@ Utsav chs
Please take this as a suggestion: (the first part of course)

When you ride in a group, Please please please take care of your riding style, as in please maintain enough distance between you and the bike ahead of you, you might have a ultra-high-tech-state-of-the-art bike, but others (like me) don't. So please maintain proper distance.

Please try to improve upon this aspect of group riding, failing which I will have to "NOT RIDE WITH YOU"

sorry if it sounded rude...

Agreed to what you said as he does the same in city too and the same problem is with eshan also.

Am glued to this thread for minute by minute updates

please explain!!!!!

Dude you ride quiet close to others and i have observed in case if someone suddenly takes left or right you could be in big trouble. Hope you remember when we had gone for dinner that time kartik and i had told you not to ride so close but maintain at least 5 bike distance or ride ahead as this habit can make you and the other rider both fall in trouble.

@Utsav (and maybe Eshaan and Royd too) It is expected that you ride at least 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front at highway speeds at all times. But, during group rides, as this 2-second requirement means the group will eventually split too far apart, it is relaxed to 1 second with the added condition that you will not follow the line of the rider in front and ride in a staggered formation as shown below

_1
__
2_
__
_3
__
4_
__
_5
__
6_
And so on and so forth...

This way, all odd an even numbered riders ride behind other odd and even numbered riders(1-3-5 and 2-4-6). And since each rider is 1 second behind the rider immediately in front, he is in fact 2 seconds behind the rider whose line he is following.(each '_' means a gap of 0.5 second)

These timings however are flexible and may be raised in case of challenging riding conditions like rain / off-road / gravel where braking distances increase. Riding with these tolerances ensures that we avoid incidents involving multiple bikes crashing into each other during a group ride.

For more details on how to stay safe on the road during a group ride, refer to
Group Riding: The Art of Safe Riding

@Eshaan Stop flooding the thread. Did you not read the thing about not posting continuous messages and the one about excessive smilies? How many smilies can you count in this multi-line post of mine?
P.S.: The other topics on The Art of Safe Riding are also good. Do give them a read(re-read for those who have already read it.. a revision never hurts )

Please, please do not buy stuff at probiker. Lots of duplicate stuff there. Try DSG or cramster.
