4 signs saying that you are an awesome Motorcyclist!
You cannot claim yourself as a rider if you don’t have knowledge about riders’ etiquette. It’s not as hard as earning a driving license but it’s still significant! You may have ideas with certain written rules about motorcycling but you got to identify that there is a hidden set of unwritten rules when it comes to motorcyclists. If you are not able to ask it to those hardcore riders in your gang, just read ahead; because we got you back!
The second Saturday of October is observed as National Motorcycle Ride day! On this occasion, let us learn about some unwritten riders’ etiquette every rider should know. And check how many you are following. If you are a pro in this, you can definitely say that you are an awesome motorcyclist!
Never skip the waves!
You don’t know each other, you’re probably riding different motorbike models, but you wave as a sign of respect to a fellow rider. This is a sign of brotherhood. Waving at a fellow motorcyclist is a way of showing that and giving each other a bit of support. SO don’t skip a wave unless you have to!
Never touch someone’s bike without permission
Being a rider, you may have this craze to go check other motorcycles especially when they are rare, expensive and customized! But don’t! See, for many riders, motorcycles are like their prized possessions, somewhat like their girlfriends! You can’t walk up to somebody’s girlfriend and just grab them right! So just like that, don’t ever try to touch someone else’s motorcycle without asking first!
Be aware of the Head tap!
Riders usually have secret codes on specific occasions, especially in crisis! One such code is used when the cops are ahead. They tap on helmets to the fellow riders indicating that there are cops ahead. Return the favor, and you’ll build up solid motorcycle karma.
Assist other riders in distress
Whenever you get a chance to assist some riders in distress, just pull over and help them. This is again a part of motorcycle karma. You reap what you sow! Help your fellow riders when in need. Even if you don’t have mechanical experience, a little help won’t harm!
This motorcycle ride day, get customized jackets and apparels promoting your rider gang and get set ride!
