The Long Distance Riders requires you complete the form of documentation for your starting and ending point. Both the beginning and ending form must be completely filled out and signed by a witness. (These forms are on the website for your convenience.)

Someone other than yourself must sign as a witness. Wherever you decide to start and end, we must have “official” signed documentation. Please include your witness’ name and address so that we may contact them for verification.

Keep all your receipts along the way.

While on your Long Distance Ride you will be stopping along the way for gas, water, lunch, etc. Keep all your receipts as this will help to maintain a log of your route and often contain the date and time. During the Long Distance Riders review of your documentation we will be checking to see if the receipts went in accordance to the route that you documented in your records to us.

Use the checklist to the left to make sure you send us everything that is needed to obtain your certification. (Please print your name and address clearly as this can cause delays in sending your documentation.)

We would also like for you to send us your email address and phone number so we can call if we have any problems reading or identifying your route, or need to ask you questions regarding your trip in general.

Also send your payment for certification to receive your patch and certificate. If you would like to purchase other patches or license holders at this time, payment for these items must be included as well. Check our website periodically as we plan to include more Long Distance Riders items for sale in the near future.

Group Riders Only (6 or more):

In lieu of a beginning and ending gas receipt, a signature of a witness with date and time on your LDR starting and ending form will be accepted, due to the fact that a group of motorcycles waiting for their turn at the gas pumps may cause congestion and costly minutes when starting and ending the ride. We still need all other documentation as is stated in the above certification rules.
