I thoroughly enjoyed every day of my 9-day trip. Scenery was stunning and dirt roads were very manageable. The Tuareg Rally was the ideal bike for the ride. Lodging was always comfortable and camping locations were always in secluded locations with amazing views. Balise team is a very organized outfit which consistently provided capable and trustworthy direction throughout the 1500 miles. In the suggestions category, I’d prefer that riding days were kept to a 9-5 schedule. The couple of 10 hour days were too tiring and that reduced my enjoyment (note this comment comes from a 62-year old). The lowest point of the trip for me was the 2-hour ride following the staggered formation with a 3-bike spacing…deadly boring because focusing on this tight distancing made it impossible to enjoy the grand scenery around us.

Balise Enduro Expeditions is the motorcycle travel company you want to go with. Highly talented, patient guides/riders giving you the best experience you could hope for. The vibe is just great the whole time. I have done two trips with them and I started looking at my calendar to book the next one as soon as I got back from Utah in the western US.

I had an amazing motorcycle trip organized by the Baliese team. We rode through beautiful terrain, mostly in Utah, with a great mix of challenging and easier sections. At each daily destination, everything was well prepared so we could rest, recover, and be ready for the next day. The team was kind, supportive, and did a great job managing a group with mixed skill levels. Riders could take it slower or faster depending on their experience and comfort level. The scenery was incredible, and I’m already looking forward to coming back for another event.

It is hard to overstate how incredible the experience was with Balise SRL on the Western Frontier. The team at Balise are first class - friendly, incredibly experienced and do whatever it takes to make the trip fantastic for guests - including staying up all night repairing motobikes just to ensure guests have a bike to ride the next day! Lorenzo, Carolina, Earnesto, Popo and Lorenzo, Dennis and Dan - Gracias! If you are on the fence - just book it. It's worth every penny.

What great hosts! Well planned route with some adventure mixed in. Great food and accommodations. I would definitely travel with these guys again!
