We arrived in Paris during the Olympics and found the service, bikes and advice so helpful in our 21 day journal through Europe. You have contributed to memories that will be forever with us. The BMW 750 bikes were superb and never missed a beat during the hot summer conditions. Harald Gosche2024-06-10
