some more from the other forum

You are never finished with learning, when it comes to motorcycle riding. Whether you have just begun to ride or are riding for ages, there will always be a lot to learn.
Please share few tips from your own experiences..

few cents from my experiences

in general

• never ride on the white road markers esp on rains, its slippery
• never overtake a truck from the left, you never know when he shifts to the lazy lane
• never ride too close to anything. especially those who have more than two wheels, you never know when he dodges a brick on the road between his tyres
• never overtake an overtaking vehicle
• indicate atleast 5-10 seconds before taking a turn so that you are safe from the vehicle behind you

while riding in a group

• always keep a safe distance for panic breaking while riding in formation
• dont ride too close to any vehicle, their brakes may be too quick to control yours
• do not ride in parallel
• dont scatter on the lanes creating nuisance to everyone
• follow the formation
• ride at your own pace, never try too hard to catch up the rider ahead
• keep checking the rvms for a fellow rider and traffic
• if a rider ahead overtakes a vehicle from right, follow him. few four wheel drivers tend to panic and jerk to left suddenly and if you are there on their left BANG!
• while overtaking vehicles in traffic, use your own judgment and timing and dont blindly follow the rider ahead
• when you cant see a fellow rider behind for quite a while, slow down the pace and the same has to be followed up in the order till the one who is leading
• make enough room for other's mistakes

for long distance riding

• drink a lot of liquid preferably water with electrolyte since you tend to loose a lot of salt + liquid from the body
• dont ever underestimate the stupidity of the local people on roads
• give enough breaks for yourself and the bike
• carry the basic medicines like one for fever, cold, headache, diarrhea (u never know when you need them in the most embarrassing situations)
• carry basic spares for the motorcycle like the clutch/accelerator/brake cables, spark plug, fuse, headlamp bulb, engine oil, tyre tubes, gear shifter, brake/clutch levers
