TERMS & CONDITIONS
A shared agreement for a safe, focused learning environment
At TractionWerks Moto Guild, safety is always the highest priority. Training on a closed-circuit minimizes - but does not eliminate - risk. Please remember that these are days for developing your skills, not setting lap records. The Guild's courses are intended to ridden well within your comfort zone while focusing on the current exercise. However, we recognise that things do happen. So, we've created these Terms & Conditions to help make clear our expectations of you and what you can expect from us.

SAFE PASSING ETIQUETTE
SAFE PASSING IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PASSING RIDER
If you want to pass, you must pass for the other rider's comfort. You should only pass when the rider you're overtaking is parallel or moving away from you, never in corners. If your pass causes the other rider to change their trajectory, you're at fault, and you've screwed up.
The training courses are not about lap times! It just doesn't matter. If you're at all uncertain about the safety of a pass, it's not safe. VIMC has safe places where you can slow and allow a slower rider to increase their gap and give you an open track.
As a rider, you need to be aware there may be riders who are comfortable at a quicker pace, and they may want to pass you. Your responsibility is being predictable and consistent. You may not know when you're about to be passed, so by maintaining your position, a rider behind you can prepare for a safe pass.
WAIVERS & RELEASE OF LIABILITY
This isn't knitting. Motorcycles sometimes fall down and sometimes the rider is on them. You will be required to sign a waiver before proceeding to training. Please read them carefully for your own understanding and ask questions for anything you need to have clarified.
