Harley-Davidson® Adventure Centre with Darren
POSTED: 05/05/2022
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 Harley-Davidson® Adventure Centre
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.
The Bike
Get ready to experience adventure in a new light with a motorcycle built to exceed in all conditions. Equipped with fantastic power, confidence-inspiring control, and electronic aids to push you further, is the Harley-Davidson® Pan America™ 1250 Special.
The Pan America™ 1250 Special has a minimum seat height of 850mm and features the award-winning Adaptive Ride Height system which allows the motorcycle to automatically lower when the bike is at a standstill. Harley-Davidson® produced the Pan America™ to be different to anything their riders have experienced before and together with the Adventure Centre you'll be able to discover everything it can do...
The Team
They have only the best at the H-D® Adventure Centre! The team have combined experience of over 60 years, so you can rest assured you'll be in the best hands. The team is especially great at tailoring the adventure experience to each riders' confidence and skill level, helping you to progress your riding skills and address key points you may need assistance within.
The course is hosted by Mick Extance and his son Adam Extance, who together produce an unforgettable day out. With experience and knowledge that speaks for themselves, these two legends will be sure to enhance your skills and build on your riding confidence. In addition to Mick & Adam, there are guest top-level riders who will assist to bring the very best out of every guest.

Manufacturer offers can not be redeemed in conjunction with any of the Laguna exclusive offers.
Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
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 most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders 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; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policy and regulatory complaints.
