Sharing the group trip is much more fun\u00a0and is something that characterizes our group in a special way. But we cannot pass that this activity\u00a0is also more dangerous than when we shot alone.\u00a0For that, we have to talk first about some\u00a0previous considerations\u00a0when we ride a motorcycle\u00a0in a group\u00a0: Check the planned route:\u00a0Before embarking on the route, it is advisable to inform you about the route, if they are mountain passes, tracks with very degraded soil or, on the contrary, you will travel many kilometers of highway &#8230; Check the weather forecast and adapt your clothes. Full tank and charged battery:\u00a0It is no longer just a matter of not bothering colleagues stopping when it is their turn to refuel.\u00a0If for any reason we get lost (in groups or alone), we have to make sure we don&#8217;t run out of gas in an area we don&#8217;t know.\u00a0Therefore, it is also important to leave home with the mobile phone battery fully charged.\u00a0You never know how long you can be out. Suitable group:\u00a0Whether by displacement, types of routes or types of motorcycles, you must take into account who you ride on a motorcycle.\u00a0If you think it is not the right group, find another group of people that is more similar to your wishes. The road is not a circuit:\u00a0It seems obvious, but the fact of going in a group does not mean that we are in a race.\u00a0You don&#8217;t have to prove anything and it&#8217;s just about sharing the passion to ride a motorcycle and its feelings. Once we have decided to go out with our motorcycle in a group, it is positive to keep in mind the following\u00a0tips\u00a0: Leader:\u00a0Also known as a road leader, he is the biker who guides the group, the person we have to follow, both in the route and in the speed.\u00a0He is usually an experienced pilot who knows how to adapt to the circumstances of the tour.\u00a0Additionally, a motorcyclist with some experience is also chosen to close the group in case any unforeseen event occurs and lags behind. City:\u00a0Maintain safety distances and do not lose your temper when the group is broken by a red light or other urban traffic incidents. Zigzag circulation:\u00a0When you go in a group, its members should circulate slightly in a zigzag in the same lane, that is, one on the right, one on the left and so on.\u00a0In this way, we achieve greater visibility ahead of the motorist that precedes us and, in addition, we will have more space to perform an emergency braking or react to any unforeseen event. Overtaking:\u00a0When the group goes on the road, you have to advance only at the points where it is allowed.\u00a0Also, as a general rule, do not advance your groupmates.\u00a0If you had to do it for some reason, you have to go ahead in the allowed places and making sure that the partners know your intentions (gust of lights, horn). Communication:\u00a0Group members must have a nonverbal communication code that we all know.\u00a0In this way, communication between us will be more fluid and secure. Thanks for reading our blog!
