About Respect My Ride

Choose a destination you want to tour and a bike that suits your needs check date’s are available and send to owner to communicate your suitable to hire.

The cost is the agreement between both parties and deposit to be paid to Respect my Ride until Bike is taken for the rental.

This is up to you and the person renting your bike, as long as you cover all your expenses. Might have an agreement to use the same or similar bike as theirs. This is up to both the renter and rider might do a good price if they rent to you.

It is the responsibility of both parties to do their own research on potential renters or people renting bikes. Ask questions if in doubt. Respect my ride will filter out any suspected fraudulent members. But in this day and age it is hard to police, we will try our best and all suspected fraudster should reported .

This is to safe guard both! If bike is not available on pick-up or not road worthy then deposit is refunded. If customer fails to turn up on agreed date or cancels last minute then deposit goes to bike rental owner for there inconvenience.

Yes if the owner feels you do not have the experience to ride the bike, this is the concept behind this, Respect your ride and respect owners discretion on who rides there bikes. If you have a similar sized bike on the site renting then should be straight forward, but please respect the decision.

When travelling, insurance is a must, have good comprehensive travel insurance, and the bike  your hiring make sure you know what excess you will have to pay if you do have a accident. Have contact detail road side assist and owners mobile.

Every country has different risks this will be up to the individual talking to the owner about the routes they will take and the bikes location when left overnight. Suggest chains, trackers or a good alarm. As most bikes do have limited storage all personal belongings should be kept close.

Bike should be returned as given. Up to the owner to clean bike to inspect if rider has not been able to clean on return( I would personally prefer this to having it done in a rush) fuel toped up to agreement on rental.

While bike is rented all tolls parking fines and traffic fines will be the riders obligation to pay, the owners responsible to inform rider of rules and regulations to limit the chance of this but also to forward the evidence to rider( this could be after client has returned home as fines take time to come through post).

Ask to see last service history, B,O,L,T,S check the Brakes Oil levels all the Lights work the Tyres are good and correct pressure and the Suspension travels well and no leaks.

Every country has different rules, insure you communicate your travel plans and ask owner if the route could cause any conflicts. Europe is a prime example can ride across a few countries in one day. Respect my ride and the countries we ride in.
