All riders accept the risks, sometimes tracks, roads (sealed or unsealed)or any location we take you to, may well have steep, sandy, eroded, dirt, wet or rocky surfaces, with defects either exposed or hidden – entirely the nature of Dirt bike tours. We all accept WA environments may mean we encounter even a freak accident with wildlife. We want our riders who are permitted to rent our bikes to ride safely, with due care and regard for other people and property.

‍

All riders acknowledge motorcycle riding can be dangerous and itcan expose you to the possibility of injury or death. Further, you must acknowledge that sometimes even the way other people ride, drive or act is outside the control of Route 94Tours. Sometimes we are in remote and forest areas so if you are injured and there aren’t any adequate hospital facilities around, then transport of rider via ambulance or helicopter evac may be required. All riders acknowledge if injured and require these ambulance or helicopters etc, they are responsible for all costs associated with it. You agree to get travel insurance to cover all forms of personal injury, repatriation or costs in event of death as essential.  

‍

Route 94 will ask you to read, understand and sign the Indemnity Release form, that Route 94 tours whether guided or self-guided are entirely at your own risk.

In the rare event of a mechanical breakdown or accident, Route 94 support team will make every effort to repair the bike at the trailer.

‍

Riders must cover any cost of replacement parts required.  We have a list of part pieces found in the Support and we can share this with riders at the start of the tour.

‍

Riders cannot undertake their own mechanical repairs on our bikes, without consent and supervision of Route 94 mechanic on duty.

‍

If a bike is so damaged it can’t be ridden, we load it onto the support vehicle. In this case, Route 94 is also under no further obligation to supply or replace it with another bike for completion of rental period, and to this end, no compensation can by claimed by the hirer in respect of this.

Route 94 wants all riders to know they are liable for any and all damage to the bike. Insurance companies like riders to be over 25 years (due to insurance requirements.)

‍

This security bond mentioned earlier ($400) is held in escrow by Route 94 to potentially cover any damage to the bike; alternatively riders can give us credit card details to secure the Bond on the day of the tour.

‍

All of our bikes are registered and insured for on or off road and in case of severe damage or loss; your $400 bond is retained as insurance excess.

‍

Please note, that this insurance does not cover any injury to body or personal belongings, damaged or lost.

Western Australia has a highly sophisticated travel monitoring system all throughout our state.

‍

Although much of our riding tours happen in off-road conditions, often we will travel as a group on WA’s paved roads/highway to get to our destination/s.

‍

While Route 94 owners carefully guide all riders to ensure they are riding responsibly, with care and concern for others - any speeding fines, or other penalties issued by WA Police are the responsibility of the Hirer.

‍

Riders must pay these promptly, in accordance with our rental agreement. Note: Route 94 reserves the right to apply a $60 handling fee added to any unpaid fines.

Yes. Route 94 is not liable for any personal injury, accident or illness however caused.

‍

Our recommendation that all riders get personal accident insurance or travel insurance which definitely covers motorcycling – we accept no responsibility for our client’s failure to organise appropriate insurance cover.

‍

If you are injured and need an ambulance or helicopter to assist with your recovery, any and all costs are the responsibility of the rider. Route 94 suggests riders check with WA ambulance service to ensure you are covered.  

WA’s weather is fairly consistent (in line with the seasons) and Route 94 owners plan for every scenario of circumstance. But we cannot control mother nature.

‍

‍Elements play a role because sometimes the weather has a mind of its own – this said, Route 94 comes prepared to ride in all weather conditions and we will ensure we get you to pack the most appropriate gear to bring with you.

‍

At the end of the day, Route 94 tours are flexible - we can pivot, change the route here and there, all part of the adventure anyway… right?

We know where the best places to stop off and grab a bite are. Route 94 tours include 2 meals per day anyway, usually traditional Australian comfort food, our Tour Support Vehicle has a fully contained camp kitchen, means we can easily cater for these two meals (Breakfast and Dinner) on site.

‍

ALCOHOL: Obviously, alcohol is not included with the cost of the Tour.
