Fact sheet

What to know.

This page is the plain-language version of how Guardians support works and what risks remain part of motorcycling.

Guardians helps. Guardians does not run the event.

Guardians does not run track days or manage a racetrack. We provide financial assistance, transport assistance, pre-event advice and guidance, and moral support during the track day event itself.

We can help with: cost barriers, logistics, preparation, questions, and showing up with support.

We do not replace: track-day staff, instructors, corner workers, medical staff, tech inspection, or venue rules.

Our goal is to help you prepare for your first track day and get you to the rider’s meeting ready to ride. After that, you’re in the hands of the track day organization running the event — but we’ll still be there for moral support.

Track days reduce street risk. They do not erase motorcycle risk.

Guardians helps riders get to the track because the track is a better place to learn than the canyon. It is not because the track is perfectly safe. It is because the track is structured, supervised, and built for mistakes.

Come prepared to make your own decisions, ride within your limits, protect your own body, and accept responsibility for your own motorcycle and gear.

Motorcycle insurance usually does not cover track days.

Motorcycle insurance generally doesn't cover track days. If your bike is damaged, you'll be paying out of pocket to fix it.

Assume you are financially responsible for damage to your motorcycle, gear, parts, accessories, and transport home unless you have written confirmation of coverage.

Medical insurance is different from motorcycle insurance.

Medical insurance generally does cover track days, but check with your own policy coverage regarding medical care and transport policies to be sure.

Before the event, know your deductible, emergency coverage, ambulance or helicopter transport rules, network restrictions, and who to call if something happens.
