Chris and Dick Byers the shop owners, have used their Aravis Super Touring bikes for the last two years and previous models of this bike before that. Over the years they have toured Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, countries in the Far East and Latin America on this type of bike. They are great go anywhere machines that can be ridden on rough roads and unsurfaced tracks.
