While riding with DGT, stay safe by:

• Know your own limits
• Ride at your pace, it’s not a race
• Stay hydrated
• Eat meals that will sustain your endurance and alertness
• Avoid collisions by being aware of your surrounds and things that are on the move – other bikes and vehicles, animals (snakes, birds, pigs, roos, sheep, cows, goats yowies, rocks/boulders. Sometimes the stock will be lazing and next minute they are on the move!
• Be alert – look up , down, and to both sides
• Your riding and driving responsibilities are the same – give way, keep to the left, follow any signs that you happen upon
• Ride behind the lead and in front of the sweep
• If you’ve had enough for the day, put your bike on the trailer and ride in the support vehicle
• It is possible that we will come across other vehicles, it is important to either pull over and let them pass
• Being a dirt bike tour, there will be plenty of dust, be aware that this reduces visibility and breathability and is best to avoid being caught up in the dust storm. Distance yourself from the other bikes in the group
• The guides will make regular stops to count heads and offer directional instructions, which will be passed along to each rider. To prevent getting lost – listen and pass on the correct directional information
• Have you group’s back – get in, have fun BUT ensure that you look out for each other!
• At all times follow the instructions of your tour guide and do not put others lives at risk
• Punctures and minor accidents do happen but if we can avoid the serious stuff by engaging our common sense at all times, we will all make it back to base in one piece!
• If emergencies do take place our vehicles are equipped with first aid and resuscitation equipment, and we are trained in first aid and CPR. Our satellite GPS phone is on us at all time and the lead and sweep riders have in-helmet communication devices.
