PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS
The Patriot Guard Riders is
a diverse group of patriots
from every state that come
together to honor fallen
soldiers at funeral services
across the country. Visit www.
patriotguard.org for more
information about the group.
Birds of a feather flock together and so do motorcyclists. It is always fun to
meet up with other bikers and go for a ride. Whether it is planned or you just
meet a stranger on the road, communicating is very important. Failure to com-
municate can be confusing, frustrating or tragic.
Knowing motorcycle hand signals can help communicate everything from a
pothole to needing gas. Riding with one person or hundreds of people, it is up to
each rider to relay signals back to the next rider. Here are the some of the most
common hand signals.
Remember to allow yourself space and distance in case of an unexpected
stop. Never ride side-by-side. It may look and feel cool, but it only takes a
strong crosswind or a dog running out in front of you for you and your friend
to crash into each other. Don't forget to use your bike's true signals. Brake early.
Remember to flash your lights to warn others of your presence. Stay alert and
stay alive.
