Exotic French Riviera or Italian Motorcycle Vacations

An Exotic French Riviera or Italian Motorcycle Vacation Isn’t Just A Dream

Recently while rummaging through the attic of an old mansion built in the 1840’s, this writer came across an old tarnished brass lamp and thoughts of Aladdin began to dance through my head. Thought to myself, just what might I wish for if I rubbed this and a genie appeared who did in fact grant me a wish?

Hmmm, I pondered, how about the motorcycle ride of my life along the breathtaking roads of the Italian Tuscany region aboard a sleek exotic European machine? And then, since I’m in Italy, why not ask the genie to provide an Italian woman who reminds me of my favorite Italian movie star, Sophia Loren? Heck, I’d even settle for Elisabetta Canalis on the back of my motorbike.

I imagined she and I hopping aboard a Ducati motorcycle for a tour of some of the great motorcycle roads of the Apennine Mountains of Italy. For good measure, once we got done with the mountain roads, we would visit a genuine Italian motorcycle race track to put a couple of those KTM bikes through their paces and see what they were really made of.

Smitten with this vision, I set down the lamp, went to my computer and got online to search for how I could put the dream together in real life. Incredibly, the search revealed a company by the name of Columbus-International Motorcycle Rentals and Tours that must have been reading my mind. With the exception of the female partner, Columbus-International offers just such a tour: an 8 day Italian and South France motorcycle vacation beginning Tuesday, April 21st through Sunday, April 29th, 2012.

It was almost as if the genie resided inside the computer instead of the lamp. Having found the answer to my wish, I grabbed some brass polish and went back to the lamp to work on conjuring up the Sofia Loren look alike.

Based in Cannes, Columbus International is a Ducati motorcycle rental touring company that organizes guided motorbike trips across the Provence region of southeastern France, Cote Azur, the French Riviera, and the Alps. If you prefer to conduct your own tour, Columbus International offers the largest selection of Ducati motorcycle rentals in France.

You get what you pay for ranks as one of the great maxims of life. We’ve all had an experience with both the high end and the low end of the quality spectrum.

Most of us do not mind paying more to get good performance, durability and quality.

For this reason the rental of luxury class items is experiencing growth in recent years, spawning a growing rental industry which offers luxury and high end items including the obvious: houses, vacation homes, exotic cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft, limousine services and the not so obvious: Segways, electronics, computers and even casino parties.

Dual Sport Motorcycle Rentals in The Great Smoky Mountains

Today we are excited about featuring a new rental company and subcategory in Rent It Today’s Motorcycle category: Dual Sport Motorcycle Rentals. We asked Dan Dickie, owner of GSMmotoRent.com, who lives near Gatlinburg, Tennessee & The Great Smoky Mountain National Forrest, to tell us all about dual sport bikes…

Smoky Mountain Dual Sport Motorcycle Rentals and Tours

Why ride dual sport motorcycles?

Let’s face it, there’s a time and a place for everything and every kind of Motorcycle. “Cruisers” are great for Sunday afternoon riding but the seating position can compromise control on the twisties. Sport bikes will feed the need for speed, but just try getting off the beaten path: SPLAT. Touring bikes are great for long distance travel, but sometimes you want something a little lighter to maneuver around on. Dirt bikes tell it like it is: try riding one for 100 miles on the highway: NOT FUN.

Which brings us to dual sport bikes:

Dual sport is a broad term for street legal motorcycles that are designed to enter off-road situations. An original definition of dual sport was: “dual” as in road & dirt, and “sport” as in non-competitive venues. This concept remains true today. Kawasaki KLR 650′s, Suzuki DR 200′s, and Suzuki DR 650′s are some of the most popular dual sport bikes on the market today. Ugly as heck, they are meant to take you to the beautiful places, not to sit and stare at all day like a fool. Dual sport motorcycles, also known as adventure touring, are a combination of off-road and on-road capability. It’s a great day when you can catch a twisty in the morning, have lunch in the mountains mid-day, and return to civilization via an unimproved fire road.

Maybe that’s why dual sport motorcycles are so popular. Their torque-y single cylinder engines, exceptional clearance and road sticking capability get you through the twisties like butter. Lightweight, with large capacity fuel tanks combined with great fuel economy makes them perfect for a day of riding in the mountains and a full day of fun. KLR 650′s have plenty of load carrying capability for multi-day trips or camping. Come try one and see what you think. We think you will be pleasantly surprised — after all, KLR 650′s are the first choice for most round the world travelers on two wheels. There is a reason dual sports are the world’s most versatile bike. This IS the everything bike!

Here at GSMmotoRent we offer Kawasaki KLR 650′s, Suzuki DR 200′s, and Suzuki DR 650′s dual sport motorcycle rentals for your riding pleasure. GSMmotoRent.com also provides guided motorcycle tour rentals with tour guides like Terry Finchum (Smoky Mountain Dual Sport), and self-guided tour planning throughout the scenic raods and trails of The Great Smoky Mountains in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Good roads include The Dragon, Blue Ridge Pkwy, Cherohala Skyway, and the Foothills Pkwy. Trails include Parson’s Branch Rd, Rich Mountain Rd, and Heintooga Rd, all in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. North Carolina offers trails such as Tatum Gap Rd, Winding Stairs, Max Patch Rd, and many more throughout the Cherokee and Pisgah National Forests. We have many of these mapped out with turn by turn directions. -Dan Dickie, owner GSMmotoRent.com

Motorcycle Rentals and Sport Bikes For Rent featuring Rent A Ducati

Motorcycle Rentals has always been a popular rental category at Rent It Today. Renting a Motorcycle and/or taking a motorcycle tour allows people to satisfy their adventuresome souls. One of the great benefits the rental industry offers people is the opportunity to rent luxury items, stay in incredible vacation accommodations, and experience popular and/or exotic travel destinations. Today’s featured article, from the owners of Rent A Ducati.com, provides a perfect example of such: Ducati Motorcycle Rentals…

Rent A Ducati.com is the only company to focus exclusively on Ducati motorcycle rentals. The popularity of Ducati motorcycles has expanded significantly recently. Unfortunately, many people who dream about riding or owning one may be unable to fulfill that desire. At last, Rent A Ducati.com makes that Ducati rental dream possible. Rent a Ducati has the following motorcycles: an 848 Superbike, a Hypermotard 1100, & a Monster 696, available to rent at our popular San Diego Motorcycle Rental, California location. We also have Ducati motorcycle rentals available, in Santa Barbara, CA which through our rental program is convenient to Los Angeles, California.

Ducati motorcycles are the Ferraris of the motorcycle world: the epitome of performance-oriented, sexy motorcycles. As Ducati riders know, Ducati motorcycles are the preeminent Italian motorcycle; sexy, fast, and fun. As a result, Ducati has a very loyal following called Ducatisti (Ducati fans). Ducati Motorcycles also have a well-established and lengthy racing history that has earned the respect of the motorcycling world.

Aside from the fun of being able to rent a Ducati motorcycle, something not widely available prior to Rent A Ducati.com, now future Ducati owners can ride various models to help select the right one for purchase. And, Rent a Ducati enables Ducati dealers to keep fewer “Demo” bikes in stock, allowing room for more new motorcycles.

The combination of GP Motorcycles, the premiere Ducati dealer for the greater San Diego area, and the idyllic riding conditions around San Diego make it our most popular rental location. We look forward to having our customers take a winding zip up Palomar Mountain, cruise along the California coastline, or roll through the beautiful countryside in Alpine, and Julian, and into the mesmerizing Anza Borrego desert.

The easiest way to reserve a bike is to go to www.RentaDucati.com and book your reservation. Prices depend on model selected and number of days rented, so check our website for details. We have a standing weekend special: Rent Saturday and Sunday, get Monday free, and turn the bike in Tuesday morning. That means a full 1/3rd off the rental price on any bike you select! If you are in the area, GP Motorcycles is located 3617 India Street, Suite B, San Diego, CA 92103. Stop by and look at the bikes!

Rent A Ducati.com was started by David Johnson and Dane Nelson after being frustrated by the lack of Ducati motorcycles for rent. “We wanted to ride the bikes we are passionate about and knew there were others out there feeling the same way.” Says co-founder Dane, “After riding Ducati motorcycles in Italy and not finding Ducatis for rent in the U.S., I approached David to see if he knew of anyone who rented them. When the search proved fruitless, we decided to do something about it and make Ducati motorcycles available to everyone who is passionate about motorcycling!” “Rent A Ducati.com,” says David, “is about turning a dream into a reality: the chance to ride an awesome Ducati motorcycle.” Contact us by phone: 818-395-3648, email: Info@RentaDucati.com, or visit us on Facebook.

Customer Spotlight: Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals

The weekend is upon us and its time to spotlight another of Rent It Today’s great rental companies and while doing so continue to highlight one of our fastest growing rental categories: Motorcycle Rentals. Today our spotlight finds itself illuminating a motorcycle rental company in The Big Apple…

…New York City. It was interesting to find out, after a little research, that New York City was originally called “The Big Apple” by John Fitzgerald, a writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. “In the early 1920′s, apple was a word used to reference the many horse racing courses around New York City. The actual word Apple referred to the lucrative prizes awarded for winning the races. John Fitzgerald, referred to New York City’s races using the phrase, Around the Big Apple.” With New York City and racing in mind it is certainly fitting that our article today highlights Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals LLC. While we are certainly not advocating renting street bikes and racing around New York City, when riding motorcycles you cannot help but embrace the feeling of speed and exhilaration produced from the open air in your face and the road at your feet. Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals provides BMW motorcycle rentals in New York City and Los Angeles, California. Jupiter’s has a very nice selection of high end 2009 model BMW motorcycles for rent. In addition Jupiter’s provides motorcycle storage rentals, and an incredible “across the country” motorcycle tour from New York City to Los Angeles, California.

Jupiter’s specializes in BMW Motorcycle Rentals for local and cross country rentals. Whether you want to rent a BMW to just get out of the city for a day, or go across the country, Jupiter’s offers the latest BMW motorcycles to help you achieve your ideal adventure.

In the past it was not possible to rent a BMW 1200RT motorcycle and ride it comfortably across the country, one way. Or choose the more nimble BMW F800ST or F650GS motorcycle to ride in and out of the New York City or Los Angeles metro area, or for that matter ride that BMW motorcycle across the country one way.

Enter Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals:

Jupiter’s was spawned from my own riding experiences and is much more than just a business. In the summer of 2006 I spent over a month traveling alone across China by motorcycle. My only traveling companion was a book by Ted Simon called “Jupiter’s Travels.” Simon traveled around the world alone by motorcycle long before the adventure bikers of today set out to do the same. He wrote of his adventures and how he acquired his name. He was told by a friend, “You have a determined soul. This is reflected in your mind. You are Jupiter…” he said.

To which Simon thought “Why not? I like the sound of that.”

The mission of my trip was very much the same as Ted Simon’s: “The goal was comprehension, and the only way to comprehend the world was by making myself vulnerable to it so that I could change me. The challenge was to lay myself open to everybody and everything that came my way. The prize was to change and grow big enough to feel one with the whole world.”

It surprised me to discover that this sense of rightness does not appear naturally in people, even though they live in the heart of nature,” Simon wrote. To which I agree. It was not my environs that needed to change but me. How do we change?

This isn’t just a motorcycle business to me; it is my attempt to help bring about the change in ourselves we all seek–that feeling of one with the world. Traveling helps me do that–motorcycling brings me closer to the heart of nature both within myself and I find with others.

So, the way I see it, we are all Jupiter if we want to be. Or as another great traveler once wrote: “On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur, l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.” – One can see rightly only with the heart, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

–Chris Miles, owner Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals
