I’d like to say a big ‘THANK YOU’ to the guys at CYMA for the recent Cape York — Cairns trip which was absolutely fantastic. After previously completing the 5 day tour I knew it was only a matter of time before I signed up for another adventure with CYMA. I thought I knew what to expect, however the 8 day trek down from The Tip exceeded even my expectations.

To Lincoln: “Mate, your experience, professionalism and sense of humour elevated what was a really good trip into an exceptionally enjoyable all–round experience. Even when the going got tough you didn’t waver, you just got on with the job. You’re a true pro at what you do.”

To Joel: “You’re just a really good bloke and great to be around, whether on the trail, around the campfire at night or throwing a shape or two on the dancefloor at PJs! I’ll never forget that day doing the Creb Track — what an unbelievable challenge full of highs and lows. Thanks heaps mate and I hope to see you again soon.”

To Roy: “You’ve got a fantastic business in what I consider to be the best place in the world. Your experience and thoroughness shows in the way everything is done at CYMA. As a business owner myself I understand what it takes to get a business to the level that yours is at, where things are humming. You should be very proud. If anybody tells you to change anything about the way you do things then my advise is “Don’t listen to them — it’s already perfect!!”

See you all again real soon,

Roy & team,
Just a quick note to express our thanks and appreciation for our two day experience over last weekend. Joel was the best tour guide and showed plenty of patience with a couple of amateaur riders. He did teach us both plenty and has only motivated us to want to do it again at some stage in the future and I can assure you we will inform many of our friends and work colleagues of the fantastic experience we had. Furthermore, not only was Joel the ultimate tour guide — he is also a great young man and we thoroughly enjoyed his company on the Saturday evening. Thanks again to you and your fantastic team for allowing us to enjoy this ride as much as we did.

Dear Roy,

I have just had my first week back in Sydney and hating every minute of it!

I wanted to take this opportunity to write to you to thank you for what was truly an experience of a lifetime, on many levels. You should be very proud of the business that you run and the joy and excitement it brings to those that undertake it.

After doing it for so long there are probably things that you take for granted, as we can all do, but you truly live in a special place and are fortunate enough to travel in a unique part of the world on a weekly basis. Its amazing how a few weeks in the outback, including the week in Cape York, tends to put other matters in perspective!

On a lighter note, even my Husqvarna TE450 (at the farm) seemed more rideable after the week on your bikes!

Once again a big thank you to both you, Renae and your guys.

Hey there, Roy, Renae

I just wanted to say thanks again for an amazing trip that I'll never forget, it's one of the best things I've ever done and that's all because of the crew you have and the passion you have for what you do and that you choose to share that with others, I will definitely be back again (for a job) ha. Oh and also thanks for showing me cape trap... its f----g brilliant. Say thanks to the boys too.

Hi Roy

Just a quick note to thank you and the boys (and of course Renae) for the 5 day trip we completed last Friday. I had a sensational time. At times in life, sadly things do not live up to our expectations. So it’s all the more rewarding when something comes along that actually exceeds our expectations; this was the case with your trip!

I think I was also lucky to be with such a great group of guys. It’s not often that you find yourself sharing 10 year old bottles of red and a tin cup of Moet sitting around a campfire in the back blocks of FNQ.

Trust you enjoy the off-season. I feel sure that you will be hearing from us in the not too distant future re a booking for the 8 day trip.

Safe riding!

Hi Renae I would like to personally thank you, Roy and Lincoln, for giving me and my mates such a fantastic holiday. Both Roy and Lincoln did an excellent job in looking after us and ensuring we made it there and back in one piece. Everything about the trip was top notch. From the bikes, to the trails, to the camping, and even the meals.

So from this I look forward to the next trip I take with you guys, in a couple of years, maybe even Cairns to Darwin if Roy’s plans work out.

P.S If you come across a collared T shirt with your logo on it, [similar to the one Lincoln had on tour] let me know as I would be certainly interested in purchasing.

Hey guys,
Just dropping you an email to thank you for the most awesome ride we've ever been on! All of us absolutely loved every minute of it and we dont recommend changing one bit of it. You've given us an experience of a life time seeing Crocs up close and personal and scenery we never knew existed. Cheers!

Hi Renae thanks for a great trip to the cape, it would be at the top of my list, you guys are so far ahead of your game, compared to your opposition it not even funny. It will be my recommendation to a lot of dirt bikers about you business and your staff on how professional you guys are. Once again thanks very much. We will be back to do this again.

Dear Roy, Linc, Joel, Scott and Renae

From the moment that I booked my 8 day Cape York Motorcycle tour, I knew I was in for a great trip.

Little did I know I would finish the 8 days in total awe of what I had seen, the riding that I experienced, and the professionalism that you and your employees had shown us.

Brand new DRZ400’s greeted us upon arrival making good your promise that you updated your bikes yearly even to the extent where the blue protective wrapping was still on the indicator dials!!

A fantastic cooked brekkie supplied by the magnificent Renae and a light hearted but stern briefing on the pitfalls of “First Day Fever” and the treacheries of the Cape by Roy and Linc seemed to settle some of the nervous excitement that a few of the lads were feeling.

Over the next 8 days, we were treated to the BEST and most varied terrains that I have ever been privileged to ride. Everything a rider could ever want was provided on a daily basis, ranging from some of the deepest rutted out hills I have ever seen / fallen into, river crossings, high speed bush tracks, shallow, deep, and extra deep sand trails!! Oh yeah, and some of the most spectacular countryside I’ve seen. But that always played second fiddle to the riding.

Thanks Linc for your leadership. Your riding ability is insane but your professionalism in everything from setting up camp, maintaining the bikes to keeping the fire stoked all night was incredible to see. You are indeed a credit to Roy and Renae’s company. Thanks also for your cool head during times of crisis... I’m sure you’re not going to forget my brother in a hurry!!

Joel, great job for your first tour for Roy mate. Your undying patience when picking guys bikes up and when you were up to your knees in mud digging someone out of a creek, you remained unfazed and good humored NICE WORK!!

Scotty, we looked forward to seeing you every afternoon and the bounty that you had prepared for us. Cheers for the great nibbles, sensational meals, awesome deserts and sublime cold beers when we rolled in from another sweaty day at the office. Not once did we go hungry all tour and your insistence that we did not lift a finger in food preparation was like being back at home with mum... Kind of!!

I even managed to squeeze Roy’s secret damper recipe out of the big fella in a moment of weakness... Cheers Roy, I’ll claim it as my own!

Roy, I’ve saved the best for last...THANK YOU for every day, hour, and second of the ride. A consummate professional who is clearly in love with his job. This rubbed off on every one of us and you certainly gave us every cent of our money’s worth (Especially the 13 hours on day 5 which was grueling but phenomenal!!). Thanks for the adventure that everyone who loves riding has to do more than once in a lifetime. I’ll sure as hell be back, but this time we are coming back en mass!!

Awesome touch with the champers when we got to the Cape also Roy. We felt as though we had discovered the place ourselves!!

Can’t thank you all enough for fanning my already unhealthy obsession for riding and I am more than happy to spread the love about Roy, Renae and all of the guys at Cape York Motorcycle Tours to anyone who has a spare 12 hours to listen!!

Guys,
I have put up a revised website including a lot more action shots from Rob and Danny. Check it out.
I have a couple of corrections to make but you may want to send the link on to your friends so they can see the ‘real story’.

Hi Renee , Roy Linc and the rest of the crew there at capeyork motorcycles.
Well its about 3 weeks since I did the tour to the tip and I still find myself thinking about it most days.Just received a copy of all the photos Danny & Rob took, some great memories captured. Thank you for making this trip the best trail riding I have done, your Experience, professionalism, knowledge, Humor made this trip great.
Maybe we can tempt you guys over here to Central Otago for a well earned break during your off season. Roy I would really look forward to taking you into some of our trailriding areas that are right on my backdoor step. Some breathtaking sights to be had. Any way thanks again and lets keep in touch.

CYMCA,
I wanted to let you know how much fun I had on our 8 day ride to the Top just finished. I have travelled widely and i can say that this trip tops the list in terms of adventure,scenery and i especially enjoyed the company.
Roy was great, I especially enjoyed his personality and his calmness. I hope to catch up with him again. Lincoln and Joel were both fantastic too.
I am thrilled i have done the trip and will certainly recommend you to anyone I think may be interested in heading up your way.
Once again thank-you to you all for the most fantastic trip. I shall treasure the memories forever
