Suggested General Group Riding Formations |
| 1: | STAGGERED FORMATION. The leader rides just left (or right in the UK) of the centre lane markings. The next rider takes position right of the leader and 1 second behind. All other riders alternate down the riding column with the same distance between each machine. Keep a safe distance between machines but remain alert for slower riders so that contact is not lost with the machine behind. |
| 2: | Once riding in this formation NEVER break IN or OUT of the formation, except in an emergency. In that (and every) case, the rider should clearly signal their intentions to the other surrounding riders. If a rider wants to take a new position in the group, then they should wait until the next stop. |
| 3: | Every rider MUST obey ALL traffic laws. Each rider is fully responsible for his behaviour on the road, independent of tour guides. |
| 4: | Even on a controlled ride, a rider should not assume that he has priority. In doubt, show caution. It is better to hold up other riders than to kill yourself or others. Riders on the outside of the formation should watch their outside mirrors for others overtaking. Here riders should indicate, and move a little inside to give the overtaking vehicle more space. They then return to their position. |
| 5: |
Always start the run with full fuel tanks. Running out of fuel on a tour and
pulling into a garage causes delays for the whole group. |
