LICENSE CHECK

Can You Ride?

Thirty seconds before you plan the ride — pick the country that issued your license, and we’ll tell you exactly what to bring.

* License + official Japanese translation (JAF): Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, Monaco, Estonia, Slovenia. France & Belgium may use either an IDP or a translation.

PROTOCOL

Before You Ride.

This is not a rental bike.

Custom choppers built on 1990s Harley-Davidson Sportster frames. Rigid rear end. Every bump in the road hits you directly. When—not if—something unexpected happens and you pull over, that's part of the experience. If comfort is what you're after, there's a different shop for that.

THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THIS?

A valid large motorcycle license (unrestricted displacement) is required. License verification will be conducted on the day of your ride. No exceptions.

International Riders: The following documents are required:
① IDP (International Driving Permit) — must include "Category A" for large motorcycles
② Your home country driver's license (original)
③ Passport
※ Without Category A on your IDP, you cannot ride.

Riding with a translation instead of an IDP: Riders from Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, Monaco, Estonia and Slovenia can ride with their home license (original) + an official Japanese translation (issued by JAF). France and Belgium may use either an IDP or a translation.
If alcohol is detected, your ride will be cancelled immediately. Cancellation fees apply.
In case of severe weather, we may cancel rides at our discretion. Full refund will be provided for weather cancellations.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your reservation time. Return the vehicle by the end of your reserved time. Late arrivals may result in reduced ride time.
We provide helmets, gloves, phone holders, and sissy bar bands. These can be added as options when booking your ride.
Long sleeves, long pants, and boots are recommended. Sandals and shorts may result in ride refusal. Please bring warm layers depending on the weather.
Please return the motorcycle with a full tank. Use high-octane (premium) fuel — the YELLOW nozzle at Japanese gas stations. Fuel costs are not included in the rental price.
Our motorcycles have no ETC device. At toll gates, take the GREEN「一般 / General」lane and pay there.

For international riders: please carry both cash and a credit card — around Hakone, some toll booths and shops are cash-only.
Third-party liability insurance (personal injury & property damage) is included.
Vehicle insurance is NOT included. Repair costs for any vehicle damage are the rider's responsibility. We recommend arranging your own optional insurance if concerned.
Two-up (tandem) riding is available as a booking option. Limited to select vehicles.
We can store your luggage at our shop during your ride. Please manage your own valuables.
Overtime is charged at ¥1,250 per 15 minutes. Please inform our staff if you need more time.
More than 5 days before: Free cancellation
5–3 days before: 50% of the fare
3–1 days before: 70% of the fare
Same day: 100% of the fare
