General Regulations – Drivers and Demonstrations | Dijon-Prenois and Le Mans
These regulations apply to riders registered for demonstrations organized as part of the 2027 Coupes Moto Légende, at the following two events: Dijon-Prenois, on May 22 and 23, 2027, and Le Mans, during the 24 Hours of Le Mans motorcycle weekend, from April 8 to 11, 2027. The specific provisions for each site, the categories, the program and any special instructions are communicated by the organizer.
ARTICLE 1 – DEFINITION
The Coupes Moto Légende is a friendly gathering of vintage motorcycles, featuring demonstrations on the track. Its aim is to encourage the use and appreciation of vintage motorcycles and to promote the preservation of the cultural heritage they represent. Any notion of competition or speed is excluded.
ARTICLE 2 – ORGANIZER
The Coupes Moto Légende are organised by the company ÉDITIONS LVA (hereinafter "the organiser"), within the framework of these regulations.
ARTICLE 3 – DEMONSTRATIONS AND REGISTRATION
The demonstrations allow participants to ride their vintage motorcycles on the circuit of the event for which they are registered, after their request has been approved by the organizer. Registration is personal and non-transferable. Once confirmed, it is final and non-refundable, even in the event of cancellation by the participant.
ARTICLE 4 – REGISTRATION VALIDATION STAGE:
The validation process takes place in two stages. The initial login to register the rider and motorcycle in a series is a pre-registration with payment. A first validation by the organizer is carried out within 7 days if payment was made by credit card. An email is sent to the rider following this first stage. The email also informs them that final validation will be communicated no later than one month before the event date. Upon final validation, they will be informed of their demonstration series. If their registration is not accepted, the payment is fully refunded.
Pre-registration procedures
Pre-registration requires immediate payment of the full registration fee.
This payment constitutes an application to participate, not a final registration.
Registration is only confirmed after the organizer has validated the application.
Payment and validation of the file
Payment is debited at the time of pre-registration.
Application validation is based on technical criteria, safety requirements, machine category, and availability.
The organizer may refuse an application without being required to provide a detailed explanation.
Refund in case of non-selection
If the application is rejected, the participant will receive a full refund, free of charge.
The refund will be processed within a maximum of 14 days of notification of non-selection.
ARTICLE 5 – VEHICLES ALLOWED FOR DEMONSTRATIONS
Any two-wheeled motorized vehicle or sidecar (Dijon-Prenois Circuit) in good condition, conforming to its original specifications, and manufactured before December 31, 2000, is eligible, subject to the specific criteria of each category and the organizer's approval. The organizer retains sole discretion in the selection of vehicles and may refuse any machine exhibiting anachronisms, deemed dangerous, or not in keeping with the spirit of the event, without having to justify their decision. Machines manufactured after December 31, 2000, may be admitted if they possess heritage value and/or are exceptional due to their technology, history, or presentation. Two-wheeled vehicles registered between December 31, 1998, and December 31, 2000, may not represent more than 10% of the total number of registered motorcycles.
ARTICLE 6 – REGISTRATION FILE
All applications must be fully completed and accompanied by the required documents, including: photos of both sides of the motorcycle, a photocopy of the vehicle registration document for vehicles over 50cc (excluding racing motorcycles), the rider's driver's license valid under current French legislation for the registered vehicle, payment of the entry fee, and, for minors, authorization from their legal guardian. Incomplete or unsigned applications will not be considered. The organizer will notify applicants of the validation in due course. By signing these regulations, the participant commits to riding the registered motorcycle, holding a valid driver's license at the time of the event, and having insurance that complies with current legislation.
ARTICLE 6 – HEALTH
Participants declare that, to their knowledge, they do not suffer from any illness or disability that could compromise their safety or that of other participants.
ARTICLE 7 – VEHICLE INSPECTIONS
A general visual inspection covers the condition of the vehicle and any risks it may pose to others. Participants are responsible for checking, in particular, the effectiveness of the brakes and steering, the condition of the tires, the absence of oil leaks or the presence of a suitable recovery system in case of total-loss lubrication, the secure attachment of accessories (exhaust, kickstand, etc.), and the absence of any sharp, protruding, or dangerous points. The organizer may refuse access to the track, without refund, to any motorcycle whose condition or appearance is deemed incompatible with safety. Using a motorcycle different from the one declared on the registration form may result in immediate exclusion and prosecution in the event of an incident.
ARTICLE 8 – CATEGORIES
Motorcycles are grouped into categories defined by the organizer, taking into account factors such as age, power, and type. The program and specific information for the event are sent with the registration confirmation.
ARTICLE 9 – AUTHORIZED DRIVERS
All drivers, whether adults or minors, must hold a valid driver's license or permit required by French law for the vehicle registered. Any participant lending their motorcycle to a third party is subject to prosecution and immediate disqualification. Minors must provide authorization from their legal guardian and hold a BSR (road safety certificate) or AM license when required. It is forbidden to ride the track after consuming alcohol, drugs, or medication that could impair driving ability.
ARTICLE 10 – DRESS CODE
Riding a motorcycle on a track requires appropriate clothing and the wearing of a full-face helmet. Any additional requirements specific to each track or event must also be respected.
ARTICLE 11 – TRACK BEHAVIOUR
Any notion of competition or speed is strictly prohibited, and timing is forbidden. Riders must adapt their speed, take into account the circuit's challenges, respect other participants, braking distances, racing lines, and track personnel signals. The organizer may immediately exclude, without warning, any rider deemed dangerous for the entire duration of the event.
ARTICLE 12 – ACCESS TO THE TRACK
Motorcycles enter the track by category, according to the established schedule, at the organizer's call, and after mandatory passage through the pre-grid when one is required.

ARTICLE 15 – INSURANCE AND LIABILITY
The organizer's liability is limited to providing the circuit's facilities under the terms of the contract with their owners. The organizer has taken out civil liability insurance covering third parties and participants in the event of any breach of contract related to the organization, in accordance with Decree No. 2006-554 of May 16, 2006. For the track activity offered, insurance covers bodily injury (death, disability, medical expenses) sustained by participants during the event; the terms of the contract are available from the organizer. Off the track, the organizer cannot be held liable in the event of intentional or fraudulent misconduct by a driver or in the event of an incident between a participant and a third party unrelated to the event. Off the track, liability for the use of a motor vehicle towards third parties rests with the owners concerned. Each driver must verify the exact extent of their coverage with their insurer.
Regarding the Coupes Moto Légende on the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans, an FFM license or the demonstration PASS is mandatory for riders to take to the track.
