Rules and Guidelines
Revised 10/16/02
3:35 PM
These rules and guidelines have been designed to help our club members have save and fun rides…
While the road conditions have been considered as best as we could, we cannot be expected to include all things that could possible happen…
These rules and guidelines are not meant to be the end-all and we do not intend you to follow them when they come into conflict with the road conditions you may actually encounter…
Ultimately, it remains the responsibility of the rider to maintain his/her own safety while riding.
Therefore if ever a rule or guideline comes into conflict with the safety of a rider or his co-rider or other riders in the group or other vehicles or pedestrians, the choice remains with the rider as to what to do to maintain safe conditions…

General Rules and Guidelines
Safe Actions Before Each Ride
Ø Both driver and passenger should wear protective clothing such as: Boots, Gloves, Helmet, Safety glasses or Goggles, Tuff genes or leathers, etc.
Ø We prefer to ride defensively rather than aggressively
Ø Always follow posted speed limit signs and all highway laws
Ø Never put yourself or anyone else in a position that could cause an accident
Ø Ride in a staggered formation with approximately 1 second between your bike and the bike directly in front of you in the same relationship of the stagger
Ø Maintain your bike so that it is safe to ride.
Ø Before each ride you should check:
o All Fluid levels for
§ Engine oil – add oil as needed
§ Break and clutch oil – add oil as needed
§ Battery fluid – add water as needed
§ Engine coolant (before starting engine)
o Tire pressure – adjust as needed
§ GL1500 - front 40 – rear 40
o Tire wear – replace as needed
o Break lever, break peddle and clutch lever throw – adjust as needed
o Rear shock pressure (GL1500) – adjust as needed
o General parts review to ensure they are securely attached and all nuts, bolts and screws are tight
Specific Rules and Guidelines
Acloholic Beverages
Ø If you must drink an alcoholic drink, please do so after the days riding is over. Drinking and riding with the California Fours is not acceptable / is not recommended / frowned upon / _________________ / _________________.
Radio Chatter
Ø Most of the time simple chatter is acceptable. Having normal conversations, typical ridicule, friendly chitchat and pointing out interesting things to other ride members are part and parcel of the Goldwing group ride experience. There are however times when the chatter should be reduced and sometimes eliminated altogether.
Ø Reduced Chatter
o During heavy Traffic
o When entering or leaving the road
o Just prior to a scheduled turnoff
Ø Eliminate Chatter
o During a Lane Change
o During an emergency (only those involved in the emergency and the Ride Leader or Ride Captain should be talking)
Ride
Meeting
Ø There will be a Ride Meeting prior to EVERY ride
Ø It is MANDATORY that all Rider’s attend the Ride Meeting. It is suggested that Co-Riders attend the Ride Meeting.
Ø Assignment of Duties
o The Ride Captain, Assistant Ride Captain and Lead Rider duties will be assigned to club members
o These duties will remain the same unless a designated change takes place at which time all in the Ride Group will be notified.
Ø Large Ride Group
o If there are a large number of bikes, the Ride Captain has the option to split the Ride Group into several smaller Ride Groups.
Ø Leaving Mid-Ride
o
If
you plan to leave the Ride Group for a while or if you do not plan to
complete the ride with the Ride Group,
please tell the assigned leaders during the Ride Meeting
Suggestions For Topics To Be Covered During The Ride Meeting
Ø Picture taking stops or individual bikes taking side trips.
Ø
Waterproof
your boots.
Ø Warm and cold weather gear, rain gear, and layered clothing.
Ø Laundry.
Ø When catching up with the group after you have made a special stop to take a picture etc., merge into the group just ahead of the two Ride Captain and Assistant Ride Captain bikes (third position from the back.). You can move to your preferred position when the group starts from the next regular stop.
Ø Heavy meals lead to drowsiness, especially on warm days. Heavy, fatty foods are the worst offenders. A light breakfast and lunch will help reduce the sleepy feeling. Then pig out at dinner.
Ø Comfort items like a water spray bottle for cooling off when on a worm or hot ride segment.
Ø It wouldn't be a bad idea to carry a few granola bars, power bars or jerky in a saddle bag.
Ø Drink plenty of water. Warm or hot days and the wind will really suck the moisture out of you. Coffee, tea and many carbonated drinks that contain caffeine act as diuretics and reduce the body's moisture levels. If you get thirsty or aren't making restroom calls, you are already low on liquids. It would be a good idea to carry water that you can drink while riding and empty it between stops. If you do get dehydrated, a sports drink like Gatorade will help re-hydrate you.
Ø Carry a spare ignition key on your person and another in your luggage.
Ø Make sure the Ride Captain and Lead Rider have your cell phone number and the emergency phone number you use in case you become separated.
How
Courtesy Helps With Ride Safety
Ø If we become caught in a heavy rain, turn on your hazard flashers. This will make you more visible to all traffic and easier for the bike behind you to follow.
Ø Let autos cross through our lane. This will help relations between the auto drivers and the bike riders.
Ø
When
passing slower traffic on the open
highway, do not change lanes to pass until you have caught up with the vehicle
being passed. This will allow us to pass a slow vehicle and not unnecessarily
impede the flow of traffic in the lane used for passing. Bikes in the rear
of the group are not to pull into the passing lane and slow down to let other
bikes pull in front of them. There will be plenty of miles to get together
after passing.
Ø
When
the Lead Rider makes a lane change in heavy traffic, all bikes should
make the same lane change by interlacing with the traffic in the new lane.
Unless there is an obviously slow vehicle in the new lane, do not try to
squeeze in front of the same car that the Lead Rider did. In most cases, the cars will change lanes
and we can join up safely.
Ø On long rides, watch the formation. From past rides, we have noticed that the formation starts to become straggled out if riders get sleepy. If you get sleepy or see the formation start to break up, let the Ride Captain know by radio and we will stop for a short break. We would rather be safe and arrive a little late rather than not at all.
Ø
With
the possible exception of a Lead Rider, all Side Hacks or Trikes
will ride just in front of the Ride Captain and any bike pulling a trailer will
ride just in front of the Side Hacks and Trikes.
Ø
At
gas stops, if you do not want to stop at the same station that the leader
chooses, you may gas up at the station of your choice. After you have finished,
rejoin the group at the station where the leader pulled in.
Ø
Gas
Stops - When one bike Fills Up, All bikes Fill Up.
Ø
Don't
pull so close in front of trucks that they have to brake. Truckers can't see
what is close to the front of their trucks. Besides, if something happens and
you have to put on the brakes, the truck may not be able to stop before it runs
you over.
Riding
On Freeways
Ø Ride in a staggered formation. The Ride Captain and Referee will then be in direct view of each other.
Ø Keep a safe distance apart. We like to keep 1 second between each bike.
Ø
Try to keep your position in the stagger as consistent
as possible because when you swap positions, all others in the group must then
change their position to maintain the staggered formation.
Emergency On Freeway
Ø The Ride Captain will stop with the bike in trouble and will contact the Ride Leader as to the problem.
Ø The Ride Leader will lead the group off the freeway at the first available off ramp.
Ø
If
it is safe to do so, the Assistant Referee will then wait at the off-ramp to
indicate the location of the rest of the group. ???
Riding
On Two-Lane Or City Streets
Ø Ride in single file.
Ø
Pass
when you can do so safely.
Ø Don't worry about getting left behind, as the Ride Group will not be running away from you.
Ø When going through a stop sign or signal, bunch up so that we can get as many bikes as possible through at one time. However, do so only if it is safe. Watch your rear-view mirror.
Ø If a car or other vehicle is in a hurry to pass, pull over as far to the right as is safe and let them go by.
Emergency
On Two-Lane or City Streets
Ø Ride Captain will stop with the bike in trouble. The rest of the group will stop as soon as they can safely pull off the road.
Ø
The Assistant Ride Captain will temporarily assume the
Ride Captains duties.
Ø The Ride Leader will stop the group at the nearest safe spot.
Changing
Lanes
Ø When changing lanes, the Ride Leader or the Ride Captain discuss changing lanes
Ø The Ride leader will tell the Ride Captain which lane he wants.
Ø The Ride Captain will then change lanes when it is clear and safe for the entire group.
Ø The rest of the group will then change lanes in front of the Ride Captain.
Ø
Special circumstances may dictate a change in this
procedure by the Road Captain or the Ride Leader.
THINK BEFORE YOU
ACT!
IT COULD SAVE YOUR
LIFE!

Ø
Ride
Group Passes Through A Traffic Signal Where Some Riders May Not Make The Light
Ø Ride Captain:
Ø Ride Captain is to notify the Lead Rider that some riders have not made the light
Ø The last rider that makes the light becomes the interim Ride Captain for the front ride group and the first rider in the last group becomes the interim Lead Rider for the group stopped by the light.
Ø
Upon rejoining the group the interim lead and captain
revert to simple ride members
Positioning
Yourself Within The Ride Group When Pulling Up To A Red Light Or Stop Sign
Ø
Each staggered member is to pull along side the
staggered member in front of them. When stopped this will end with the two
bikes side by side. When leaving the
light or stop sign, both members are to leave at about the same time leaving a
very short time for the lead bike of
the two to pull away from the trailing bike of the two. This delay is used to reestablish the
stagger for the entire Ride Group.

RIDING GUIDE LINES
1. The Ride Captain will lead the group and the
drag bike(s) will bring up the rear.
2. It will be the Ride Captain's responsibility that no one gets separated or lost so that all participants of a ride arrive at the destination.
3. The Ride Captain will not start to pull out until
the drag bike informs hinder that all of the riders are ready.
4. The Ride Captain will be in complete charge of the
group.
5. For those who have citizen band radios, channel 22 will be our standard channel.
6. All bikes will, unless they are experiencing electrical problems, ride with head light(s) on at all times.
7. When getting on the freeway, the leader will hold the speed down to 50 miles per hour or less. He will also remain in the first or second lane from the right until informed by the drag bike rider that all bikes have caught up with the group. There will be exceptions to this such as when
Ø the group wants to make the Car Pool Lane
Ø during light traffic with a small group
8. The leader will not exceed the speed limit. If you have to catch up, you will not have to ride 80 miles per hour to rejoin the group.
9. Ride staggered at all times except on two lane roads where we will ride single file. If there is an empty space in the staggered formation, move up or over and fill in the gap. We are all proud of our bikes and we should ride them in a manner that displays that pride and demonstrates our riding ability.
10. If you plan to pull out of the group early, let the Ride Captain know.
11. If a bike has a problem and has to stop, the only bike that is to stop with him is the drag bike. The assistant drag bike rider will inform the leader that there is a problem and the leader will stop the group at the first safe place.
12. If you must drink an alcoholic drink, please do so after the days ride is complete. Drinking and riding with the Association is not safe.
13. Let autos cross through our lane. This will help relations between the auto drivers and the bike riders.
14. When passing on the open highway, do not change lanes to pass until you have caught up with the vehicle being passed. This will allow us to pass a slow vehicle and not unnecessarily impede the flow of traffic in the lane used for passing. Bikes in the rear of the group are not to pull into the passing lane and slow down to let other bikes pull in front of them. There will be plenty of miles to get together after passing.
15. When the leader makes a lane change in heavy traffic,
all bikes should make the same lane change by interlacing with the traffic in
the new lane. Unless there is an obviously slow vehicle in the new lane, do not
try to squeeze in front of the same car that the leader did. In most cases, the cars will change lanes
and we can join up safely.
16. On long rides, watch the formation. From past rides,
we have noticed that the formation starts to become straggled out if riders get
sleepy. If you get sleepy or see the formation start to break up, let the
leader know by radio or let the drag bike rider know and we will stop for a
short break. We would rather be safe and arrive a little late rather than not
at all.
17. With the possible exception of a lead bike, all side
hacks will ride just in front of the drag bikes and any bike pulling a trailer
will ride just in front of the side hacks.
18. If we become caught in a heavy rain, turn on your hazard flashers. This will make you more visible to all traffic and easier for the bike behind you to follow.
19. When we arrive at a stop, excluding the last stop of the day at the motel, we will all park in the same location if parking allows. This will make it easier for the Ride Captain to keep track of the group.
20. At gas stops, if you do not want to stop at the same
station that the leader chooses, you may gas up at the station of your choice.
After you have finished, rejoin the group at the station where the leader
pulled in.
21. At gas stops that are combined with other stops, we
will gas up last.
A
FEW GUIDELINES FOR LEADERS
1. Never make a right turn on a red light.
2. When a vehicle is in our formation and seems to want
to stay there, you can usually get them to move out of the formation if you
slow downjust a little.
3. In heavy traffic, don't make any more lane changes
than necessary.
MISCELLANEOUS
SUBJECTS TO DISCUSS
1. Picture taking stops or individual bikes taking side
trips.
2. Waterproof your boots.
3. Warm and cold weather gear, rain gear, and layered
clothing.
4. Laundry.
5. We will be taking a group picture in Durango, Colorado
by the train.
6. When catching up with the group after you have made a special
stop to take a picture etc., merge into the group just ahead of the two chase
bikes (third position from the back.). You can move to your preferred position
when the group starts from the next regular stop.
7. A water spray bottle for cooling off on the last part
of the ride, (it may or may not be hot)
We will be riding a variety of roads. Regardless of what the group is doing, do
not ride beyond your limits. This is not a white knuckle event and you should feel
comfortable at all times.
8. Heavy meals lead to drowsiness, especially on warm
days. Heavy, fatty foods are the worst offenders. A light breakfast and lunch
will help reduce the sleepy feeling. Then pig out at dinner.
9. It wouldn't be a bad idea to carry a few granola bars,
power bars or jerky in a saddle bag.
10. Drink plenty of water. Warm or hot days and the wind
will really suck the moisture out of you. Coffee, tea and many carbonated
drinks that contain caffeine act as diuretics and reduce the body's moisture
levels. If you get thirsty or aren't making restroom calls, you are already low
on liquids. It would be a good idea to carry water that you can drink while
riding and empty it between stops. If you do get dehydrated, a sports drink
like Gatorade will help re-hydrate you.
11. Allstate RV Road help is great insurance. They will
tow or carry your bike to a qualified repair shop. Pete and I have both been
carried over 100 miles with no charge. All that was needed was a signature. I
can't stress a variety of riding clothes enough. We will. I'm certain, run into
hot and cold weather during our two weeks on the road and you can ask past
participants about how unpleasant the cold or heat can be without the proper
clothes.
12. If the leader makes an error and turns the wrong way
or misses a turn, just follow along as if it was a correct decision (unless it
is illegal). This will keep the group together.
13. Don't pull so close in front of trucks that they have
to brake. Truckers can't see what is close to the front of their trucks.
Besides, if something happens and you have to put on the brakes, the truck may
not be able to stop before it runs you over.
14. Unlike the old Harley key, (the flat type) I have yet
to find a drum key that will not open the gas filler door on all Harleys that
use the drum keys. So it would be a good idea, if your pas-senger doesn't have
a set of keys, to carry either your spare ignition key or a drum key from
another lock.
15. Give your committee chairman an emergency phone
number and he will make several copy's so the leaders, and drag bikes will all
have copy's.
16. Use page 5 in your Grand Tour Book to consolidate all
of your reservation information.Such as: cost, reservation confirmation number,
contact at the motel, and the type of room you reserved.
The other document I sent you has 3 or 4 good rules that could be considered as ride rules, even though it was geared toward the Grand Tour guidelines. I picked 3. Number 6 provides a method to rejoin and is related to the rule that talks about leaving the group.
About preferred positions. After a while of riding 4th which puts me on the right side of the lane, I'd like to change positions so I'm on the inside of the lane for a while. Seems that there is an unwritten rule about staying put so it is easy for lead and tail bike to keep track of folks. I'd like to change that if possible. I prefer the inside lane but am willing to take the outside lane for a while to share.
6. When catching up with the group after you have made a special stop to take a picture etc., merge into the group just ahead of the two chase bikes (third position from the back.). You can move to your preferred position when the group starts from the next regular stop.
12. If the leader makes an error and turns the wrong way or misses a turn, just follow along as if it was a correct decision (unless it is illegal). This will keep the group together.
13. Don't pull so close in front of trucks that they have to brake. Truckers can't see what is close to the front of their trucks. Besides, if something happens and you have to put on the brakes, the truck may not be able to stop before it runs you over.
Basic Safe Riding Procedures
Amended March 1981
1.
It is highly recommended that you ride with your headlight on
at all times.
2.
It is recommended that you and your passenger wear helmets
and protective clothing. We ask that you wear helmets on all club rides.
3.
When going through a stop sign or signal, bunch up so that
we can get as many bikes through as possible at one time. However, do so only
if it is safe.
4.
Never put yourself or anyone else in a position that could
cause an accident. THINK BEFORE YOU
ACT. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.
5.
Always follow posted speed limit signs and all highway
laws.
6.
Riding on freeways: Ride in a staggered formation. The Ride
Captain and Referee will then be in direct view of each other. Keep a safe distance apart. When changing
lanes, the Ride Captain will signal. The Referee will then change lanes when it
is clear and safe for the entire group, and then the Ride Captain will change
lanes followed by the rest of the group. Special circumstances may dictate a
change in this procedure by the Ride Captain.
7.
Riding on two-lane or city streets: Ride in single file. Pass when you can do so
safely. Don’t worry about getting left behind, as the Ride Captain and Referee
will not be running away from you.
Watch your rearview mirror. If a car or other vehicle is in a hurry to
pass, pull over as far to the right as is safe and let them get by. Do not hog the road.
8.
Emergency on freeway:
The Referee will stop with the bike in trouble. The Assistant Referee
will contact the Ride Captain as to the problem, and the Ride Captain will lead
the group off the freeway at the first available off-ramp. The Assistant
Referee will then wait at the off-ramp to indicate the location of the rest of
the group. The Ride Captain will turn right and stop at the nearest safe spot
and wait for the Referee. The Assistant Referee will then assume the Referee’s
duties.
9.
Emergency on two-lane and/or city street: Referee will stop
with the bike in trouble, and the rest of the group will stop as soon as they
can safely pul off the road. The Assistant Referee will assume the Referee’s
duties.
10.
While on an organized ride, if you are not going to finish
with the group, please inform the Ride Captain and/or the Referee.
11.
Before a ride starts, the Ride Captain, Referee, and
Assistance Referee’s duties will be assigned and will remain the same unless a
designated change takes place, at which time all in the group will be
notified. Keep your position in the
group as constant as possible, because when you swap positions, all others in
the group must also change to maintain the staggered positions.
12.
The Ride Captain
may decide to break the group into smaller groups.
13.
Before every ride
there will be a drivers’ meeting, and it is mandatory that all drivers attend.
