Route of the Week by Simon Weir



Norway – the easy way

Looking for the trip of a lifetime? Kawasaki's tame touring guru Simon Weir has a new self-guided trip to Nordkapp. It's a tried-and-tested route with the kind of insider twists and tips that only come from working with locals to put together the best possible ride. 

There are other new self-guided tours on www.simonweir.co.uk – including Germany's Harz & Colditz, plus one-way rides between Santander and Calais or vice-versa – and many of the most-popular trips have been updated to run from Rotterdam and Amsteram as well as from Calais. 

So whether you want to see the French or Italian Alps, the south of Spain or the peaks of Portugal, for a summer tour packed with expert insight and astonishing riding, remember to use your exclusive Kawasaki code Ninja2026 to save 20% on whichever tour tickles your fancy... or anything else on www.simonweir.co.uk
