Absolutely not. Two Wheels Motorcycle Tours realises that each rider’s dream trip is different. While some love riding with the group, others may want to venture off on their own to explore the open road. If you are going to head out solo or in a small group, please be sure to let your Tour Leader know so he/she can assist you with a route and a meeting place for later in the day. We love to send our riders out to enjoy the road in whichever way makes you happy.

• Motorcycle licenses printed in English mean you can rent or ride a motorbike in Australia. If your license is not printed in English or does not include English translations of the relevant sections, then you must get either an International Driving Permit [IDP] or a certified translation of your license. 
• If you have any restrictions on your license in your home country then the same restrictions will apply in Australia. For example: if you have a 35kW limit on your license in your country of residence, then the same restriction will apply in Australia. If you are a younger, learner or provisional rider then we may be able to provide options for you, but you will need to check the bikes you are able to hire by viewing the information in this section. The bike rental companies pages also indicate which bikes you will be able to hire, displaying either a ‘P’ for ‘provisional’ or ‘L’ for ‘learner’ capable bikes.
