Your Vehicle:

You are responsible for your own motorcycle, the manner in which you decide to ride and for your pillion passenger.

You are required to ride within the law in any country visited.                                                                                                     

ECM Tours will not accept any responsibility for violation of the law.

As we will be traveling through France, it is recommended that you purchase a 'Crit Air certificate' this the French equivalent of the ULEZ charge in the UK and it covers many cities throughout France. We will be happy to provide information on how to do this.

Valid motorcycle insurance is your own responsibility and must be valid for the duration of the tour. Although most comprehensive policies provide European cover, you are required to let your insurer know when you will be travelling abroad.

You are required to take out your own European motorcycle breakdown / recovery policy.                                                                                   

 ECM Tours accept no responsibility for transporting you, your bike or your pillion to any alternative destination in case of breakdown or accident. Furthermore, in case of your motorcycle breaking down, the cost of any repair or service will be solely the responsibility of the rider.

You must carry your driving license, insurance certificate, current MOT and vehicle registration document (V5) at all times.

Travel / Medical Insurance:

Travel & Medical insurance is your own responsibility and must be valid for the duration of the tour and must cover holiday cancellation, accident, illness and death. Please check that you are covered to ride motorcycles abroad as many travel insurance policies only cover up to 125cc. Motorcycling is usually listed in the Dangerous sports section of the policy small print.

Passport:

All travellers should carry a valid passport at all times.

There must more than 6 months left after your return to UK.                                                                                                                                                                                                         Please Note: Most foreign countries ignore the expiry date and count ten years from the issue date.     

Non-UK passport holders must ensure that they meet all visa requirements for the countries included in the chosen tour. 

Refunds:

The trip is based on a minimum of six guests travelling with us, if the trip is not filled it may be cancelled and in this case ONLY; all monies paid will be refunded.

We also reserve the right, in any circumstances, to cancel your booking, giving you eight weeks’ notification and a full refund of all monies paid, unless the circumstances are beyond our control.
