A Motorcyclists' Dream Week

**SPECIAL EVENT **

Ride Classic and modern machines and try out sidecars. all in one sun drenched week.
Price* from £1395
Date:July 6-10 2009 tbc
Back to Top

We have put together a real melange of motorcycles and motorcycling experiences for you to enjoy in the beautiful setting and sunshine of Provence.

This week basically comprises three categories

Fun with a side car. Never ridden a bike with a side car before? Now's your chance. We will show you how, before letting you loose on some of the best Mediterranean roads to see some of the local history and stunning views. But never fear, we will always be right behind (or infront of) you. There are organised trips out to get the best experiences possible from this different aspect of motorcycling – and believe us – it IS different.
Classic motorcycling on a range of bikes from the 1950s to 1980s - try a different bike each session on our classic bike tours
Self Discovery Take out one of our classic Moto Guzzis, or one of our modern bikes to explore the area yourself, or go with a guide if you prefer.

And for those who want to complete the riding experience, you can even take out our twist and go scooters or monkey bikes, if available!!

Where else will you get the opportunity to ride so many different machines and do such a variety of activities on two wheels?

And what of your partner? - Pillion riders are very welcome, or if they don't like riding there is plenty to do and see around our base at St Remy (if lazing by the pool seems a little too arduous).
So, not only will you have the week of a life-time in the company of other motorcycle enthusiasts, you will also have the (almost) guaranteed sunshine of Provence, the flavour of the Mediterranean, and the relief that someone else has to clean the bikes at the end of the day !!
Come and join us. Places are limited so hurry and reserve yours.

Classic Bike Workshop

Not sure which classic to buy? Which is the bike best suited to YOU? How to ride your classic (yes, there is a difference between riding a classic and a modern machine!). This workshop is aimed at the Classic Novice. It involves hands-on morning workshops and afternoon tours around the beautiful Provençal landscape. Not only will it enable the rider to choose and ride his/her bike with a degree of confidence but it will also give the opportunity to ride several different models of classic machines housed at the CBP stable.

To see the agenda and further information go to Introduction to Classics, or phone CBP to find out more

Accommodation is not included. We can organise your accommodation for you, and for an indication of what's available and cost please go to Hotels in St Remy.

Due to popular demand, we now run some ONE TO ONE workshops where you can have individual 'advice' on maintenance of your classic. Particularly useful for those wanting to get into classics , but who don't have the mechanical confidence. Tailor made to suit your needs; any number of days possible.

Excursions can be arranged on rest days if required, or you may even decide to ride some more!

Plenty of riding time and chance to try out several different classics. And if your partner doesn't want to ride, why not book them on a course for a week:cookery, painting, wine tasting, horse riding..... We can arrange practically anything; just ask!

Mechanical Molls Weekend!
Price:£489
Feb 13-15 2009

Back to Top

Whether male or female, it would seem prudent to have at least a few of the basic mechanical tricks up your sleeve when leaving base, particularly if there is no-one at home to come and rescue you in case of a breakdown. As one of our lady riders stated

" I certainly wouldn't class myself as a feminist, wanting to do everything for myself, but at the same time I don't want to look like a blonde bimbo sitting at the side of the road waiting for help to magically appear." P.H.

So you may not want to go into the intricacies of how to actually restore a bike, but CBP can give you an insight into some of the tips and tricks for problem solving and avoiding.
If you are a lady rider who wants to spend a few days away in the sunshine, learn about bike mechanics, ride around the beautiful countryside of Provence, and have a laugh this is the weekend for you.

The mornings will be spent finding out how to avoid problems and overcome the most common reasons for breakdown at the road-side; the afternoons will be spent touring around the empty Provençal roads with the odd (hopefully simulated) breakdown thrown in 'en route'. That just leaves the evenings for................socialising of course!

Price £489
Includes: 3 day workshop, bike, guide and 3rd party bike insurance.
