What Can I Expect

If you've always dreamed of having that Harley-Davidson® experience but don't have your motorbike licence, the answer is here with our full-day Harley-Davidson® passenger rides! You'll tour the Surrey countryside as a pillion rider to give you a proper flavour of what these amazing two wheelers from across the waters are all about.

The great thing about these passenger rides is that everything is organised for you. An expert Harley rider will be at the helm and you will be on the back riding pillion. You don't even need to have a biker jacket helmet, as these can be provided for you, but of course, bring your own if you have them.

As any HOG member will know, owning and riding out on a Harley-Davidson® isn't so much about going fast, it's more about the experience of being on these incredible machines. And as you ride as a passenger, you'll soon start to see the 'Harley effect', with heads turning to watch you rumble past and other bikers you pass acknowledging you with a friendly wave. Super powerful and comfortable, you can easily do 500 miles a day on these showstopper bikes, making them a superb choice for a pillion ride around the South Downs.

The itinerary for your tour has been carefully planned to make the most of the stunning scenery and to show you the capability of the bikes too. Setting off from the base at Alton, all tours are circular, taking in some truly lovely places and some incredible roads as you go.

En route you'll be stopping off for lunch somewhere cool like Goodwood or a local pub, with a break at one of the many famous ‘biker pubs' in the area too. Add to that some all-time biker favourite roads through Meon and Candover Valley and you've got yourself the ultimate Harley Davidson passenger ride itinerary!

Indeed these pillion experiences open the door to the world of Harley-Davidson® without the need to even be able to ride a motorbike. It's great fun for those wannabe bikers of all ages and, dare we say it, is the perfect antidote gift for anyone verging on a midlife crisis. Buy your Harley-Davidson® passenger experience voucher and get ready to ride!
