DISCLAIMER AND PHOTO RELEASE
I understand that riding a motorcycle is subject to both foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and dangers. I further understand that operating a motorcycle is an activity that contains inherent risk of serious personal injury, dismemberment, paralysis, loss, property damage, and possible death. I hereby knowingly and freely accept the risks of all personal injury and property damage to both myself, my passenger, and to others arising from my participation in the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas tour.
I do hereby release, discharge, waive, hold harmless and agree that my dependents, succesors, heirs, executors, and assigns do release, discharge, waive, hold harmless against, and indemnify Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas, its owners, employees, officers, agents, affiliates, directors, and assigns (collectively, “released parties”) from any and all claims, whether civil or criminal, including claims of death, bodily injury, illness, loss or property damage, however caused, arising from or related to a Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas activity or event.
I fully understand that I may encounter riding conditions and roads that I have not traveled before, have no prior knowledge of, and therefore will ride within a manner that is considered safe for those riding conditions. I agree to ride within my riding ability. I certify that I am in good health and have no mental or physical impairments that may affect my safety or the safety of others. I further certify (operator only) that I am a licensed motorcycle operator and that I hold a currently valid, state issued motorcycle license or endorsement to my driver’s license. I agree to ride in a safe manner and obey all traffic laws. Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas highly recommends that all riders/passengers in the tour wear a Department of Transportation (DOT) approved helmet and other protective clothing/gear.
I understand that conditions at designated tour stop locations may change due to weather, construction, acts of God, and other reasons. If a tour stop location becomes unsafe, I understand that I am not to put myself or anyone else in an unsafe situation. I shall report the unsafe condition to the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas coordinator.

I understand and agree that all photos that I submit to Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas will become the property of the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas and will not be returned.
