I know allot of us like to get a group together to ride with once in a while, and had notice that some do not now the basics of group ridding as I notice a few weeks ago when I took part on an organized charity ride. As we rode thru back roads where there were tight turns, some of the riders next to me rode to close to me even on tight turns, one guy even passed me in the inside of a soft right shoulder. Others got really close behind me, and noticed the accordion effect. There were passing going on all the way to our destination. So I thought it would help to post this link which will take you to the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Group Ridding tips and Hand signals. As I went thru it I also learn new things, so I know every body here can benefit from it, no matter how long you've been riding.
