A: Yes. Passengers are welcome. They are welcome to ride in the comfort of the support van whenever they like. Also, we can rent them a convertible Mustang to drive it you like. See rides for passenger cost.
A: No, however most participants bring their own helmets. Small lid helmets are provided at the rental store. You can also buy full face helmets at the rental store, but the rentals are not full face.
A: General riding gear. Jeans, long and short sleeved T-shirts, riding shoes or boots, gloves. For summer weather, some long sleeve white T Shirts are a great idea. You will have the opportunity to put a pack in the chase vehicle, so you have some room for error in how much you pack. We also stop by Harley-Davidson shops along the way, so you can purchase things if you want. A well-defined list of items to pack will be sent to you upon completion of your reservation; or, you can request a list from us. Some common items include:
- sunglasses
- camera
- sense of adventure
- SPF 50 Sun Block
A: As little as you want. From the first to the last date of your tour all expenses are covered. That includes:
- gas
- motorcycle insurance - The tour includes the basic VIP insurance, but additional medical, liability, and property insurance is available at time of bike pick up.
- all scheduled meals
- all lodging
- Park fees
A: Lodging ranges from 4 star hotels in Vegas, motels in Hollister, to camping in the middle of nowhere ( Camping is ONLY on custom camping tours ). Most tours include resort hotels and motels.
We share rooms, 2 people in separate beds, per room. Couples will have their own room. Your own personal room is available at an extra room cost, just let us know ahead of time so we can arrange it if you like. Or, decide on tour if extra rooms are available.
Q: If I have a motorcycle, can I ride it on one of your tours?
A: Yes, for almost the same cost as a passenger. This is great for Americans who want to meet other (and often international) riders, and for people who want to discover unknown riding locations that take a lot of time to find alone. My classic car dealership, www.sakowskimotors.com, can sell you a bike in Los Angeles to ride on tour, then handle shipping home to you anywhere in the world.
A: No. Your tour begins in Los Angeles the day of the tour. Arrangements can be made for early Los Angeles hotel accommodations, upon request. Also, we can book your hotel for days after the tour. The hotel we use is close to the LAX airport, and has a shuttle to and from the airport, and to Manhattan and Hermosa Beach. You will want to fly into the LAX airport. We suggest arriving a couple of days early, and leaving a couple of days after the tour so you have time to rest before and after the tour.
A: If you reserve a tour with a deposit, your final payment will be due 120 days prior to your reserved tour date. If you would like to change your method of payment, contact us prior to 120 days before your scheduled tour.
A: Yes. If you cancel a tour reservation prior to 120 days before a reserved tour, you will be refunded the full amount of your payment or deposit, minus a $500 processing fee. Full refunds will not be given to cancellations requested later than 120 days before a reserved tour due to booked hotels and motorcycle rentals. We must book hotels and bikes far in advance to be able to provide a great tour for you.
