eRag bike rental - PACKING LIST

You will on your dirtbike between 6-8 hours per day, many days in a row. Is your body ready for this? It is best to start preparing so you can make the most of your time riding. Being in good physical condition is the best way to make the most of your trip. Use this trip as motivation to get fit!

SAFETY

Safety is our number one concern.

You will be riding in potentially difficult and unpredictable terrain every day. Having the correct attitude and the proper safety gear will mitigate risk. You must, at all times when on your motorcycle, be wearing proper and complete safety gear.

It is your responsibility to make sure your gear is in good condition and is the proper fit. It is unwise to take untested gear on a trip of this magnitude. Ride with your gear several times before coming on the trip to ensure it fits correctly and is comfortable. There are few things worse than ill fitting or uncomfortable gear.
