Insurance excess

A £500 insurance excess applies in the event of any damage or loss to the hired motorcycle. You are responsible for this amount in the event of an accident or damage, regardless of fault.

Minor damage policy

Any minor damage to the motorcycle (e.g. scratches, dents, or scuffs) will be charged at RoadRider's discretion, based on the extent and nature of the damage. Repeated issues, such as dropping the bike, will result in the immediate termination of the hire agreement without refund.

Responsibility for fines and legal violations

Any speeding fines, parking fines, or other traffic law violations incurred while the motorcycle is in your possession are your full responsibility, including any associated costs and penalties. RoadRider School of Motorcycling is not liable for any fines or penalties that occur during the hire period.

Prosecution of underage riders

Under the UK Traffic Act, students under the age of 18 are not exempt from prosecution. Any legal violations or offences will be treated according to the full extent of the law, and RoadRider School of Motorcycling holds no liability for any fines, penalties, or legal consequences incurred.

Legal right to ride

By signing below, you confirm that you hold a valid driving licence that permits you to operate a motorcycle on public roads, and that you are not currently banned, disqualified, or otherwise restricted from riding. Any misrepresentation of this status will be considered a breach of this agreement and may result in immediate termination of the hire agreement.

Safety, conduct, and attitude

Helmet and safety gear: it is mandatory to wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear at all times while operating the motorcycle, including minimum footwear of walking boots that cover the ankle — trainers and anything leaving your ankle exposed aren't acceptable. Denim jeans with no rips are required; nylon or stretch-fit style trousers are not acceptable. Failure to meet this standard may void your insurance, result in additional penalties, or mean we have to turn you away on the day without a refund.
Eyesight and licence checks: every session starts with an eyesight check and a review of your licence — both are DVSA requirements we can't waive. If you don't meet the eyesight standard, or arrive without a valid licence, training can't go ahead and the session ends there with no refund, as the instructor's time and the bike booking are committed regardless.
Traffic laws: adherence to all traffic laws and regulations is required. Reckless or unsafe riding will result in immediate termination of the hire agreement without refund.
Alcohol and drugs: operating a motorcycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of this agreement without refund.
Mental attitude and behaviour: safe motorcycle operation requires a responsible, calm, and focused mindset. Any behaviour demonstrating aggression, heightened anxiety, or emotional distress that may pose a risk to yourself or others will result in immediate termination of the hire agreement at RoadRider's discretion, without refund.

Liability waiver

By signing below, you acknowledge and accept that motorcycle riding carries inherent risks, and that RoadRider School of Motorcycling is not liable for any injuries or damages sustained as a result of your participation in this rental agreement. You also confirm that you have the appropriate level of skill and experience to safely operate the rented motorcycle.

Declaration and agreement

I, the undersigned, have read and fully understood the terms and conditions outlined above and agree to abide by them during the hire period. I confirm that I have a valid licence to operate a motorcycle, am not disqualified or banned from riding, accept responsibility for any traffic violations, and agree to pay the insurance excess of £500 if required. I also accept RoadRider's discretion to charge for minor damages and understand that repeated incidents such as dropping the bike will lead to termination of this agreement. I understand that if I am under 18 years of age, I am still fully accountable for any legal violations under the UK Traffic Act. I further understand that I must maintain a calm and responsible attitude while riding, and accept that any signs of aggression, anxiety, or emotional distress may result in the immediate termination of this hire agreement.

I have read, understood, and agree to the terms above.
