Exploring Gran Canaria by Motorcycle - Episode 1
I love touring the UK on my motorbikes but this year I seem to have always caught rough weather, even in the height of our "Summer". So in a quest to find some decent weather, I jumped on an aeroplane South to meet with the nice folk at Canary Motorcycle Tours on the island of Gran Canaria where the weather is great for riding a motorcycle all year round. Stay tuned to find out how I got on....

I have joined their tour on several occasions as i am a regular visitor on Gran Canaria. Absolutely gorgeous riding. Martin is one of the best tour guides i ever seen for bike riding. The guy is an instructor and gives you instant confidence when leading you through amazing landscapes. Perfect weather, thousands of corners. It's any bikers dream.

Great video! I was born in Gran Canaria so all those roads are familiar to me and bring back memories of rides on my first bike, a Honda CBX250. The white trees you were spotting are eucalyptus. Loads of them in the island. Have fun in Gran Canaria, enjoy the sun and make sure you try the "papas arrugadas con mojo picón".

Did the week tour in September this year. Blown away by the scenery and the diversity of the terrain. One bit of advice is that if your new to riding then get some experience before you head to G. C. The roads are very challenging and you need to know what your doing. Other than that, keep it to yourself coz it's amazing! Many thanks to Martin and joy for an amazing trip!

Can't believe I'm seeing this! I did that road last week only the other way around - from Playa de Mogan on GC200 past Presa de la Ninas on GC605 then down to Vecindario on GC60/65 via San Bartolome. I love this road - sadly, I didn't have my GS with me so was driving a Fiat 500 rental which took the edge off it a bit... Nice to know about the guy doing the tours on GC though.

The videos just do not do the island justice, it is something that has to be experienced first hand & Martin n Joy are a great couple.

Fantastic scenery!! And you should do a bit of a review on the CBF600. I've only heard good things about it.

I rode a scooter from Maspalomas to Las Palmas on a lads holiday at the tender age of 17. It got me hooked on two wheels and motivated me to get my motorcycle licence. You should consider the Adriatic coast of Croatia/Bosnia/Montenegro as a future destination. Sublime scenery, weather and roads. Madeira is another spectacular place to get away for some winter sun that isn't too far from the UK.

Yeah it is popular with the locals on sports bikes for sure - those edges look a bit serious for me to go large...but get yourself over there and fill yer boots!

Very nice. I did the Glacier National Park Montana in August. Amazing. Much slower speed limit though. I had the unfaired version of that bike. Nice bike to return to after 30 years non-biking. He’s going too fast for me. Minis 16 this morning. Focus on skiing. Life’s tough

Yet another place to and to the, hopefully one day I'll ride there , list. Many thanks for taking us along. However I must disagree, I beleive those roads are what sports bikes are built for. How glorious it would be to carve those corners on a Panigale.

+Cyndee And Steve Linde I’d sooner do it on my Street Triple, I think the Panigale would encourage me to go to fast and I’d end up off the edge!

Wow. Nice roads/scenery. Canaries virgin, here... I always thought Tenerife was the one to go to, I'm not so sure now!

I think Gran Canaria and Tenerife are the most popular, followed by Lanzagrotty (which I quite liked when I visited many years ago...)

Simply amazing vistas! And such an energy boost, I bet. I'll be visiting the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura in a fortnight and hoping to find a bike rental over there. Not sure they've got any companies offering the same kind of tours over there.. Would be lovely though. The only trouble I see with these tours is that you can't stop whenever you please say to take a pic or simply a longer look at the sights.. And the cost :D Can't wait to see the next episode!

I lived in Gran Canaria for a year and a half back in the mid 90's. For most of that time I lived in Vecindario, the first place you went through in the video (It was cheap). I don't think I saw rain in that entire tome, although in the North and in the mountains they get some rain.

Wow, what scenery! That looks like a great ride, though I have to say if it was me I'd want to make more stops and savor the views a bit more, but I also didn't see many pull-offs on the road. I've seen quite a few videos of the Canary's from some of the world sailing channels I watch here on the youtubes. It's a popular jumping off spot for crossing the Atlantic on the way to the Caribbean. There's also an epic video by Seen Through Glass who was on Tenerife test driving some McLaren's. Definitely a popular spot that I've only learned about in recent years.

I hired a bike last january and rode around that island. It get's very cold up in the mountains. There are speed cameras on the motorway, fortunately I was travelling below the speed limit.
