“All i can say is WOW! Had the most magical time in the sidecar this morning. Driving down windy roads, through mist & fog and even discovered a place I never knew about & i live in the area! Highly recommend this experience (2hrs). Andrew is the most laid back but informative person. You get a different perspective of everything when you’re in a sidecar!”

“We purchased this experience for my dad for his 91st Birthday. Dad and my sister thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Andrew has a great knowledge of the area and pointed out some really interesting facts along the way. Andrew was, friendly and relaxed which was great because dad at 91 was a bit nervous at the start but was soon put at ease and got off the bike with a huge smile on his face. His bike was comfortable and although looked vintage, is a late model with all the safety features of a late model bike. I could not recommend this experience enough for someone looking for a special gift idea. This stretch of the coast would be one of the most beautiful drives on the east coast and there is no better way to see it. Thanks Andrew.”

Your explanation of history at various sites was also well researched. Thank you very much. I would recommend your ride to anyone.”
