I was making leisurely miles in Northern California on my BMW RT when a fair-sized group of East Bay Dragons came up on me. I moved over to allow them to pass and was surprised to have two or three members wave me in to join them! I rode with them for several miles after joining them and felt the community of riders had reached new horizons for me. When my exit came up, I saluted all and received smiles and salutes in return and have remembered this little incident (about 25 minutes or so) with pleasure ever since and am sorry that circumstances didn't allow me to meet these fellow riders.
Awesome!
Been riding for more than 30 years.
Asking for "permission" to pass another rider/group, is about the DUMBEST shit that I have ever heard. 😂
😎
I've never even heard of this nonsense? If I want to pass I'm going to safely pass.
Facts.... If that lane is open and you're 30 deep on the right side, cya! Cool, you're all about the safety aspect and put that ride together for one of your fallen. First video that I've seen where it wasn't someone trying to be all gangsta with it. I ride solo, so I be damned if I know club rules. Hell never befriended a club rider. Nothing against them, just guess things happen for a reason.
Same here about that rule. If you want to show the courtesy, that's cool. If you don't, that's cool too. MCs don't own the road or the lanes.
Good video, my brother. I don't know that I've ever asked permission, but I don't pass until it is safe. As I pass I always give a short wave. I think all riders are my brothers, regardless of race, creed, or bike. Thisis the creedo I follow on every ride, for over 325K miles...Ride on.
Much respect to you!
I ride without regard to asking for permission. However, there is always an exception, like riding up to a large group and the Sargeant at ARms has got dangling 3 or 4' weighted balls hanging off his bike, I back the F*** off cause there are some real crazy groups ouot there that think THEY DO Own the Road and also they are tryna protect the groups riders from rival gangs running up on em. I'm a lone ranger mostly and ride a damn fast sport bike but common sense is uncommon these days and having a oz of it will save your bacon. Besides most Harley rider ignore any other bike out there that AINT a Harley. Well OK but that's FUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEDDDDDD UP.
@ous2451 I respect all, feel that we are all out there to have a good time, but I carry for that reason alone. Some people will submit to others, I don't. Also respect always goes a long ways, usually people have no issues with anyone if they are respectful.
This, plus a quick flash of the headlight to let them know I'm coming.
@@anonimous2451it sounds like you had discipline beat in you.
should I you're a fear mugger for everybody else thinking it's all tough romanticizing the bike gang veracity lol.
we'll get a third grade you to a razor scooter!
I just happened upon your channel. I am an old 1%er biker from the East Coast. What 99%er MC’s do not realize is that as a 1%er club we are constantly scanning our backs, sides, and front. Not only do we scan for motorcycles but cages (cars). The 1 %er lifestyle is full of other rivals that can pull up on us and cause problems. We are always weary of fast approaching motorcycles (esp since we cruise at 80-85(open highway). We scan for vans, trucks, etc. we scan for cages with multiple guys inside. Even scan the colors of the cages and bumper stickers etc. it could cost us our life. Secondly, when approaching a 1%er pack it is HUGE respect to know the road protocol as this video teaches. There are Saftey issues as mentioned but a the biggest is RESPECT. I have never, in 40+ yrs of MC seen anyone denied permission to pass when offering this respect. This is good educational stuff right here! Thanks
Agreed.
thank you! im just trying to help out!
Only ever been denied to pass a group once in my entire life been riding for about 20 years now and it was a memorial run (aprox 100+ bikes) here on the West Coast and I showed my respect and backed off about a hundred yards behind the pack and just kept cruising
Btw dig the name
What's a 1%er ?
@@sedrickmcmiller9367 1%er is a term for "outlaw motorcycle clubs" or MCs.. some president said ""99% of motorcyclist are law abiding citizens" so they took it and ran with it and made it a part of their everyday life...
That's the short version of someone who has never been a part of any kind of club and just enjoys being on the open road.. but if you're serious about knowing what the 1% patch is all about it's easy to Google, but you're not going to get a biased media version..
I like to signal that I’m about to pass by lifting the front wheel. 😂
Cool story
Legit reapect lol
Now that deserves respect
Lifetime rider here. Find this ridiculous. The issue is that groups of riders (usually on cruisers) act as rolling roadblocks (and they don't care). That's what's discourteous. The idea that I should have to get permission to pass someone that is already acting in a discourteous manner just isn't right. These groups feel they can impose their riding style on others - that's not OK.
Agreed
I pass and waive hello and never had a problem.
It seems to me that asking another man for permission to do something, anything, is antithetical to the spirit or motorcycle life.
Never have never will and bite my tongue for noone
I personally take the "higher road" and still am courteous to even the slow groups. Have you considered that they may be inexperienced and not realize what they are doing? I'm of the opinion to be polite and courteous to all riders on the road. Regardless of their actions, I'm responsible to only my own.
It's a matter of Respect, and that's huge with 1% mcs. Go on with your bad selves, don't come around the SF Bay area with that bs, you think your all that, can disrespect others, stupid people win stupid prizes
@@user-zg2hh9bo3wrespect is earned, boy!
No matter how crazy the world gets, courtesy and respect never really go out of style. Consider it a bonus that this is for both party's safety.
Totally agree!
BS
When you are on the Faster Lane and are indeed Faster is the only respect anyone need to pass anybody on the road, the roads are solely owned by the Tax payer s
I'm one of those people that think there shouldn't even be a turn signal law because that should just be a common courtesy thing. I use mine all the time not because of the law but, because I want others to know my intentions so they don't have to guess.
Courtesy and respect don't seem to come from these MCs towards other drivers. They show zero regard for laws and safety when they're taking over multiple lanes on the highway. I used to think riders were cool, now I find them obnoxious.
I've been riding for 25 years and I have never come across this or a big group of motorcyclist where I had to be concerned about this. Very Interesting and good to know.
Glad you found value in this video😊✌🏾
Hey Bro. I definitely feel you. And respect and peace to you’re falling brother . Peace to everyone one the chat and blessing Too all.
Thank you and thank you brother!
Absolutely! Mutual Respect, for them to ask and you to not hold them up.
Yep agree!
Safety and being Respectful always a good thing. Thank you for that Video MY MAN!
No problem! Thank you!
Another informative video my guy. Its always easier to get others to listen and understand when the "why" is explained. Good vid.
Thx bro!
I greatly appreciate you pointing this out to us/me. Your content, as usual, is not only entertaining, but informative. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! I'm just trying to help out ✌🏾
I've been riding for almost 25 years and I'm just now hearing more and more people in the community bring up this question. I've always acknowledged every brother and sister on two wheels that I encounter and the only time I wait to pass is if we are running the corners in the mountains and they're slower than me. I feel like if you're coming up on a large group ride that obvious, of course give way. Over all as long as we respect each other the community will continue to be a place of a passion for riding.
Well said!
He shouldn't be riding so close to someone he can't see the debris in front of them. This is one of the fundamental problems of riding in large groups.
Also, the first person in the group, the ride captain, should have pointed that out, and it should be pointed out all the way to the back so that no one has to swerve.
Thanks for the clarification. Respect means a lot
Np!
I’m just getting into riding and I just absolutely love the respect and the care that bikers have over car drivers.
Indeed.
This is true with any minority road user. Truckers show respect to one another. The same is true for bus drivers and farmers on tractors.
It's an acknowledgement that you're not a standard cager, and have acquired additional skills on the road.
@@bloodymarvelous4790being a minority makes people stick together, truly an amazing future of the human race
Respect and common sense. We(RuffRyders) ride deep especially to an event. We respect and give. Everyone trying to get home or too their destination safe and sound .
Exactly!
Well Said friend...well said
You know🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Ruffryders. Sounds like I belong. Last name is ruff and I ride 😆
I met a couple of “ Ruff Riders” in Fla. last year. They were behind myself and my wife and 3 friends,Obviously we are not wearing Vests or colors or rep any group . But these Brothers Pulled up on my Right side looked over and signaled that he wanted to go ahead. I nodded yes and he and his partner pulled in front and kept it moving. Maybe an hour later we stopped for fuel and food. Low and behold they guys that passed us were having lunch . They remembered and waved. We sent over a pitcher of beer. The Gentleman walked over and thanked us and told us he didn’t mean to be rude but he couldn’t take the beer. We drank the beer and offered soft drinks. Ruff Riders ARE gentlemen on the road. They are what I call a family. Very cool squad.
When I started riding, I had a good friend who was part of an MC give me the proper protocol just for this. I'm grateful that he took the time to educate me on the things of this nature.
Explained it perfectly !!! Respect & Safety !!!
This is a great video! This addresses some stigmas between bikers on the road (especially new riders). Just about everything revolves around safety and respect. Ride safe!!!
We all wana make it back home...we have limited protection on 2 wheels so safety is 🔑. Be respectful and give courtesy to your fellow riders. Thx for stopping by!
Just G-KUE, informational and done well. I always enjoy your videos. I see you closing in on 10k subs. That's only a milestone based on the potential this channel has. Much respect keep doing what you do sir!
Thank you big bro! Thank you for being here from the jump!
Thank you for making this video. A lot of riders now days don't acknowledge fellow riders these days. Hopefully they will see this and show more love and respect for other "Brother's and Sister's in the Wind"
Absolutely! I always do it’s a sign of mutual respect between riders 🤙🏼✌🏼
Brother, have never experienced that before out on the trail, but that was a great gesture by them, and equally as cool to respectfully acknowledge them back. That’s what our community should always look like. We all love riding, let’s enjoy it and each other.
Indeed
It’s about asking permission and allowing other to exert dominance aver you? That doesn’t sound like a community to me.
Dominance? Lol
As a solo rider, I can see asking permission if we are on a one lane road. But if there are multiple lanes, I'll gladly wave at you as I pass by.
Straight facts brother. Always be respectful and you’re good. Everyone’s been there when someone, bike or car, blows by you on the freeway. That shit is not cool.
At all!
Thank you for this,have aways wondered what to do and how to respond more like this would be appreciated
No problem my brother! Ride safe out there!
I see you’re taking full advantage of your educational skills. Thanks so much for putting your own special spin on How and Why. Of course you started today’s lesson with a historical Lesson, that made me want to keep watching until the end.
Thank you big brother ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Having respect and showing videos like this is really helpful for me as a new rider, most of these bikers are experienced and this video educated newbies like myself about looking out for these moments. I love the riding community and appreciate this video. Love from Brooklyn NY
Thank you sir much for tuning in! Glad you got value from it!
I sold mine along time ago but there is no road curatasy anymore in az I think everyone thinks it's their own personal drag strip. It's nots on the road Evan in cars its crazy I was never in a club or group for persanly reasons but Evan 4 ways stop.s noones know how to preced I think the younger sorry need to go to a good driving school lol
Don't buy into their BS, as long as you ride safe they have absolute nothing to say about it
Thank you for the video and the thoughts about courtesy, respect and of course safety too.
Thank you brother...stay safe!
I like seeing this. It shows people still have courtesy and respect.
Indeed man....indeed
I haven't ridden for about 20 years, and then I mostly rode solo. The only hand signal I ever saw was the hand down with a peace sign or to fingers down, to indicate "keep the rubber side down" or just "stay safe." However your post did remind me of an ancient post I got off the Internet back in the 80's or 90's. Presented here for your amusement:
The Best Thing About MotorCycles
The best thing about motorcycles is that they are a reasonable,
economical mode of transportation. When I first bought my cycle, I
tried to ride it as much as possible in order to save the money I'd
otherwise be spending on gas for my car. Well, actually, my cycle only
gets 40mpg, but the comparative maintenance costs would have been much
lower except, well, I got run over by a truck the second month I had it.
Dang thing just backed right over me in a parking lot. Not pretty,
at all. I mean, if he'd gotten me out on the highway where I would've
had room to run, I could see some sport in it. Instead, he lurked in
his parking spot til I rode by and then blam!, backed out and nailed my
butt to the ground. I derived some minor satisfaction by breaking some
of his glass with my hand and shoulder and scraping paint off of his
tailgate with my knee, but all in all, it was not a growth experience.
The hospital costs and repair bill weren't nearly as discouraging as the
fact that the motorcycle shop kept my machine for many, many months.
But I did get to make trips to the motorcycle shop where I met other
cyclists and began to acquire the cycle-riding mystique. I bought a
pack of cigarettes to roll up in the arm of my T-shirt and learned to
insert the syllable "fuk" at rhythmic places in my sentences.
That's the best thing about motorcycles, the instant comraderie you
develop with your fellow riders on the road. I remember the first time
an oncoming rider waved at me. It was so surprising, such a warm feeling
to be accepted by a stranger, merely because of my choice of conveyance.
It happened again, and again, over the course of my riding career
until one day, feeling outgoing and self confident, as a rider approached
me, *I* spread out the fingers of my left hand in the unmistakable sign
of cycle fellowship. As he ignored me and sped by, I yelled "I was just
reaching for the clutch, mutha fukka!".
That's the best thing about motorcycles, nobody can hear a thing
you're yelling while you're riding one. I mean, you can yell, curse,
sing, whatever, and the wind and engine noise carry it all away from
the ears of anyone but yourself. Personally, I like to make "vrrooom"
noises. I know, it's childish, but I think it's the child in people
that makes them want to ride. Whenever I pass a car full of kids, they
all stare in awe at my cycle. It's a daring vehicle, something their
parents warn them off of, like drugs and making early CD withdrawals.
So, there I was at a stop light. Beside me, a truck full of college males,
drinking and harassing the people in the vehicles around them. I
revved the motor slightly, using what I had learned about the motorcycle
mystique to project an air of toughness. Unfortunately, I had forgotten
to turn on the gas, the engine sputtered, and I found myself sitting on
a dead cycle, yelling "Vrroooom, vrroooooom" into the unexpected silence.
That's the best thing about motorcycles, people don't mess with you
no matter how you act. And with good reason, for many normal, everyday
riding tasks can be misinterpreted as signs of extreme courage or lunacy.
Many people are afraid to drive *cars* in Huntsville, let alone ride on
a motorcycle. My ride begins at the bottom of a steep hill which is my
apartment's parking lot. At the top of the hill is a blind turn onto
a two-lane road which was recently repaved so that the patrons of the
nearby drinking establishment can acheive higher speeds in their pickup
trucks and Trans Ams. This road leads down to the Parkway, a black snake
of death, where the ditches are littered with the vehicles that failed
the ordeals of the day before. Yes, a cycle rider in Huntsville has
a certain amount of respect, implicitly.
I guess you can't really grasp the great thing about motorcycles until
you've got one. I could make you a good deal...
thats how i salute riders .. 2 fingers down
More of this! Been daily commuting for just a few years on a big bore bike but I totally agree with everything you say. If anything rules, common sense and courtesy get you home safe.
Took out a few mirrors, brake-checked here and there but soon realized that was not going to solve anything.
Liked and subscribed. Understanding one another and learning to communicate is key.
Perfectly stated!
Great video on riding protocol! Thanks for putting this out.
Np bro!
Cool, learned something new today. Not that I have come upon too many large groups of bikes, and I'm usually solo. But some additional dynamics to be aware of out on the road.
I never really understood this as a new rider, but after some close calls, it makes sense. The point about safety is very true at the 2:18 mark on your video. There was some debris that a biker in your group had to quickly maneuver around. If he/she was aware of other faster riders passing by, the swerve could have caused a bigger issue.
Exactly
Appreciate you teaching us new riders the proper protocols for this new endeavor. The way most of the MC fellas roll, I am the one being passed, never passing. Thanks my bruh, another great video Mane.
Thx dubb..just giving perspective brother ✌🏾
I should clarify this, respect is earned not given out freely to anyone. If this was a military funeral I would NOT pass it…. But a bunch of guys on bikes ? Meh
@garywheeler2055 you are a man. I respect you until you do something to lose that respect. Just my opinion ride safe
Yeah I have a Yamaha Mt-10 so I’d be gone in literally three seconds and there’s nothing those poor tryhards could do
Protocol? there is a new protocol on the road ? :D what's next ? When you are on the Faster Lane and are indeed Faster, that is the only protocol to pass, that is there since the horse and buggy
Great video. I learned something that I didn't know. Thanks for sharing
No problem bro!
Safety and respect. I never thought about asking. I just wave and keep going
Respect as always...
Thanks for sharing the protocols.
Indeed
Hell no, no one owns the road and we all pay taxes. If they don't like it they can try and catch me. Im riding doing my own thing and have no idea who they are. just like a car I signal and stay straight in my lane I wave or nod at bikers but that is as far as it goes. I don't drive places to meet people and play stupid games. Respect is for people I care about not random strangers. They get what I expect, what drivers sharing the road deserve and not more
gotcha
@@JustGKue Not on a hog you dont
@@plap. I respect all people and opinions regardless if I “care about them” or not….hence….I gotcha aka I understand. Ride safe 💪🏾✌🏾
@@JustGKue 👍✌️
shitty way to live man
Thanks for sharing this. I've been riding for approximately 60 years and was never aware of this etiquette. I have heard tales of certain biker groups being angered that another bike passed their group, but I didn't understand the reasons for this.
Glad it was helpful!
It's all about respect, safety and courtesy. Thanks for sharing and ride safe. 👍✌️👊
Agreed!
Very cool, glad you posted ! Keeping it tight and safe on the open road very important. Excellent video!
Indeed and thank you for watching!
It's all about respect my brother! Always give that courtesy check.
Exactly
You raise some wonderful points that I hadn't even considered like a huge group and maybe they will be exiting soon. Thanks for that!
No problem! Ride safe
But if they "maybe will be exiting soon" shouldn't they NOT be in the hammer lane?
If they didn’t ride in the left lane/passing lane this wouldn’t really be a problem
Your videos are always informative.
Just trying to help! Thank you for watching!
Great video brother keep it coming 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥
Thx bro!
Last group I passed riding in a single lane was at 200kph and I didn’t ask permission … 😅
Ride safe
I am glad everyone knew you were coming up on them. It is much safer to blind side other riders isn't it...
Most Definitely! It’s all about respect & most importantly, safety. I was always taught that the “permission” procedure was reserved for passing OMCs.. but since becoming the Road Captain of my chapter, I get the yes or no from all MCs. You never know what moves they need to make soon or what the conditions are up ahead! Stay Safe.. Stay Dangerous!!
- Trouble2Times✌🏽
Yep!
I always acknowledge and give respect to all my fellow riders when passing or being passed.
Good video. Gets the point across with good education in a short format.
Thank you!
I think it's more about the respect and safety rather than a permission to pass. Because at the end of the day getting home safe is rule number one. Stay safe...
100% agree
You should have 200k subscribers right now fam. Your videos too well put together 🔥🔥🔥
One day bro...one day. Hopefully ✌🏾😊
Thanks for the very informative vlog. Ya'll be safe out there.🏍🖤❤💯
Our pleasure!
Respect always... Just show you care even more n a cage.
Thanks G I have heard that riding through a group of MC'S is disrespectful and could cause some problems. I always want to be respectful at all times✌🏽✌🏽
Thx brother! Just a bit of courtesy
These wankers don't deserve any respect, they don't respect you!
I’m curious. This is an honest question. No pun intended. Do Highway Patrol motorcyclist have to ask for permission to pass motorcycle groups by? If not, why should others have to? Have anyone “seriously” told the highway patrol “no?” If so, what was the outcome, if any?
Hwy patrol does what they wish...Can't really say anything about them
I'll throw in my 2 cents on this one. HP know enough about riding that they don't rush up on a group of riders aggressively. They know that that they are going to pass and they approach respectfully, I mean unless they're looking for you specifically.
Who mentioned aggressively? All I was asking is who is to say that we can’t pass the MC on the fwy. I’m a tax payer who’s been authorize by the DMV (to ride) my motorcycle in accordance with the laws that have been established. Personally, I will pass anybody as long as I’m being respectful and not in an aggressive manner as you’ve mentioned. MC don’t make the laws for the roads, lawmakers do..
I ride by myself but sometimes I see a group of bikers I usually stay away. But now that I know rule. I thank you 🙏. Safety is important to me so we may all enjoy 😊 our ride ❤
Very informative thanks for the video. 👍🏽
Np! Thanks for watching. Hope you're considering subscribing
Being polite is never wrong, Its respect & thats really all we want♥️🧡💛💚💜💙
Indeed!
All about respect and safety.
This made me smile.
Indeed
Thanks for teaching there’s a bike riding etiquette. My late husband rode so I automatically move over slightly for bikes to safely pass and I also slow down and let 18 wheelers over.
Ty!
This video was random as hell but even more informative then I could have imagined. I'm a Ryker rider and never considered this but now I know about this unwritten courtesy. I always do two or three wheels down salute when I see fellow riders but this is nice to know. Thanks for posting
No problem thank you for watching!
I like the mind state you are in and on the video I could see the mutual respect between the 2 biker groups ✊
Indeed! Respect and courtesy goes a long way!
That's really cool and awesome. Respect others at all times. Keep it up and more vidz to come my friend
Thank you!
Very cool. A PSA and learning more about bikers.
I truly thank you for watching!
If it's a big group, we hang back if they are in the fast lane. If it's just Kake and me... and the group is in the number two lane, we have never asked for permission to pass because maybe they are riding at a slower pace for a reason. However, we still acknowledge them. If we are riding with a group, and we approach another group, (on their right) then we ask for permission to pass. As you said, it's common courtesy and we thank them.
Same here! Thanks for watching brother ✌🏾
Ol school protocol and most newbies will never understand.
Respect goes a long ways ✌️
Indeed bro
But it's also a 2 way street , ....are MC's gonna ask if they can hold everyone up ? Or if they can pass you ?
Yes
I ride a 110cc bike and was surprised at how bikers nod and wave. I thought I’d be shunned and they’d laugh at my ”scooter”, but actually it’s the opposite. It’s my first time on 2 wheels and I’m still very new. I am really liking the bike community much more than the car community.
😊
It is for respect, safety, and common courtesy. Thank you mentor!
Thank u!
It’s just about safety and respect, something all of us need to practice more ✊
Indeed!
Agreed!
I bought my first bike in 1973, a wave, a nod and a hand shake goes a long way in showing respect to other riders. I never had any issues from any other riders.
Well said!
Interesting video. In my 32 years of riding, I have never asked permission to pass another group of riders. Nor have I ever had another group of riders ask for my permission. One time I was on the interstate passing a group and some of them came up onto a car and I got over into the far-left track and pointed for them to come over onto the right track, so they didn't have to slow down for the car as I was passing them and then the car. But that's it.
Some of the handlebars on the bikes in the video are pretty awesome. 👍
Thank you!
Just a sign of respect nothing else great video bro ✊🏿💯
Totally agree and thx!
HD's biggest enemy...the tools who ride their bikes
😮💨
So an iconic American bike, loved the world over is the ENEMY? interesting... wonder what else you hate on, I suggest you move to Tokyo, oh yea I forgot they have Harleys there too! Damn your life must suck to surrounded by the ENEMY
@@user-zg2hh9bo3w Think I'm qualified to speak out...I'm related to the Davidsons...severe attitude problem with their customers, that doesn't exist with riders of other brands!
This education needs to get passed on to everyone. Now some times, you might run into a crew that don’t want you to pass them. Now for any reason you feel you need to pass them and it’s safe…what do you do? This is why I will always keep a fast bike cause you might have to scoot on pass them. I’ve heard of situations but never experienced them.
Pass respectfully
Unless you are flipping them off or something how do you pass unrespectfully? Passing someone should be just that, passing someone. Nothing more nothing less.
Good information, thanks
Hey bro from L.A. , My club hangs with your L.A. chapter. This is good info for those that don’t know. Because if they roll up on the wrong club it could be bad.
One TH-camr who didn't know about protocols almost got kicked off his bike. Black Dragon spoken on that incident especially coming up on a 1%er club. He said hang back and the tail gunner will ask what your intentions are ? And you ask if you can pass, he will tell you hold and ride up front and then drop back to you and he will either give you the ok or no. If it is ok then you proceed and roll by and give them a nod and go on about your business.
I saw that...dangerous game he was playing
@@JustGKue Yes sir. He was doing what most no mc riders do ! Like riding their bike without a care in the world and riding up can go all bad and the cold part is you don't even know what you just got yourself into. Being a rider and having basic sense and Respect can keep you out of trouble. Great content Kue
@@JustGKue I meant to say a non MC rider riding up fast
Stupid, grown adults asking for permission to pass 😆
I'm a sportbiker who worked on Harleys for years, I ride alone and always show respect when passing a club or group of riders.
indeed!
Respect each other! Brother!
Indeed
While doing the poker run in the Florida keys I had mixed experiences. Some groups would show etiquette while others just zoomed by recklessly. I guess it depends on your character.
Do you believe you should ask for permission to pass? lemme know below.
Check out my last ride to Daytona Bike week here
th-cam.com/video/gJ0hS9AT_is/w-d-xo.html
It's smart to do , the group might be about to change lanes into the lane that you're in. The guy in the back could let the others know to wait , or let me know to wait. It's common sense.
Your content will save someone's life this is real talk don't fuck around and find out the hard way 👍🏿
🎯🎯🎯
Yes nothing but respect and love my brother.
Much love and respect to you brother!
Good video, with good info. Carry on Brother!
Thank you!
Appreciate that knowledge bro 👍🏽🫡 honestly the only thing I knew about was the helmet tap to let others know about 12.
No doubt! Ride safe bro
Also about respect. Thanks for video..
You said it best. When I'm on 2's, if I'm coming pass a group I will normally ask. Safety is the key & the main thing I have see is that group making an exit nearby. Now funeral runs or big long groups I never pass...just the Respect for me. Now, the OMC's you know how I will roll if I'm doing this for 99's...but heck, it's all RESPECT - YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE!
Indeed!
Absolutely correct. Good info!
Glad it was helpful!
great advice - great tone - just a lil bit of courtesy goes a long way - most won't care but there are groups that will jam you up for what they perceive as disrespect - always show love and respect for our 2 wheel brothers and sisters - be safe ... many miles and smiles to ya
Much respect! Thanks for the comment and be safe!
That's what's up, RESPECTING your fella bikers ✌️
Much love big brother! ✌🏾
Absolutely, acknowledge, , regard, respect fellow riders, solo or clubs.
Indeed!
Several years ago, I was on the road in Arizona riding solo, number 1 lane when a biker rolled up on the #2 lane and pointed forward. I looked over, nodded my head and off he went. That was the first time anyone had ever done that to me and I was taken aback. I didn't notice what colors he had on and I'm sure he couldn't see all of my Firefighter colors, but it felt nice. A few years later I was riding back home, in the carpool lane when I came up to a 1%, 2 lanes away from me. I slowed down, he looked at me and I pointed forward and he nodded for me to go. So, as you stated, respect goes a long way. By the way, a couple of rice rockets had passed me before I came up to the 1% and they didn't look over or slow down. Ride safe and long.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Respect is key
Keep up the great work !!!
Preciate you!
😮 ask permission? No way, group doesn't own the road. Everyone has the right to ride free. Free of this BS.
I agree.
A buddy and I passed a group at 120 on our ninjas once in Northern California. We stopped up the road and they waved at us when they passed by. Back when people were cool.
i have never experienced this but I have passed by groups , small and big and I always give a pleasant hand gesture to the leader of the group.
A gesture of loving fellowship for my fellow biker but not really asking permission just due to principles of the public roads for any man or woman to travel freely without deprivation of their rights.
Excellent response!
Informational video 👍🏻 I’ve only been riding for a few years, but to ask permission to pass seems a bit toxic, some probably stems from illegal activities or “rivals”. Respect is earned not willy nilly given. I understand the safety aspect since we know not what’s up the road sometimes, or if someone needs to abruptly maneuver while we pass. But nonetheless, good video, and I learned something(which is most important).
