These are supposed to be displayed on your dashboard, which is fine an dandy if you're driving a cage, but if you're on a bike there's no place to place these tags where they might be swiped and used by another unscrupulous driver for their own, cage or biker. I do not believe there is an aftermarket item that attaches to your bike windshield or dash that allows you to display these tags or parking ...

Not wanting to invest in yet again another jacket, I found that a surveyors vest fits perfectly over any of my jackets, is a bright lime green, has reflective tape for night riding, and cost $20. I imagine ...

A Group Ride is normally composed of a Ride Leader (Leader) and a Sweep or Drag Rider (bringing up the rear) also called Tail Gunner.

If the group stops please let’s have everyone stop to assemble. 3) Try ...
