Who We Are

Our Story

A group of mates from Dublin who turned a love of motorcycles into something bigger.

It Started With A Spin

Handy Spins began the way most good things do in Ireland - over a pint. A few of us from Swords, Dublin had been doing weekend spins together for years. The Wicklow Mountains, the coast roads of West Cork, Sally Gap on a Sunday morning.

In 2018, someone suggested we take the bikes to Europe. We loaded up, took the ferry to France, and spent a week carving through the Pyrenees. By the time we got home, we knew we had to do it again.

Word spread. Friends brought friends. What started as an informal group of 4 became a proper outfit running multiple trips a year across Ireland and the continent.

Our Mission

No Motorways. No Boring Bits.

We believe the journey is the destination. Every Handy Spins route is hand-picked and pre-ridden to make sure you're on the best roads, not the fastest ones.

We keep groups small - max 12 riders - so everyone rides at their own pace and nobody gets left behind. Whether you're on a sportsbike, adventure bike, or classic, you're welcome.

And when the helmets come off at the end of the day, the craic is just as important as the riding. Good food, local pubs, and stories that get taller with every telling.

What We Stand For
