Ever-Expanding Ayres Adventures

"Bohemian Rhapsody", by the British rock band Queen, features a variety of contrasting moods, color and tonality. Motorcycle touring outfit Ayres Adventures also figured it was fitting title for its new 12-day European Adventure, which features up to 9 different countries, all sporting stunning roads and first class hotels. The color comes from the cultural highlights to be found in places like Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Italy. Figaro, indeed.

Ayres is also now offering an 8-day Alpine Adventure in its "Peaks of Europe" series. The Adventure keeps things on an intimate scale, with accommodations at luxury spa resorts in the Stelvio National Park and in St. Moritz. The size of the tour group will be limited to about ten motorcycles, opening up more intimate lodging and dining options.

But perhaps the most intriguing new offering is the firm's Cape to Cairo expedition-a 54-day, 9,000-mile Adventure that winds from Cape Town, South Africa, through a dozen African countries to Cairo, Egypt. The special tour is a thrilling trip on one of the most fabled overland routes in the world. Experience dense jungles, arid deserts, stunning mountains and the continent's incredible wildlife.
