Motorcycle License Requirements
Do I need a bike licence?
To access any of the trails or participate in trail riding activities like the navigation challenge or the GPX challenge, you will need to have your motorcycle license. For on-site track riding, a motorcycle license isn't mandatory; instead, acquiring a temporary MA event license priced at $38, is required. Children will also need a temporary event license, and we're finalizing the associated cost, which will be announced soon. Additionally, those who are interested in racing events must hold an MA race license and they may also participate in all on-site activities, whether competitive or recreational.
Can I ride an unregistered bike?
For the trail riding, you must have a recreational registered or full registered motorcycle. For on-site riding, you do not need to have a registered motorcycle. The park pass option is the only option for unregistered bikes.
Can I bring multiple motorcycles?
You can bring 1 motorcycle to do the Nav/GPX Challenge and 1 to try on-site activities. You will need to get an additional sticker for your second motorcycle.
Could you clarify when the MA license is necessary? Is it mandatory solely for riding on the onsite MX track or also for the trails ride?
It's necessary if you don't have a motorcycle licence. It basically acts as a temporary motorcycle licence so you can participate in the event. However,the only way you can use it is on site. In order to ride in the trails, you need to follow the normal government rules and have a full motorcycle license.
