We specialise in fully supported guided motorcycle tours of Sub-Saharan Africa and North America, from classic journeys along Route 66 to the ultimate backroad tour of Namibia. For our tours to North America, Tread is an official UK partner of EagleRider, the world’s largest motorcycle touring company.
Like you, we’re bikers, with thousands of touring miles under our wheels. We’re passionate about bikes and understand the thrill that only motorcycling offers.
In the US we work with EagleRider because they’re one of the best in the business. They have intimate knowledge of the best routes and have over 150 locations in the United States with a fleet of more than 4,000 motorcycles, including the latest models from Harley-Davidson, BMW, Honda and more. Their guides are second to none and are backed up by a support team.
In Africa, our guides have been leading tours for over 20 years, where we combine the thrill of venturing off the beaten track with the reassurance of experienced support teams and quality accommodation.
We are also global travel expert as Tread is a division of Lusso, one of the UK’s most trusted and respected travel companies. As such, not only can we offer you advice on your motorcycling tour, we can also take care of your travel arrangements, from flights and airport transfers to booking hotel nights before and after you ride. We can even combine your motorcycle tour with an extended tailor-made holiday. Perhaps you’d like your family and friends to join you in LA or Cape Town after completing your life’s dream of ride? We can organise their flights, transfers and hotel stays, to join you as you share with them your tales from the Road.
It’s hard to overstate the value of talking to an expert when it comes to planning a trip of a lifetime. Our Tread travel and tour specialists have an average of over 25 years’ experience within the industry and have travelled extensively across our destinations meaning you can be assured of first-hand, honest and up-to-date advice.
Between us we’ve ridden thousands of miles across our destinations. We know which bikes are good two up, and more importantly, which are not. Which bikes are best for long-distance touring with extended days in the saddle, which are better for female and shorter riders, as well as those best for back roads adventure riding. Most importantly we know the routes so we can offer you advice based on first-hand knowledge and kilometres lived.
Whether you are touring in the US or Africa we source our bikes from the best local operators. In the US no other motorcycle tour company offers a greater selection of bikes than EagleRider, with more than 4,000 bikes and a wide range of leading manufacturers to choose from. Whatever your preference, be it a Harley-Davidson Road Glide, or a BMW 1250 GS, your two-wheeled adventure is sure to be one to remember.
We secure the most competitive rates and pass them on to you. Being based in the UK the price we quote at the time of booking is the price you pay with no surprise costs sprung on you down the line due to exchange rate differentials.
Tread is a division of Lusso, one of the UK’s most respected luxury tour operators, with over ten years’ experience delivering exceptional tailor-made holidays.

You’ll be assigned a personal travel advisor who’ll be your sole point of contact for all aspects of your trip. Our advisors all pride themselves on their levels of personal service and will do more than just organise your holiday logistics. They’ll take time to get to know you as both a rider and a traveller. That way they can make informed suggestions as you work together to plan your perfect trip.
For our North America tours we work in conjunction with EagleRider because they’re one of the best in the business. They’ve got over 150 locations in the United States and a there are tours available for all levels of rider and each tour is led by an experienced tour leader and accompanied by a support van to carry your luggage.

Our non-flight packages are protected by way of a bond held by ABTA.
