Ride Safety When Riding With Friends

You and some friends bought all motorcycles, and now you are traveling together. Pedro was super cool that Suzuki Boulevard M109, Joe is in hot Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, Bob has his Yamaha Star Raider, he loves, and you're on your Yamaha FJR1300 very sweet. Wild Hogs and Easy Rider has nothing on you, you are the king of the road!

Unless you get stupid and end up running into each other and generally create chaos in a way you did not intend. You laugh? If you do not put them all in sync is exactly what can happen.

Look at it this way. You do not worry about a collision with a vehicle that is nowhere near you, are those that are close to a potential hazard. Well, when traveling on the road in a group that vehicles are closest to you? His friends more often.


Staggered Formation

The first thing you're going to do is agree to run staggered formation. This means that you are who is riding in the front of the left lane, following a safe distance behind the bike and driving on the right side of the lane, and the third part of the wheel to the left again. staggered formation to get the best visibility and to build a safe distance increases. When you pull up the brake pressure of the light side by side in two, parallel, and then off to a impressive return.

Alerts

Unless you have a helmet to helmet communicators, you will need to agree on certain signals. One of the most fundamental is to keep your hand, palm down and move in a downward motion, saying "slow down". If there is an object in the road signal is launched with any foot is on the side of the object is running. Although the manager is usually the one to open these signals, all can, and after the riders were to repeat them to transmit information back to the rest of the group.

And then there is a signal that you are safe to use again and again, when you reach out and clasp and unclasp your fist. This indicates to the user, either in front or behind you, he left his lights on.

There are many other signals that can be easily found by searching on the Internet. Make sure all riding enthusiasts are familiar with them and use them.

Leave space

Sometimes when you are out of your bike you the fastest way down the road, and in these cases the main thing is to get the passage of other vehicles. However, a lot of driving fun is just to relax and enjoy the ride. If you have a good sized group of bikes can be very difficult for the rider who wants to go faster around you all at once. Each group is aware of the need to allow the driver to get around safely, or his patience may wear out and he can not begin to do things that are not safe just to get more of "these bikes idiots." And we all know that the argument between car and motorcycle, the car will always win. Always.

It was in the last rider in the group's attention when a car approached from behind and want to spend, and he falls back slightly to make room for the slide that had front and back right on track if necessary. Other runners to the line must be aware of your mirrors and then to take similar measures to allow the car to go through the group if necessary.

Dangerous riders

One of the greatest dangers on the road, unfortunately, may be one of your companions. Some people refuse to adhere to safety procedures, and may constitute a danger to everyone around them. If you talk to them does not work, you may have separated from the group to its own security. Each pilot must make a decision for you. Just make sure that everyone knows where you are going and tell them that you can go ahead with them. Then go ride your ride.
