Prohibited Uses

Only Twisted Road Approved Riders can book and drive a motorcycle during a Twisted Road trip. To be an “Approved Rider” means that the member has provided and updated all required documentation, continues to meet all Twisted Road eligibility requirements, and is currently in good standing.

Only the Approved Rider who rented the motorcycle may operate it - no other riders are eligible to operate the motorcycle for any reason.

Engaging in any of the “Prohibited Uses” set forth below with a vehicle rented through Twisted Road will be grounds for fines, suspension and/or cancellation of your membership. It will also lower the renter's liability coverage to state minimum limits or nullify coverage completely where allowable by applicable state law; if the owner has encouraged the engagement in a Prohibited Use, their coverage may be similarly reduced. Engaging in any Prohibited Uses will also eliminate any coverage for the renter for any claims related to physical damage.

Prohibited Uses include:

Permitting someone other than the Approved Rider who rented the vehicle to drive it.
Operating a motorcycle without a current motorcycle endorsement.
Operating a motorcycle without being expert in the use of clutches and manual transmissions. Note: If the clutch or transmission of a motorcycle is damaged during the rental period, the renter will be presumed to be at fault and will be held fully liable for repair of any damaged components of the motorcycle.
Allowing the vehicle to be pushed or towed by anyone other than an authorized law enforcement or service vehicle.
Using a vehicle rented through Twisted Road:
- alcohol above the legal limit, or

in any race, test, or competition;
with the intention to cause damage, or with wanton, willful, or reckless disregard for safety;
to carry persons or property for hire, such as operating as a taxi or parcel delivery service. You may, however, use the motorcycle for business purposes, such as attending meetings;

while the rider is under the influence of:

We charge riders a $750 fee for any violation of our terms of service, other policies, or for engaging in any of the prohibited uses above.
