizing your journey in this way, as to say "Self-guided and self-organized", you will be able to visit more places and attractions spending less money!

TRAVEL INFORMATION:
Departure dates: Trips are "self-driven". That means they are not pre-organized group trips, but individual ones, so you can start on the date that is more convenient for you, no need to adapt to prefixed dates.
How many days does a tour take: Actually our trips are not divided into days, we describe here the whole journey for each tour. You can divide it on your own as you like or as your need, otherwise you can also send us a request by email, and we will prepare a day-per-day version of it with all the required files: see below "Roadbook with customized itinerary"

To place your order, you must be registered. Please, use a correct email address because the Roadbook Package will be sent to your registration email.

Our "Roadbook" is a package that includes ALL the files that can be requested by the various apps in the case of a smartphone / tablet or by GPS navigators to display a route.

2 - File .KMZ to display the route on Google Earth (free download from the net), and also file .kml;
3 - Universal .GPX file for GPS devices, created from the original .kml file so it is extremely accurate.

On request, as a courtesy free service, we can adapt this file for you in case of Garmin or TomTom devices next generation;

Can you change the start and finish location of a tour when ordering the Roadbook?
Usually, you can change them. When ordering the Roadbook for a tour, on the yellow Roadbook-Order Label you may find 2 or even up to 3 options for the departure/arrival points (where it is available). The first option is the default one, described on the tour page while the second and third ones are just 2 more options for the same tour but with different departure/arrival points so you can choose the most convenient one for you to start out. The tour is the same, only the departure and the arrival points will be different from the default ones.

ROADBOOK WITH CUSTOMIZED ITINERARY:
If you wish to divide a tour that is published on this site into a day-per-day trip, and thus have the Roadbook Package with all the files divided day by day, you can send your request by email for the price. In case, we will provide you with all the files (.kml, .kmz, .gpx, high-resolution maps) divided by days, reporting also the daily kilometers to be done.
