RULES AND REGULATIONS

Booking and Cancellation Policies:

A nonrefundable deposit will be processed at time of booking:
- $50/day non refundable deposit for training rentals
- 50% for trainings and workshops
- Bookings within 30 days of training or workshop date are charged remaining price.
Balance is due 30 days prior to tour.
If you must cancel your reservation, you must do so in writing. If you cancel within thirty (30) days of the start date, you are responsible for 100% of the cost of the package and/or rental you reserved.
We are unable to offer refunds. IN some cases we may offer a 1 year credit.
In an effort to maintain our tour pricing, a 3% credit card processing fee will be added to deposits/payments of $1000 or more. Riders are welcome to pay by check to avoid this fee. If applicable, your reservation confirmation email will ask you to reply with your payment preference.

Rider Requirements:

Motorcycle endorsement holder (permit is not acceptable for rentals) with experience riding on public roads.
Rider should be in good health and able to endure several hours on bike each day.
Rider should possess basic riding skills: rear brake usage, clutch/throttle control, etc. Required skill level may vary somewhat depending on tour choice.

Recommended Riding Gear:

These items may just help you have a more comfortable and, in turn, more enjoyable ride:

Gore Tex over socks: There are quite a few river crossings and even more mud puddles on our routes.
Neck Buff or similar: We love these neck tubes that keep bugs, dirt and UV rays off of our necks and faces.

Personal Motorcycle Requirements:

If you are renting a bike from us, please review the MOTORCYCLE RENTALS tab above. If you plan to ride your own bike on a tour, please read carefully. Be sure to perform necessary maintenance (brakes, battery, oil, air filter, tires, etc.) and test ride your bike well before the tour so you have time to sort out any issues that may arise. Feel free to contact MotoVermont for bike-specific tire and equipment recommendations.

All bikes must be fully street-legal, registered and insured. Riders must hold a valid driver's license with current motorcycle endorsement. Bike size limitations may apply on certain tours.

Tires: Should be off-road ready (Dunlop D606, Continental TKC 80, etc) and have good tread.
Safety: Rearview mirror(s), horn, turn signals, brake light, headlight and tail light- all functional.
Bike protection: Bike should be equipped with engine, hand and radiator guards.
Tools: Rider should carry any tools that pertain to that specific bike, especially axle wrench and spark plug socket. Rider should carry extra tube and/or patch kit.
