The Florida Crew has no rules but the motorcyclist Prime Directive is
"Don't Hit the Bike in Front of You."

HDRick told us one time that the hardest thing you will ever do is ride in a group of motorcycles.

Group riding is not for everyone. It requires a certain level of skill and self-discipline. It restricts an individual rider’s options as to speed, changes in route, and lane positioning. To attempt to ride in a group without having good basic riding skills and a good sense of what others in the group are likely to do -- and what they expect you to do -- is an invitation to an accident, one that may involve damage and injuries to more than one bike and one rider. It is also a matter of personality, in that group riding requires good communications, courtesy among riders and a willingness to look out for the safety of others while riding your own ride. Remember, No Rules so those who don’t wish to ride in a group but who wish to arrive at the same destination as the rest of us may just prefer to travel solo and meet up.

Ride your own ride at your skill level and remember the Prime Directive.


I'll try not to get teachy as I have in the past but I scare real easy when weird things happen in a group. It is just better if everybody is on the same page.

Thanks

 

Ok< I watched the whole thing. Can I lead now?

 

Not yet, We'll tell you when your ready. Just a little more experience.

 

Thank you for posting the link Jeff! I just finished watching it with my husband and it was a great refresher. I appreciate it!

 

Great message. Thank you for the link. Hopefully we can all take a little something for the vid.

 

Watched it all and think it is a very good video. Now, if I can just get some miles logged by myself I will join in on a group event!

 

Good vid Jeff....guess I won't be leading any more rides though...I can't remember half that shiznat...

 

Jeff - Did you have something happen recently on a group ride that got under yer skin?

 

I think I scared him last weekend...

 

Yep, Dave, it had to be you. I haven't ridden with anyone since last October, so I think my impact on anyone's riding should have expired by now.
