| Rules of Engagement | |
| Hang'n Out | |
| Depending on where the crew happens to meet, it's expected that riders not act like complete tools when entering or exiting the premisis. Squidliness has it's place, but not in the Sobey's/Tim Horton parking lot. Please keep the wheelies, burn outs, circus stunts and endos to a minimum when making your grand entrance. Very important: Do yourself and everyone else a favor and try not to knock down, back into, or destroy any other bike on your way in/out. | |
| Cruiz'n | |
| When and if a big group of us (usually 35+ bikes) head into town, don't speed through red lights or cut cages off in traffic. Don't worry so much about staying with the group but rather your own personal safety and those around you. There are generally members that have a slight idea where we are going and will make sure you are in tow should you get misplaced. | |
| Follow the Leader | |
| The dynamics of group riding are fairly simple to comprehend. When going through town or while riding on the highway, staggerd riding is the pattern every SCREAM rider should follow. This gives the riders up front and behind enough space to move around. If your doing it correctly, you shouldn't be in anyone's blind spot should they check their mirrors. Always look for the reflection of the eyes of the rider infront of you (in their mirrors). | |
| Pick'n Up The Pace |
| When the roads get tighter and the speeds increase, generally everyone rides in single file to ensure riders have enough space to comfortably ride and make last second decisions. Do Not ride up anyone's ass or in their blind spot. Do not pass going into blind turns or up hills. Do not pass on the inside regardless of how much of a racer you think you are. Not everyone has your "ability" and the person you are passing might not hold their line. |
| Keep'n Up |
| This is one thing you do not have
to do to be a part of the group. If your a first time
rider, aren't accustomed to traveling at higher speeds
(when not legally called for) or are worried about being
left behind, don't be. Someone will always wait for you,
always! No one is ever left behind (so far) and we'd
rather you drove at a speed that was comfortable for you
than hurt yourself and others by trying to keep up. If you are trying too hard to keep up and become eratic, inconsitent, and generally freak'n dangerous to your health and others, you will be informed by another memeber. Slow it down and concentrate on your driving. You will not be looked down upon for being a "slower" rider but rather respected for knowing your current limititations and not driving beyond them. |
| Health Stuff |
| This may seem like a silly thing
to you, but if you have any health conditions that may,
at any time, interfer with your ability to drive, let
someone know. If you are deathly allergic to bee/wasp
stings and will go into anaphalatic shock should you get
stung at 60 mph, tell someone. If you are a diabetic and
your blood sugar is getting funky, or that we need to
stop so you can take your insulin/meds - whatever, tell
someone. If your contact blew out and you are practically
blind, tell someone. If you are going to puke, pass out,
have a migrane or have to pee, tell someone! If your a
new time rider, you'll generally find that the majority
of the people riding with you care enough about your
health to stop for you to fix/swallow/inject/or throw up
whatever if is that will make you feel better. You can't ride/have fun if your not feeling well or might not feel well, so let someone know... No one will think you funny or a hazzard to others, but you might be if you don't tell someone! |
| Don't You Dare |
| Don't even think about riding in
the group if you've been drinking or consuming any mind
altering substances. Riding itself is a natural high
(that's why we're all addicted) so if you find yourself
under another influence besides adrenaline, stay home. We
don't want you in that state and we won't like you in
that state. Save the drinking and the partying for
another time and we should be fine. CBR-CHICK '2000 |
