Note
Please be aware that the itinerary may need to change due to weather, road conditions, or other factors. Please be flexible, but rest assured your tour leader will make the final day-to-day decisions only after consultation with the group members.
On arrival, you are required to pay an Accidental Damage Deposit of 500 EUR (or equivalent if you prefer to pay in your local currency and preferably in cash) to cover damages to any of the motos. This will be returned in full at the end of your tour, provided no damage has been caused.
Most people have dropped their bikes at some stage in their riding career, and it is found that Enfields are very forgiving in this respect. Minor damage can sometimes be fixed easily in-house, but sometimes it can not. If any of the motos are dropped or crashed, causing damage that cannot be repaired in this manner, you are liable for the cost of the repair. This will be deducted from your Accidental Damage Deposit. Thankfully, this is a rarity!
All rentals include third-party liability insurance. For insurance purposes, all riders must be over 25 years of age and be in possession of a valid motorcycle license for at least two years.
You can also use your own Enfield or classic bike for this tour (please contact Enfield Classic Moto Tours for the rates).
