My partner Kathryn and had long talked of a motorcycle trip around California but as we live in New Zealand we had no local knowledge and found planning difficult. Enter Cat and Nancy. Thru various emails and phone calls they customized a GPS guided ride for us meeting our desire for empty curvy roads and great scenery. On arrival at our hotel in San Francisco Cat out came to meet us and talk us through the itinerary and gave us tips to get the best out of our trip. Launching into rush hour traffic on an unfamiliar bike and riding on the "wrong" side of the road was a little daunting but the GPS and Cat's prep got us on our way no problem. The roads, hotels and restaurant tips were all fantastic. We had the trip we'd dreamed of.
On day five we had the misfortune to have a stone go through the radiator of our Multistrada, leaving us stranded in a small town many miles from a service centre so unable to continue riding. At this point Cat and Nancy went FAR beyond anything we could have hoped for. We thought it would be a long bus ride back to San Francisco and a very flat end to our trip. But no! A phone call to Nancy explaining our predicament and she swung into action. After an hour or so a plan was devised that still astounds both of us. Nancy booked us into a hotel, loaded Cat's own personal Ducati Multistrada on a trailer and drove 100s of miles to deliver it to us at midnight that night so we could complete the last day of our trip.
I have NEVER had such a level of service and am eternally grateful to you both for going the extra mile for us. Riding over the Golden Gate on a bike gave us both huge smiles. I cannot recommend LEOD motorcycle escapes highly enough. If you want an A grade trip, organized in detail, staying at great places and a service level second to none then you've come to the right place. We'll be back.
