THEY REALLY ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO PASS! (SHOULD YOU?)

[@davedodds5200]

I was making leisurely miles in Northern California on my BMW RT when a fair-sized group of East Bay Dragons came up on me. I moved over to allow them to pass and was surprised to have two or three members wave me in to join them! I rode with them for several miles after joining them and felt the community of riders had reached new horizons for me. When my exit came up, I saluted all and received smiles and salutes in return and have remembered this little incident (about 25 minutes or so) with pleasure ever since and am sorry that circumstances didn't allow me to meet these fellow riders.

[@JustGKue]

Awesome!

[@Skyerzen]

fuck other riders, they ruin the whole experience. I like riding in groups of 3 to 5 riders of similar skill level. Anything more and it turns into a fucking parade.

[@fishermanoflight]

Should've followed them. Clubs are always looking for loyal members

[@mathias6423]

@davedodds5200 I too have been privy to recieve invites like that to join a group of 15-20 ppl riding, I did not know if they knew each other from before I just hanged with them for many miles riding in the middle of their "pack", was fun and I too felt a strong nice feeling of community I have rarely felt before. It is something completely different to ride in a "big" group like that out on the open roads. I totally get why people create clubs to ride together, that is def the most fun and great aspect of it. The other illegal stuff some of them do I am not as interested in, but the riding in a group thing I am 100% for :)

Lifetime rider here. Find this ridiculous. The issue is that groups of riders (usually on cruisers) act as rolling roadblocks (and they don't care). That's what's discourteous. The idea that I should have to get permission to pass someone that is already acting in a discourteous manner just isn't right. These groups feel they can impose their riding style on others - that's not OK.

[@JustGKue]

Agreed

I pass and waive hello and never had a problem. It seems to me that asking another man for permission to do something, anything, is antithetical to the spirit or motorcycle life. Never have never will and bite my tongue for noone

I personally take the "higher road" and still am courteous to even the slow groups. Have you considered that they may be inexperienced and not realize what they are doing?

I ride without regard to asking for permission.

I'm a lone ranger mostly and ride a damn fast sport bike but common sense is uncommon these days and having a oz of it will save your bacon.

I started riding in 1981 and I've NEVER heard of asking another rider for "permission" to pass. I just ride my ride. That's my business. I'll acknowledge other riders always with a nod or a hand salute depending upon the posture of my motorcycle (am I in a sharp turn or straight and level), but I won't ask permission to pass. That's what slow lanes are for. I do ride the speed limit, so 99% of the time, others are passing me, but I've never encountered anyone asking my permission. I just that it's ridiculous. They don't need my permission, and I don't need theirs.

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

One thing i never see, in the comments, that should be considered is - Keep in mind (depending on your state laws) a caravan of motorcycles is treated the same as ONE vehicle. If the 1st part of the group has made it through a green light and now that light has turned red, the cars waiting at the cross street (with the now green light) are required to WAIT for the rest of the group to proceed through the (now) red light. This is why there is normally one member of the group parked in front of them (a courteous reminder 2 wait). With that in mind, how much care would you use to pass a vehicle that is over 100yd long? You might make sure it doesn't plan on changing lanes in the immediate future? This is just one of the factors but it is the one rarely mentioned.

[@blessedhighlyfavored7263]

Who mentioned aggressively? All I was asking is who is to say that we can’t pass the MC on the fwy. I’m a tax payer who’s been authorize by the DMV (to ride) my motorcycle in accordance with the laws that have been established.

I never really understood this as a new rider, but after some close calls, it makes sense. The point about safety is very true at the 2:18 mark on your video. There was some debris that a biker in your group had to quickly maneuver around. If he/she was aware of other faster riders passing by, the swerve could have caused a bigger issue.

[@zigzzagz5732]

You have no idea what you're talking about. It's not "bullies" it's safety when you're riding around a large pack. A really big pack takes a lot of organizing. Outriders to block traffic at intersections to ensure the entire pack makes it through. A guy riding drag who will help anyone who falls behind. The lead at front left who makes decisions and a road captain. You're doing the right thing by contacting by a wave the guy riding drag. He knows if there's a turn coming up and you don't want to be in the middle of the pack when it lane changes for a turn. You get in a close call, or make physical contact with a bike in the pack or god forbid cause an accident because you got pissy about them riding in a pack and decided to do whatever you felt like because "I'll show them." Well, you'll get what you have coming then for showing no respect and causing an accident. It's up to you to know these things if you ride in areas where there's lots of MCs and a large biking community. You give respect and they'll give it back. It's easy as that.

Riding in very tight groups and of course trying to make as much noise as they can so people notice them.

Yeah I have a Yamaha Mt-10 so I’d be gone in literally three seconds and there’s nothing those poor tryhards could do

[@mannyechaluce3814]

Protocol? there is a new protocol on the road ? :D what's next ? When you are on the Faster Lane and are indeed Faster, that is the only protocol to pass, that is there since the horse and buggy

[@southernsass2937]

All about respect and safety. This made me smile.

[@JustGKue]

Indeed

[@oioier098hen]

I don't know if this is a USA thing but if anyone driving or riding doesn't need permission and nobody has any right to object to overtaking in a safe manner. I for one am not asking anyone for permission, I've been riding for over 30 years and I've never heard anything so stupid.

[@706Rocks]

I ride a 110cc bike and was surprised at how bikers nod and wave. I thought I’d be shunned and they’d laugh at my ”scooter”, but actually it’s the opposite. It’s my first time on 2 wheels and I’m still very new. I am really liking the bike community much more than the car community.

[@JustGKue]

[@KodakMostHated]

I see you’re taking full advantage of your educational skills. Thanks so much for putting your own special spin on How and Why. Of course you started today’s lesson with a historical Lesson, that made me want to keep watching until the end.

[@JustGKue]

Thank you big brother ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

[@ghostgoblin25]

NO! You NEVER ask thugs for permission for anything! Thugs don't own the road. Never bend the knee to these type of people.

[@tscreez490]

This education needs to get passed on to everyone. Now some times, you might run into a crew that don’t want you to pass them. Now for any reason you feel you need to pass them and it’s safe…what do you do? This is why I will always keep a fast bike cause you might have to scoot on pass them. I’ve heard of situations but never experienced them.

[@JustGKue]

Pass respectfully

[@brianbalcer]

Unless you are flipping them off or something how do you pass unrespectfully? Passing someone should be just that, passing someone. Nothing more nothing less.

[@Jessiejam-44]

While riding Mountain Road My group of 3 1:41 came up on some 4 HD guys. They were Clueless to Us being Behind them… so when the road opened up, We went past them. With No issues, or I thought… the at the gas station they came up to talking about Rider etiquette…. I was thinking , should I use Smoke signals or text them to Pass… Most HD riders don’t wear Helmets or ear protection. So they can stuff their etiquette where the sun doesn’t shine.

[@DiogenesOfCa]

What etiquette is there if you approach a group of bikes at stop light? Should you stop in the back of the group or go to the left or right hand lane and pass?

[@JustGKue]

I would pull to the front and if empty lane. And pass on green

[@erickdorsey556]

I'm a sportbiker who worked on Harleys for years, I ride alone and always show respect when passing a club or group of riders.

[@JustGKue]

indeed!

[@MW-iv3es]

I've been riding nearly 50yrs I'm a lone rider . I've never asked for permission. To continue on my way. I get where you're coming from. I mind my own business and move on. I ride my ride and admire the thunder as I pass. Safe. Journeys.

[@JustGKue]

I get ya my friend...stay safe out there! Ride hard and free

[@theSword-]

The only "permission" needed is to use your blinker, and drive safely. Other than that, kiss my ass.

[@JustGKue]

😎😎

[@vernonpoweakabolo]

Just G-KUE, informational and done well. I always enjoy your videos. I see you closing in on 10k subs. That's only a milestone based on the potential this channel has. Much respect keep doing what you do sir!

[@JustGKue]

Thank you big bro! Thank you for being here from the jump!

[@monsterslayer4317]

I belong to the most exclusive MC in existence. I am the only member, and there are no schoolyard rules telling me how to sit, how to stand in line, how to speak. The charter of my MC is to expand the boundaries of a free life. I regard every rider as a brother, until he proves unworthy of that regard. I treat all riders with reasonable respect and courtesy. That includes getting the attention of a fellow rider before passing. But getting "permission"? Get permission, or what? An implied threat? Stacking up twenty bikes so nobody can pass is the discourteous behavior. When someone rides up behind me, I move over and wave them on, and wish them godspeed.

[@JustGKue]

😎

[@jimmylight4866]

Uhh if you wanna be a meth millionaire your gonna need a network of suppliers, customers and protection of your turf.

[@waydel1]

It’s just about safety and respect, something all of us need to practice more ✊

[@JustGKue]

Indeed!

[@yepimback]

Agreed!

[@JustGKue]

Do you believe you should ask for permission to pass? lemme know below. Check out my last ride to Daytona Bike week here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXuTmYZvdrmSn9U

[@rottweilerfun9520]

It's smart to do , the group might be about to change lanes into the lane that you're in. The guy in the back could let the others know to wait , or let me know to wait. It's common sense.

[@Dolan1337]

I pass when i want to

[@DonziGT230]

Absolutely not.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

@@rottweilerfun9520 Or maybe, like normal drivers and everyone else on the road, you look before trying to change lanes and if someone is in the way you just wait? Asking to pass someone on the hwy is the dumbest sh*t I've heard of, and is actually dangerous since most people won't know what the hell you're doing and will be distracting trying to figure out what you're on about.

[@strongbear4509]

You raise some wonderful points that I hadn't even considered like a huge group and maybe they will be exiting soon. Thanks for that!

[@JustGKue]

No problem! Ride safe

[@bailey9r]

But if they "maybe will be exiting soon" shouldn't they NOT be in the hammer lane?

[@MrPatar247]

If they didn’t ride in the left lane/passing lane this wouldn’t really be a problem

[@hemp64731]

What if we are by ourselves, and I’m ripping up the roads on a 636? I passed some guys a month ago, now that I’m thinking about it, they were trying to catch up, I was going well over 120, I was testing the bike since the break-in period was over.

[@JustGKue]

The worst thing is to blow by any group of bikers, club or no club...it can and will startle the group and can cause a wreck. Just ease up and ease past then haul ass! Ride safe Peace

[@nolanb7150]

Interesting video. In my 32 years of riding, I have never asked permission to pass another group of riders. Nor have I ever had another group of riders ask for my permission. One time I was on the interstate passing a group and some of them came up onto a car and I got over into the far-left track and pointed for them to come over onto the right track, so they didn't have to slow down for the car as I was passing them and then the car. But that's it. Some of the handlebars on the bikes in the video are pretty awesome. 👍

[@JustGKue]

Thank you!

[@bigrobpierce3804]

Thanks G I have heard that riding through a group of MC'S is disrespectful and could cause some problems. I always want to be respectful at all times✌🏽✌🏽

[@JustGKue]

Thx brother! Just a bit of courtesy

[@chappy0690]

These wankers don't deserve any respect, they don't respect you!

[@TammyMartinBLUE]

Being polite is never wrong, Its respect & thats really all we want♥️🧡💛💚💜💙

[@JustGKue]

Indeed!

[@browardc2428]

You should have 200k subscribers right now fam. Your videos too well put together 🔥🔥🔥

[@JustGKue]

One day bro...one day. Hopefully ✌🏾😊

[@TheDigger06]

No,they dont own the road, why should groups bully others into asking, nothing to do wi safety if everyones riding properly

[@TurnipGreen]

I get a little sketched out when I'm riding along and see a big group of bikers coming up behind me. Is there a protocol for that? Do i need to just get over and let them pass? I usually do just get out of the way and give them the wave. But I honestly don't know club rules

[@JustGKue]

Usually they're running Hella fast in the left. No different from a car that is traveling faster. I'd just move and let pass then get back

[@derekdjonsgaming]

More of this! Been daily commuting for just a few years on a big bore bike but I totally agree with everything you say. If anything rules, common sense and courtesy get you home safe. Took out a few mirrors, brake-checked here and there but soon realized that was not going to solve anything. Liked and subscribed. Understanding one another and learning to communicate is key.

[@JustGKue]

Perfectly stated!

[@hollywood93c87]

Respect goes a long ways ✌️

[@JustGKue]

Indeed bro

[@k3lvd]

But it's also a 2 way street , ....are MC's gonna ask if they can hold everyone up ? Or if they can pass you ?

[@JustGKue]

Yes

[@yiannislafogiannis9472]

I like the mind state you are in and on the video I could see the mutual respect between the 2 biker groups ✊

[@JustGKue]

Indeed! Respect and courtesy goes a long way!

[@redrider1079]

Several years ago, I was on the road in Arizona riding solo, number 1 lane when a biker rolled up on the #2 lane and pointed forward. I looked over, nodded my head and off he went. That was the first time anyone had ever done that to me and I was taken aback. I didn't notice what colors he had on and I'm sure he couldn't see all of my Firefighter colors, but it felt nice. A few years later I was riding back home, in the carpool lane when I came up to a 1%, 2 lanes away from me. I slowed down, he looked at me and I pointed forward and he nodded for me to go. So, as you stated, respect goes a long way. By the way, a couple of rice rockets had passed me before I came up to the 1% and they didn't look over or slow down. Ride safe and long.

[@JustGKue]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Respect is key

[@twoseriousdogs6762]

This video was random as hell but even more informative then I could have imagined. I'm a Ryker rider and never considered this but now I know about this unwritten courtesy. I always do two or three wheels down salute when I see fellow riders but this is nice to know. Thanks for posting

[@JustGKue]

No problem thank you for watching!

[@NJPAS]

Respect as always... Thanks for sharing the protocols.

[@JustGKue]

Indeed

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

Thanks for sharing this. I've been riding for approximately 60 years and was never aware of this etiquette. I have heard tales of certain biker groups being angered that another bike passed their group, but I didn't understand the reasons for this.

[@JustGKue]

Glad it was helpful!

[@theshonuff8956]

I think you pretty much summed up pretty well. Its not so much asking for permisson but communication between riders is key for safety. Nice video!

[@garywheeler2055]

They are not in control of the roads and people should not give them that authority…. Pass them

[@JustGKue]

😎

[@theodorstravels]

Never been in a position, where I need to pass a group. But when I see a group approaching from behind, I pull to the right side of my lane, so they can pass, regardless if there is oncoming traffic or not.

[@JustGKue]

Great reply!

[@ThankthemosthighGod]

Sport bike rider here Yamaha Fz1… typically cruisers don’t wave so I don’t ask for permission when I see them on the hwy💨💨💨💨

[@JustGKue]

I do

[@ThankthemosthighGod]

🤚🏾 I’ll wave back brother

[@GmanfromTexas]

While doing the poker run in the Florida keys I had mixed experiences. Some groups would show etiquette while others just zoomed by recklessly. I guess it depends on your character.

[@FXFBS23]

Do you always ask permission from the rider in the last position/rear because he controls the lane changes? Do you need to signal/point/salute everyone you pass after getting permission?

[@JustGKue]

Rear and as you're passing just gesture toward them as you pass

[@scottcalloway4630]

I have been riding solo multiple times when I see a group coming. Without fail, the leader pulls up and acknowledges me, waits for my return acknowledgement, waves and they are on their way. These have all been from the 1% clubs in my area.

[@brianchristenson6055]

Bullshit! I caught up to a six pack this morning. I waited for a passing lane to go around them and they blocked both lanes. I had to follow their slow asses all the way to my turn to the twisties. Bikers are thugs and once they put that vest on and join their group they are suddenly tough guys. Having to deal with slow cars sucks. Having to deal with thugs on bikes is just stupid!!!!!

[@JustGKue]

The exception....not the rule.. be safe friend

[@aintnodisco7127]

Cool, learned something new today. Not that I have come upon too many large groups of bikes, and I'm usually solo. But some additional dynamics to be aware of out on the road.
