If you're purposely blocking a green light so others can run a red, you should be plowed. And preferably not live through it.

I used to love riding but now that I'm older. Screw it I value my life to much. I've run way to many calls of motorcycle vs car. These stupid ass northern transplants from up North moving down here drive like fools and have increased Florida's population so much compared back to when I use to ride.
People drive like absolute idiot's and do not pay attention to who or what's going on around them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So you suggest stopping on an exit ramp so you can all get rear-ended by the next guy not paying attention? What kind of Harley do you ride? I ride an adventure bike and a dual sport. I wish it had louder pipes but they are expensive. You don't understand how to drive safely? You don't know what following distances are? There is always a safe speed and sometimes it's 0 MPH. Or maybe I'm just a bit cautious being a utility worker and holding a CDL. Having to constantly avoid dangerous situations that other drivers cause. Almost being killing too many times to count while working on the side of the road. Have fun bashing Harley riders over and over again I guess. |

Some big groups are riding for a "cause" which must mean traffic laws don't apply to them, else they get separated on their way from one place to another to raise awareness for something somewhere. Granted, some groups do some real good, but what you're talking about is usually more about staying with the pack. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have no idea of the situation but feel like it was made up. Motorcycles don't even take up much space and off ramps usually have shoulders on them. The entire thing sounded like BS. But nice job white knighting Harley haters. You even say you are not a Harley hater and then ask me what kind I ride. I ride an adventure bike and a dual sport.

I believe (correct me if wrong) that if the opposing light is red, it is legal to block/hold traffic for the rest of the group to get through.
It keeps the group together, moving, and not constantly breaking formation to keep up and have cars in between them. |

A test you have to pass whenever you renew your licenses after 70 years old. Check their reaction times, depth perception, tailgating, turn signal use, stop sign, red light reaction time and how many buildings they crash into when they forget what pedal does what. Hell, test first time drivers as well. |

It keeps the group together, moving, and not constantly breaking formation to keep up and have cars in between them. Enforcement may or may not be strict depending on the area. Minnesota for example: Passed in 2012, this program allows motorcyclists to be certified as traffic controllers, trained in flagging operations, intersection traffic control, the rules of the road and group ride instruction.
There are other requirements, including qualification standards, a clear driving record, valid driver’s license, individual liability insurance and proper high visibility apparel. Classroom study is two hours long followed by one hour of practical training at a live intersection near one of several colleges that offer the course. The cost is $30. Not a bad investment for organizations, motorcycle clubs, riding clubs, etc. At Road Guardians, we feel the basic Accident Scene Management course should be considered as part of the curriculum for traffic controllers also, as part of the certification requirements. |

Hey, I didn't create the stereotype, the portion of riders that we've all been referencing did.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Unless the State has a law on the books allowing a group to do so, or they are being escorted by the police (who will block the intersection), it is illegal for one or two of them to block the intersection so that the entire group can get through the light. The few times that i have ridden with a large group, this was addressed as "stop at the fucking light, the person up front assumes the lead, catch up with the rest of the group as traffic permits". The smart thing to do is scatter sub-lead riders throughout the group for such an occurrence. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Now these "average" Harley riders seem to dress, ride, and behave as if to emulate the "biker" persona I grew up around. Except they're no outlaws, and they don't fight the police. So they're weird posers, pretending to be criminals. Who wants to pretend to be a gang member who hates civil society? No one I want anything to do with. So yeah, I hate em. Because life experience has taught me that they're either bad people, or posers trying to use image of criminals as fake street cred. |
