All riders are responsible for their own accident insurance. If you are not a member of the ambulance then it is advisable to do so before the start of the tour. We will not be responsible for any costs associated with evacuation of a injured rider. All riders are required to fill out and sign an indemnity form before the start of the tour.

A.You need to bring your clothes and toiletries in a small overnight bag for transportation to the first nights accommodation. A back pack and camel back is essential. If supplying your own bike you will need a well equipped fanny pack containing basic tools for minor repairs to your own bike and a few spares like tube, levers, spark plugs, chain link and a pump. You only need tools if you bring your own bike.

Q. Can I bring my own bike?

Q. What about fuel and oil?
A.If riding your own bike it must be full of fuel on arrival so we can get an early start on day one. We use unleaded on tour and fill from our support vehicle. Two stroke riders will need to supply own oil, which will be carried on the support vehicle. You should also carry a 500ml spare in your pack just in case.

A. Yes. If bringing your own, a good helmet, pants, gloves, knee and elbow guards, goggles and boots are minimum requirements. We also recommend body armour, kidney belt and a camelback with a 3 litre capacity.
