UK Explorer Option #1
Explore all the UK has to offer, escaping our winter to enjoy their northern hemisphere summer and mostly perfect riding conditions. Ride the rugged south coast to the majestic midlands and further north into Scotland to Glasgow, even all the way to the northern tip John o’Groats. Visit castles and historic villages and pubs, enjoy riding the numerous hedgerow lanes, or head for the mountainous Lake District for more adventure.
You can ride your own Australian-registered bike in the UK on a Temporary Import Permit (which we arrange) for up to 6 months in any 12-month period.
While in the UK, watch the British Superbikes race at Donington Park, Brands Hatch or Snetterton, or head across to the Isle of Man for the amazing Tourist Trophy.
When your bike and gear arrive in the UK, it will be ready to collect from our Southampton depot on the south coast within 5 days following the vessel’s arrival (ETA). Southampton is a 2 hour train ride south from the Heathrow Terminal and 1 hour 15 min direct from London Waterloo Station.
*Please note, planned arrival and departure dates may change slightly due to international vessel scheduling, and we’ll keep you updated on any changes. On return, your bike will need to be delivered to our Southampton depot for loading, 7 days before the departure date.
We provide up to 7 days of secure, free storage for your bike at our depot, if needed. Longer-term storage is available on request.
Isle of Man TT Race Option #2
After collecting your bike, head to the isle along with 100s of others for the most exciting 2 weeks! In 2027, qualifying commences Monday, 31 May and moves into racing and finishing with the Senior TT Race on Saturday, 12 June 2027.
Ride the scenic route to the isle and back, crossing the Irish Sea by ferry from Liverpool (or Heysham further north) with other bike enthusiasts and fans for a 3-hour ferry journey – this festival fortnight is the experience of a lifetime.
The best part… you get to ride some of the most scenic parts of the course on your own bike!
