Thrilling in every sense of the word

Experience everything Wales can throw at you on this multi-terrain adrenaline-pumping adventure.

Harley-Davidson® has launched a brand new adventure centre in Wales with Dakar legend Mick Extance.  

The adventure centre offers a one-day on- and off-road experience catered to your skill level and confidence with the use of the new Harley-Davidson® Pan America™ 1250 Special. Included in the rider experience package is intimate training with Mick, a full riding kit and helmet, fuel, insurance and lunch at the 4☆ Lake Vyrnwy Hotel.

Our very own Darren, went over to Wales to experience this for himself and he absolutely loved it...

"The H-D Pan America demonstrated how special this adventure bike truly is. The adaptive ride height and 7 rider modes genuinely convince you that you could compete in the next Dakar Rally"

The Terrain

The H-D® Adventure Centre is based on a huge 1,500 acres of private woodland and it showcases some utterly breathtaking landscapes you'll never forget. You'll be able to learn at your own pace without the pressure of being in a large group with the experience tailored to a more intimate class. The class sizes are no larger than two riders to an instructor, to keep the class as personal as possible. Even if you've never been off-road before you'll learn everything you need to blast across the tracks in no time and maybe a jump or two as well!

Taking on some of the toughest terrains Wales has to offer, you'll be at one with nature... and a Harley® of course.

A Dakar legend...

The Harley-Davidson® Adventure Centre with Mick Extance in Wales

From a small paper round job, Mick was able to buy his first motorcycle at the age of 15. It didn't take Mick long to compete in his first trial, where he won - displaying some showstopping natural two-wheeled skills. There laid the roots of a very successful champion who has entered seven Dakar Rallies - finishing five of these - and is now registered for Dakar 2023

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
