The purpose of Spyder Club’s trips is to ride a variety of motorcycles on some of Europe’s best roads in good company. As life for many is usually very busy we provide a time effective way of getting away on a bike for a long weekend or short break without the issues of travelling to get to where you want to ride. A 2 hour flight can have you in the Alps where Spyder Club’s motorcycles are waiting. Spyder Club make sure their guests enjoy themselves and return home with new friends and stories that make them smile!
Spyder Club put on events firstly for members but also encourage non-members to attend as it’s a good way of being introduced to the services we provide as well as being able to meet members and hear what they think of Spyder Club.
Members receive a 20% discount on trips and always get better rates on other events.
Spyder Club require anyone riding the fleet to be a competent motorcycle rider. As long as you are safe we will be happy to have you along. When riding in a group the leader makes sure everyone is going in the right direction but allows quicker riders to go ahead and the group waits for the slower which has never been more than a few minutes. Our terms and conditions provide further information.
Most Spyder Club trips will, unless otherwise stated, provide accommodation, dinner with drinks, breakfast and lunch. The bikes will be waiting at the arrival destination and come with fully comprehensive insurance and fuel for the trip route. There is also a lead bike and support van with spare bike provided.
Spyder Club encourage like minded motorcyclists and usually run groups of 4 to 6 guests who have never met before. The whole point of being on a Spyder Club event is good experiences in good company. Our guests make friends whilst with us and leave feeling that their riding has improved. We have had many guests return several times within a year. We also play our part and make sure everyone is happy.
As long as a pillion is happy to sit on the back of the bikes we provide they are very welcome.
Yes, we have tour operators insurance for guest’s peace of mind.
Members pay an excess of up to £750 and non-members £1,000 unless otherwise stated.
Personal Travel insurance which allows you to ride motorcycles over 500cc, all your motorcycle gear including wet weather, even though we head for the sun! A European Health Insurance card is also recommended and both parts of your driving licence.
Riding is discussed prior to bookings being taken as we don’t want guests damaging bikes because of irresponsible riding. We then brief the group prior to any riding on how we operate and what we expect. We also brief each morning and discuss any issues and the route. Fast riding isn’t a problem as long as it’s safe and in the right situation. Any riders not complying will be asked to leave and a refund won’t be offered!
If it’s on the spot then you’ll need to deal with it. If we get a postal speeding fine it will be sent on to you with an additional administration charge of £50. If the bike is impounded you will be expected to have the bike released as soon as possible and if necessary bring the bike back to the UK. Anyone spoiling the party for others due to unsatisfactory riding will be asked to leave and will be changed for any additional costs by Spyder Club.
We aim to be out from 10 am to 5-6 pm so there is also time to relax with a beer. Mileage depends upon the routes being ridden.
Flights are not included and guests need to book these. Spyder Club can book ferry and Eurotunnel travel.
