Frequently asked questions

You can come to our training and experience rides without a driving licence. The youngest participant of our week-long camp was 11 years old. A licence follows the statutory age limits (A2 from 18, unrestricted A from 24, or from 20 after two years on A2).

For off-road training, for the closed race track and for experience rides you do not need a licence, because we ride away from public roads. You only need one where we go out on the road (road tours and expeditions).

It differs from service to service. Experience rides: we lend the bikes, you go through five of them during the ride. Off-road training: 5 500 CZK on your own bike, 8 800 CZK with our BMW. Weekend off-road training: 13 000 CZK on your own, 18 000 CZK with our BMW. Private race track training: you ride your own motorcycle, ours can be arranged in advance for an extra charge. Private off-road training: bike hire is included. Expeditions: the bike and all fuel are included.

We ride in the rain. Riding in the wet is valuable experience and off road it is often the most fun. We only cancel in extreme weather, when riding would not be safe, and in that case we offer you an alternative date.

On tarmac we ride at the race track in Vysoké Mýto. Off road we use the motocross tracks at Mohelnice, Šiklův mlýn, Třebíz, Horní Újezd, Benátky u Litomyšle and Ostrov u Lanškrouna. Trial is ridden in Dolní Čermná, and the base for the week-long camps is Desná u Litomyšle. The exact venue is always shown with the published date.

Sign up for date alerts. As soon as a place frees up or we open a new date, you will be the first to know. When demand is high we add extra dates. In the meantime, private training can be arranged outside the published dates.

Set up a date alert on the Dates page and we will email you as soon as we open a new one. If you do not want to wait, private training can be arranged on practically any day. Expedition dates are agreed individually, so write to us and tell us when suits you.
