The whole team at Lobagola B&B and Lobagola MotoTours wants to thank all of our friends and clients for giving us their trust and using our services throughout this year.

As we're always pushing things forward listening for the community and it's needs, we have launched our new website fully dedicated for motorcycle service, tours, experiences etc.

Home - Lobagola mototours

new contact emails are:

info@lobagola.mototours.com
insurance@lobagola-mototours.com
tours@lobagola-mototours.com

There are many new services, insurance products, freight solutions and our support is reaching even farther then before regarding the logistics, paperwork etc.

If you want to own your own EU registered motorcycle, need to freight it by air/sea or land, plan to travel from Australia to Europe or crossing Africa we are now able to provide support throughout the way.

Before buying your motorcycle through our service you can come and rent one of the bikes from our fleet for very competitive prices and see why clients from all over the world like our location as we're just 1,5 h ride from Alps and 1,5 h ride from Adriatic coast. TET is just 1,5 h ride from our premises and our motorcycle warehouse.

Storage for motorcycles, 4x4 and as the community have requested van and trailer storage is now also available. As many inmates travel from northern European countries towards south to reach TET in the Balkans as fast as possible, we're now storing the vans/cars and trailers as well.

Our service garage on site is now offering Rabaconda tyre and mouse changing service for free. So if you are riding TET and need to change your tire, just send an email to info@lobagola-mototours.com or give us a call.

Our on site tire storage and availability is spreading into offering off road tires and large enduro motorcycle tires to be bought on site directly from us.

Expedition tours and newly added training experiences are available on request.

Our Lobagola B&B accommodation is running as always 365 days a year, so you're more then welcomed to stay with us. Just stopping by for a beer, a coffee or just a chat for useful fresh info will makes us happy.

See you out there :) (more often off the road then on the road) .

Well Dooby, I went to your new website looking for some basic information on rentals, purchase support, insurance and such, but all I found was a bunch of very attractive pages saying, in essence, nothing at all. Where are the lists of what you actually provide, with prices attached? Am I missing something? Thanks for any clarification!

Hi Mark,

I really like your approach :clap:

"but all I found was a bunch of very attractive pages saying, in essence, nothing at all."

so to keep things on track please show me the pages where there is no information on the mentioned services by linking each one of them and then I will politely reply to each link and inquiry and additional info you might need.

Thanks :mchappy:

I'm not going to bother with all that. I clicked the "home" link in your original post, then on "tours, rentals and training," then on "rentals." All I get is some vague information and an invitation to email you. Same thing on most of your pages (i.e., all the ones I'm interested in, like insurance, tours, etc.): I dead-end at a nice photograph, but no pricing, schedules, or anything else except some sort of "contact us." I don't want to contact you; I want information.

Plus the navigation from specific pages makes me return several levels, rather than letting me jump from one page to another.

You're highly-regarded here, and I'm not trying to moan and whine--it's just that you're not providing what I'm looking for at this point. I like dense information, and am seldom looking for pretty photos except to illustrate specific text.

Hope that's useful, and wishing you safe journeys!

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the explanation of your previous post.

Insurance wise, EU is provided in detail, everything else is per inquiry, we do not sell packages that Axa underwrites as we want to offer clients an option to choose.
We can't provide all the services on the website as global over landing community is using our service like providing logistics and paperwork to cross Iraq, Siria, Afghanistan this year. We can't provide fixed info on many of our services that are listed and many that are not listed as it's not realistic.
Vehicle freighting is the same thing, we don't have fixed dates for containers leaving Orlando, or LA, but we ship tailor made to crazy locations and from crazy locations always trying to give the clients the best value possible.

We as a niche provider only do expedition guided motorcycle tours (this info is on the website). Meaning no prices will ever be listed, there is no package to be sold, there is no fixed starting dates etc.
Drop ins are not accepted, we don't test anyone's skill level, it's up to a group of riders to be able to measure themselves as a group and we will deliver as we always do. Ego maniacs are not welcomed at all.
We only accept private groups, skill level needed is expert rider, daily riding ranges from 200-350 of off road KM.

Rentals description will be amended and you're right about that part of the website.
It will be amended to provide info that our rentals are aimed at our future clients that are considering to buy motorcycle in Croatia and own it for 2 years or more. For them it's a way to test the waters and see where the distances are from our premises and how practical is our location.

We are not rental business company like many others are and we're not touring company like many others are. We are not into providing a fleet of BMW, or proudly sticking the BMW certified tour guide or instructor badge on the front page of the website.

We ride a lot of off road and as a linesman for CROATIA's part of Trans Euro Trail, we would like to attract more riders to come and ride rural areas all over TET, and leave their mark in the community by spending locally.

As for the website navigation, world is contextual nowadays and website is tailored in that way for the future attention of the user. On the other side I get that you don't like how some aspects are designed and presented, all good bier .

Dooby, I have some of the same thoughts that Markharf mentioned. When researching for a trip, a quick collection of possibly helpful information is saved. Then many sites are deleted because of pricing, availability, location. If I need to go in several levels looking for what I need, I move on to the next vendor. For my first level of trip rental searches, I want to quickly see what bikes are available, total period cost, no mileage limits, and pickup location.

You do get excellent reviews from inmates. You do respond quickly on the forums. I was happy with your communications to me last year. And your response to Markharf was well written with much detail.

I'm not sure what information Markharf was looking for. I want to rent (or buy/sell, if it's cheaper) for 4-6 weeks for Albania through Bosnia, Croatia..... this summer or fall. I want to go, ride, return home with what I brought. I don't want to store a bike. I've ridden Europe before, but never know if I will go back to ride again. I love it there, but don't want that obligation in this unpredictable global climate. I was directed to your site by an inmate. I was looking for a rental. I now understand that you are not really into the rental only business.
