A. Group Riding Guidelines (click title)
This information is provided by Dave "SilverBack" Slone, and is his compilation of group riding guidelines that he has found across the riding community.
B. Protocol / Guidelines for "Waving" (Courtesy of "Virginia Wind)
Rider in or approaching an intersection........Don't wave. A new rider may try to wave back.
Rider in heavy traffic.........Even if traffic is light in your direction, don't wave. Again, and new rider may try to wave back.
You are in heavy traffic.......Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT crane your neck to see over the Jersey wall.
What's going on in the east bound side is not your concern. Survival takes precedence over brotherhood-of-bikers protocol.
Kid on a moped.........Wave. It will make you both feel good.
Both you and another rider are stopped at an intersection.........You don't have to shift into neutral just to wave. A knowing nod is more appropriate.
Mountain roads.........Keep your hands on the controls.
Rider on a different brand bike. ......Don't be a jerk. Wave. A bike is a bike.
Multiple riders in formation........Wave to the leader.
You're in formation........Let the leader wave. Your job is to maintain your spacing.
Rider overtaking you.........Wave just before you're passed.
Overtaking a rider.......Wave as you go by.
Beautiful day, wide country road, light
traffic.......Wave at everyone. If you're not enjoying the day sell your bike.
Rain........Wave. If rain makes you miserable, take your car instead.
Hottie on the sidewalk........Use caution if you have a backseater. On second thought, go ahead. Seeing your head bob up and down from the blows to your helmet will be quite entertaining.
Someone in a car waves to you........Wave back.
Doesn't matter if they ride or not, they are a friendly.
Kids.......ALWAYS wave.
Motorcycle police.......Wave if you want, but they don't usually wave back.
Approaching, or departing from, a motorcycle event.......Within one mile of the event, the 'brotherhood of bikers' requirement to wave is lifted, so give your arm a break.
You waved, but I didn't wave back........Don't take it personally. I was lighting a cigar.
