ITW Motorcycle adventure: Bulgaria, Sept. 19th – 27th 2025
Into The Wild men’s motorcycle adventure is a great opportunity for us guys to get together, have some fun, make new friends, take a break from our daily routine and shut off the exterior world. What better way to do that than to go to another country and ride a motorcycle for a few days?
This trip is for all us men who need to forget about the outside world for a few days and for me there is no better way to do that than to ride a motorcycle. Let go of all the stress and hassle - we will take care of everything. All you need to do is buy the trip, buy a plane ticket and get yourself there to join the adventure. We will ride motorbikes during the day in a beautiful national park and relax in the evening, have a beverage or two, take a bath in the mineral pools, sauna, have a massage** or even go to the gym if you haven’t had enough. And the best part is that it only costs $3400, all inclusive*. Now that’s a STEAL of a DEAL!!!
If you ride adventure bikes then this is a perfect opportunity to learn new techniques, improve your skills and get more comfortable riding in challenging terrains on a lighter bike.
Men who decide to take this trip should fall within these guidelines:
Men who ride motorcycles and want to have fun doing so in a group of likeminded men.
Men who are comfortable being in a group setting
Men who are open to new experiences
Men who have a solution orientated mindset
Men who can listen and follow directions from their guides.
Men who can be respectful to each other.

how:
The group will be divided by difficulty level: 1, 2, 3- all up to rider’s demands and skills. You can be a beginner on a dirt bike up to advanced. The group will try to ride together parts of each day and meet up in a few locations during that time, even though we will take different routes to get there. There are requirements to join. For example, riding a dirt bike is more physically demanding than riding a street bike. (scroll down to see requirements)
