CLUB PROFILE

The aim of the Club is to promote and encourage foreign touring by motorcycle.

"Partitours" are non-profit making tours, organised by members for members.  They are normally tours of one to three weeks' duration, led by an experienced Club member and usually comprise of 10 to 20 members. Often individual Partitour members will extend their tour by adding additional days to suit themselves, either to experience new places, visit favourite old haunts or simply to make a more leisurely start or finish to their holiday. Hotels and some of the meals are booked for the group, but each member is left to organize their own ferries etc to allow best flexibility.

Some members prefer to arrange their own tours with small groups of friends, or to travel on their own.  Information, experience and support from other members for independent touring is available and a key benefit of membership.

Currently the Club has overseas representatives in Canada, Germany, France and South Africa, who can also assist if members wish to tour one of these countries. 

There is a full social calendar which is based on the Club’s regions and groups: East of England; London and Southern; Midlands and Northern. Each region normally has two representatives who help to organise regional club events, ride outs and other social events.  They are also usually involved in the organisation of, what to many members, is the second most popular Club activity, ‘Club weekends’.  These weekends include regional  dinners during the winter, a national annual dinner in March, spring/summer Bank Holiday weekends and an always popular October weekend.

The bi-monthly magazine ‘Tourider’ keeps members informed of social events. It also has articles and touring tips from members. You can have it sent by email or, if you prefer, traditional paper copy.

The Club’s website provides an additional source of information for members and non-members. The website includes pages on latest news, events, tours, touring links, rally calendar, photo gallery and  membership information.

The Club also has a Facebook Group to which Members post photographs and information to share with others.

The Club is affiliated to the BMF and MAG.
