Good physical condition is the best shield against viruses and disease. When traveling long distances, physical fitness is the most important requirement.

After all participants are confirmed to be healthy, it is the responsibility of all touring participants to take care of themselves and their travel partners by limiting interactions with people outside the group.

This is also very important. Tour participants are required to bring personal sanitation and protective equipment such as hand sanitizer and sufficient masks as first protection for themselves.

5. 3M is Mandatory

Health protocols that prevent the transmission of COVI-19 must be followed wherever we are, including when traveling. Wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining social distance are absolute precautions to continue.

Don't forget to check carefully the condition of the vehicle before deciding on long-distance touring. You can carry out independent inspections starting from changing the fluid on the motorbike, checking brakes, tire conditions, and if needed, do service first at an official workshop.
