Riding Gear
As we do understand the bother of flying and carrying your own gear we could rent equipment for riding, just let us know in advance of your sizes so we could prepare in advance. Renting gear per day is charged 35 euros per day.
Insurance
The first one you need to get in your homeland before you leave as a regular tourist insurance for traveling abroad – it’s a standard procedure but it’s mandatory to get it from your homeland or current place of stay before you fly.
The second insurance – you can get insurance on the bikes for bike damage during the tour – the insurance is charged 35 euros per riding day per bike, in the Super Special tour you have 5 riding days – therefore it would be 175 euros in total if something gets broken on the bike.
Otherwise you don’t pay insurance but at the end of the tour whatever is broken needs to be paid as we want to keep the motorcycles tidy and clean for each next tour.1
