| People who ride motorcycles do so for a variety of reasons. Some motorcycle riders in Alabama choose to ride a bike because of the incredible gas mileage a modest motorcycle will bring, while others choose to ride the baddest hog―they thrive only when they can scream down the open road. But everyone who rides a motorcycle has to be aware of the Alabama requirements and responsibilities that go along with the ride. Riders need to pass special tests to qualify for a AL DPS motorcycle license. Reading the motorcycle manual and spending many hours practicing on your bike are a critical part of the learning process. Street-legal motorcycles also need to be properly registered in Alabama. You'll need to fill out the paperwork and pay the fees when you register your ride at the MVD. |

Prior to any ride we will host a "rider's meeting" during
which we will:
- Review where we are going and what route we will be
taking
- Describe how we handle lane changing and what to do
if the group splits apart
- Specify which channel on the CB we will be using and
that we ALL WILL USE hand-signals as well
- Demonstrate and explain each hand-signal we use
- Determine the riding experience of everyone that is
new to the group
- Assign (to new people only) 'SLOT' positions that they
are to ride in until the drag bike is satisfied with their
abilities to handle their bikes
- Invite all the riders to do a 'walk around' their bikes to
insure all is in order and then to take a quick look at
the bikes on either side of them for the same reason
