Actually there is more. You won’t just be riding any old Harley-Davidson®. You will be the officer in charge of a genuine ex-US Police Harley-Davidson®.

On the half day session you’ll cover up to 60miles split into two rides with a stop for a cuppa and cake in between. Those opting for the full-day enjoy a longer tour with a long stop at nice little Derbyshire place for lunch included.
So what’s it like on Road King? Well they are as big and as imposing as you’d imagine. They’re pretty low-slung too with that distinctive rider stance we know and love so well from Harley-Davidson®. These bikes feature the retro windscreen large tank and lovely chrome detailing too.
Of course a Harley-Davidson® is heavy and it is quite different to riding your typical European motorbikes but fear not your hosts will run through the controls with you. They’ll also explain the idiosyncrasies of Harley-Davidsons such as toe change downs and heel change ups.
Turn on the ignition and you’ll feel a rumble as the air-cooled v-twin engine roars into life. The ride is just as you’d expect – in low revs the Road King truly lives up to its name. Totally comfortable and capable of cruising the wonderful sweeping country roads of the Peak District the bike is a dream to ride.
