Insurance

VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know - in the domain of health (and injury) insurance - that you're completely covered in your own country and that every other country, that is a member of the European Union, has to give you all the needed care.If you haven't obtained your card from your health care insurance, than :

• apply for a card immediately;
• if you cannot receive it in time, ask them to e-mail to you a "Provisional replacement certificate for the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

A list of "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from "urgent medical care abroad". Usually, "racing with car / motorcycle / outboard engines" is listed. But as we do not "race", our activity is not excluded from any treatment. Check if this is also the case with your insurance, and if it is not, just be sure to get an insurance yourself.

 

EYBIS has not only a very good insurance as an organiser, but insures also - on every event - all participants with a good TPL (= third partie liability) insurance.

 

If you have a racing license from your national motorcycle council, be sure to bring it with you.

To bring

• Motorcycle that is technically 100 % fit
• Adapted motor equipment is mandatory for everyone:
  • leather motorsuit (one-piece is best, two-piece allowed)
  • BACK PROTECTOR (!)
  • motor boots
  • motor gloves
  • full face helmet
• Identity card
• Completed and signed waiver of responsability
• Good humour, discipline, good-fellowship, fit body and a clear mind
