Group Riding Tips
It's spring time again, and that means poker runs, road trips, and club outings. Here are some handy tips courtesy of the AMA on playing it safe while you're out riding with your buddies.
Pay special attention to the hand signals link. Nothing is more confusing that riding in a group and not knowing if the lead rider is signaling for a lane change or just pointing to the hot chick in the car next to him.
NOTE: Hand signals vary slightly from group to group. Make sure you know what your group's hand signals are so that you don't end up in a "Saving Silverman" moment at 75mph.
