Your accommodation will depend on how many guests there are. Bike You has one double room on site so they can accommodate one rider or two that are happy to share. If there are more riders, Bike You will outsource an accommodation, probably a local AirBnb.
Program
You will get started early, to make the most of the (slightly) cooler part of the day. If you need a pick up, Bike You will come and get you from your hotel or airport. Bike you will bring you to their rural location on the edge of the Gunn Point Hunting Reserve and get cracking as soon as you can slip on your lid.
You can get onto the dirt within meters of the gate, but you will often be put in fifteen minutes of bitumen, in order to get further afield.
Bike You can shift and change most of the tour, so if they turn out to be too easy or too hard they can be changed on the fly. The best way to ensure this doesn’t happen is to be honest about your ability and read the description of each tour carefully.
From beginner to A-grade racer there will be endless riding in some spectacular places that you'll remember for a long time to come. Bike You endeavors to only put riders of a similar ability together.
The bikes
Bike You has bikes to suit everyone. From novice to the well-heeled ADV guru. The bikes are fastidiously maintained and well prepared for the terrain you will ride. Every bike is cleaned and undergoes a systematic 44 point check prior to each ride.
In the case of a two day ride, all the bikes can be fitted with luggage. Most can take either hard or soft panniers. All the bikes are registered.
The rego in the Northern Territory includes a level of personal accident insurance but you should ensure you have ambulance cover and appropriate medical insurance, especially if you’re not an Australian resident.
Support vehicle
A support vehicle costs no extra and will attend where appropriate. Most tours do not need a support vehicle to follow, but one is always on hand.

Guides
Tim Walker
Tim's riding experience is as wide as it is deep. He's ridden and raced such a variety of disciplines, and is able to bring them together with a deep understanding of how a motorcycle works. Knowing why a bike does the things it does is crucial to training and coaching. Tim's first love has always been off-road. Be it in the forestry of Mid Wales (UK), or in the sand dunes of the Middle East, Tim is at home where the terrain is rough. It starts with trials followed Enduro, adventure riding, supermoto, and finally road racing. Tim has also been instructing for licenses for almost ten years now.
