Ride pillion along the Sunshine Coast

1. The activity and its risks

A JoyRide is a pillion passenger experience on a road-registered motorcycle ridden by a Sunshine Coast Motorcycle Hire & Tours rider. Motorcycling carries inherent risks including falls, collisions, road hazards, weather, other road users, and injury or death to the passenger. You participate voluntarily and with full knowledge of those risks.

2. Assumption of risk

You accept all risks of the ride, including injury, property damage, and loss of personal belongings. You agree to ride only if you are fit and well enough to do so.

3. Release and indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you release and indemnify 1E Group Pty Ltd ATF Garth Taylor Family Trust trading as Sunshine Coast Motorcycle Hire & Tours, its directors, riders, employees and contractors from all claims, demands, losses or liability arising from your participation in the ride. Nothing in this waiver excludes rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

4. Helmet and protective gear

A compliant helmet is supplied and must be worn, fastened, for the whole ride. We recommend enclosed footwear, long pants and a jacket. You may be refused the ride if you are not properly equipped.

5. Instructions from the rider

You must follow all directions from your rider, remain seated and hold on with both feet on the pegs at all times, keep your feet off the exhaust, and never mount or dismount until the rider tells you it is safe.

6. Alcohol, drugs and medication

You must not ride as a passenger while affected by alcohol, drugs or medication that impairs your ability, and you must not bring alcohol or illegal substances on the ride. The rider may end the ride without refund if you appear affected or behave unsafely.

7. Health and physical suitability

You confirm you have disclosed any health conditions, pregnancy, injury, medication or disability that could affect your safety as a pillion passenger, and that you can comfortably sit on and mount a motorcycle.

8. Age and guardianship

Passengers under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign on their behalf. Passengers must be at least 8 years old and fit our gear. Photo identification may be requested on the day.

9. Changes, cancellation and weather

Rides may be rescheduled or cancelled by us for unsafe weather, mechanical or rider reasons, in which case you may rebook or receive a refund. Cancellations by you within 24 hours of the ride, or a no-show, are not refundable.

10. Photographs and privacy

Photographs or video may be taken during the ride and used by us for promotion unless you tell us you prefer not to appear. We collect your details only to provide the ride, keep them securely, and never sell them.
