The Complete Guide for Safe and Fun Motorcycle Group Riding

Motorcycles are fun, and even more fun with friends! Riding in a group is pretty awesome, but there’s also a bunch of “unwritten” rules of the road when it comes to motorcycle safety when you participate in a group ride.

Group riding is a topic not widely discussed in most motorcycle books. Even the state licensing manuals only have a few short paragraphs about group riding, This book fills in the missing information riders should know about in order to ride safely in a group, and have a fun, stress-free experience.

Ride Captains and Tail-Gunners covers all of the “how and why” questions that most motorcyclists have about group riding.

Written by Mark Turkel, avid motorcyclist, former safety officer, and currently a ride captain in a club with over 400 riders, Mark brings a unique perspective to group riding.

“It is important that everyone participating in a group ride understand the group riding safety rules, and knowing “why” we do the things we do make for a smoother ride in which everyone can be safe and enjoy the day.”
