  • Testimonial from Ian Lockwood
    Having known Elias for many years I decided to entrust my 24 year old Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide to his service. The bike had been standing for more than 10 years. Elias ensured that the 'rejuvenation' work was carried out efficiently and in a very timely manner. The bike started on the very first push of the starter button. I am more than satisfied with the standard of the work and also with the cost. The attention to detail was second-to-none. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this operation to all Harley owners. Furthermore, if anyone is thinking about doing a Harley tour in Cyprus, 'Go For It!'

    Motolife Tours Cyprus has been one of the best experiences of my life! Of all of the great things i'll write about Motolife, I must start with the Owner and Tour Leader, Elias. Elias has been an incredible tour guide, teacher and more than anything a dear dear friend. His care, professionalism, attention to detail and love of Harleys all bring together this amazing experience. I want to comment on all of the aspects that has made experience with Motolife so special and why I will be coming back again and again. Read more

    If you want a superb riding experience then you must got to Motolife Tours and put yourself in the expert and experienced hands of Elias. I am getting ready to ride a Harley from LA to NYC and had never ridden a Harley before , in fact it has been many years since I rode a bike ! So the prospect of flying into LA jumping on a 1500 cc bike and setting off was quite daunting so I needed help fast! Luckily a friend of mine told me about Motolife Tours and a quick enquiry led to my riding inadequacy issues being resolved !
    I had a few weeks periods of practical instruction starting on a Sportster 883 and then moved up to a Fatboy Softtail and I loved every minute of it. More importantly I felt safe and under control throughout. As Elias guided me though the transition. My instruction culminated with a 2 day tour of the island which was simply outstanding and an experience I will not only fondly remember but will undertake again once I come back from the US.
    I can't thank Elias enough for helping me become a more proficient and able rider and now part of the Harley Davidson riding fraternity and I will most definetly be looking at getting a bike of my own once I get back to Cyprus. Thanks for all you have done for me Elias !!
