An update from Ian Burgess
Owner of Redtread in Spain:
“From the very beginning, my aim was to build Redtread and help it achieve a solid reputation of providing absolute excellence in all aspects of its every day business.
When I bought Redtread from it’s original owner back in 2002, it had a handful of customers, no database, badly maintained bikes and lots of debt which the original owner hid away from me; however, I saw a great opportunity to make something very special from the original idea.
My 32 years worth of off-road riding and racing and the connections this brings to the business, plus my working background in brand development, helped me to achieve my first goal of making Redtread into being the best Off -Road School and riding experience in Europe. We know this because you guys, our customers, tell us this in your feedback.
My second goal was to bring specialized excellence into the business in the shape of Britain’s best Dakar Rally man, Honda UK’s Mick Extance.
Myself and Mick knew each other from competing in enduro racing many years previous.
Mick Extance has been working successfully with Redtread for over a year. Our customers love the experience and we will be continuing to make Redtread's Mick Extance Tours available throughout the year. Proceeds from the Mick Extance Tours go towards funding his ongoing Dakar attack.
My greatest goal was achieved much quicker than expected when Honda UK’s Roger Harvey contacted me to discuss the opportunity of using their range of CRF X Enduro bikes.
I was delighted to accept the offer just a few weeks ago and I am incredibly excited about the future for Redtread which is now sporting 13 brand new CRF's and an invaluable official alliance with the mighty Honda!
Now we provide our customers with the best of everything.
A choice of the best off road motorcycles within Honda’s CRF X range, the exclusive opportunity to ride with and receive tuition from Honda’s Mick Extance, we offer the best accommodation within my Redtread Country House where the Redtread customers exclusively enjoy the peaceful and private surroundings and facilities, the best service provided by Team Redtread before, during and after your visit along with the best tuition included in every tour by myself and our sweeper rider.
Redtread never rests. We will always be evolving, we will always be learning and we will always be improving from the fantastic feedback which our customers provide so that we can offer you, our customer, the ultimate Off Road Experience....every time".
