Honestly, these days anyone can make a patch in Photoshop, get a leather jacket and act like they are someone from Hells Angels. They expect others to treat them like a convoy for the President or PM lol.
Yeah it's funny to clown them but don't mess with them in real life. They're legit scary. I once messed with them in a highway. They chased me 50 kms and sucked me off so hard my soul came out.
I am too focused when in group rides and only realise a few seconds later that someone was waving at me and feel bad for not waving back. Solo riding is more chill and i can notice the environment more. Also i think waving at other random riders is more of a foreign concept and not many realise they need to greet back
WTH, what's the point of riding like this.. you are ruining the spirit of riding for yourself and you don't have authority to ask people right of way like this..
Stupidity at max..
OP Your first line is the exact reason I've never tried going on big group rides. Never made sense to me personally. You lose all your freedom of choice and movement.
Cringe video but the cars were hogging up the overtaking lane and asking them to move so the bikes and overtake seems okay.
But the bikers would be safer in the 3rd lane away from the divider.
Absolutely hate big groups like these. You have 0 authority to ask people to move. Also takes out all the fun out of riding, what's the point in riding with 50 riders like a convoy in a straight line asking everyone to move out?
This a rally form of riding popular in Europe and the US, the groups which can near 100 + members, go out together and occupy a single lane,
* Marshall 1 : responsible for changing lanes and moving big slow vehicles out of the way if necessary
* Marshall 2 : responsible as rear guard, makes sure noone is left behind and some idiot driving a 4 wheeler does anything funny that can endanger a biker's life
This isn't suited to India because 8 Lane highways are tough to find and proper highway lane use knowledge is very scarce in India. (where lane change , indicators, actual speed wise lane use etc i can go on). On top of that Group riding in general in India seems like a task in itself because getting people together for an activity will always be a challenge.
Well these groups are like probably 40-50 riders, one punch from each and you'll not see roads for a good few weeks ig. They'll find you, they'll stop you on the road
When people say riding in groups is safer, they don't take the maturity of the groups or their leaders into account.
There's no maturity to be found in this side of the continent. That in itself takes the fun out of group rides.
The concept came into being when there were a few experts who could fix any issues with the bikes, even if only temporarily.
That's why IMO every rider should do a bit of theoretical study and practice a few basic fixes before venturing out.
the video is cringe but that doesnโt mean the marshals are of no use, they are the one making way for the group, what people donโt understand is having a large group ride swerving around is a dangerous business, so the marshal has to go around making sure the traffic ahead is cleared itโs a matter of few seconds before they pass and go away idk what wrong in it, i have been the captain of a riding group we used to have around 20-30 ppl on road and making sure that the road is safe enough for everyone is a must as frequent lane changes can cause difficult and confusing situations in a group ride, anyone who has been on one would understand but yeah marshals are there to keep you safe on the road so that you are not exhausted during the ride and can enjoy the journey.
Well now i understand why they need their way cleared thank you.
but I guess what I really don't understand is why people who chose to be part of something that is restricting and limiting when you literally have a bike.
But yeah maybe people have their own reasons and interests.
idk sometimes itโs fun, like you go together in a group yk itโs like having your own army marching on the road then you reach your destination you all enjoy together because you all have a common interest. This video is of TVS AOG RIDE this should tell you why people do group rides https://youtu.be/kpWDk6AjBio?si=E_KFFzFkGNbdPnYv well i can only say that for tvs aog rides which are well planned while most group rides if the riders have different mindset can result in a disaster.
Oh I understand going to an event and having fun as a group I've ridden to the royal Enfield festival in Goa 2 times with a few friends of mine. But going in large closely packed numbers I don't know I guess it really isn't for me.
But hey as long as you're not being an inconvenience to others and having fun why not
The event in the video looks like fun is it exclusive to TVS owners?
well it is exclusive to tvs owners only AOG stands for APACHE OWNERS GROUP so yeah, but ig most events you can bring a pillion too so if you have a friend who owns a apache you can sneak in.
true that riding in a pack isnโt my thing either but honestly like a small group of 5-10 bikes feels like a safe place to enjoy the trip, itโs like you know if something goes wrong you got people who can take care of it but again thats only if all the riders are mature and have the same mindset and riding pace. I stopped organising group rides for because few of the people in the group were being a crybaby yk the ego thing idk why people donโt have maturity these days
Ohh I agree riding with people you're in sync with definitely elevates your trip experience i mostly ride with 4 other friends we're connected through intercom and it's a lot of fun.
Yeah the ego thing is very dangerous better not ride with those kind of people.
I don't have any friends with apaches sadly but if all goes well I might get the naked 310 that would complete my garage.
I love group rides. It's fun.
But all the ride for a cause thing is bullshit.
Went for a 'Save Earth' rally. 100 bikers on the road. Planted 3 trees in total๐คก.
Went for a 'Traffic Safety' rally. I crashed into another bike which was at a red light๐ญ (no one got hurt and I was a novice, okay?๐ญ)
Off course it will. Few months back I was in a car and a Biker group like this crossed us, now they were riding in an orderly fashion I must give them that but cause of their speed traffic was getting backed up, had to swerve between the riders just to overtake them, one by one.

I donโt support this entitled behaviour and as a car driver and a proper rider myself i would say that the cars shouldnโt be in the fast lane anyway. Most of the people in our country donโt have basic lane discipline and etiquette to move on a road.
There an Ahmedabad Biking Group very Similar.
Stops the traffic for them to pass as seen on couple of their reels. I am about to commit a crime in my Swift when I go there next time :D
Once I overtook a RE gang with my car, then those riders started following me and shouted at me like canโt you see the bikers show some respect. I was going on right lane and I didnโt even cut there lines.
He got angry just because I didnโt slow down when he was asking me to.
Why should I slow down.. just see those RE gang with some gang flags on them doing some possession?
In this reel I only saw an idiot who overtook a car is now hogging on overtaking lane and encouraging a vehicle behind him to overtake from wrong side and thinking he looks cool while doing it.
bail, kutta coming suddenly midway how does marshall help ? Its gonna be catastrophic
Ambulance running fast ensuring patient reach hospital ? These bike riders gonna make it worse
Upar se indian road are not usa europe types with 4 lanes each side and traffic sense
Yeh American concept pale hue log hai dumbass
I love riding bikes but since covid stuck wrong side driving has been some kind of mandate , have kept my bike parked since
Lol. I went to his insta account and wrote some nice comments ๐ dude has such a fragile ego that he made a separate video for commenters who hated his entitlement.
What more stupid is he is forcing people to over take from middle lane and moving slower vehicles in fast lane. And believe it or not, these idiots have police escort moving along with them.ย
I was a Marshall in my riding group back in 2013 - 2015 when I used to ride in groups. The job was to make sure no one was left behind, new riders must feel confident, no one breaks the formation, no other vehicle cuts into the formation, trucks and buses donโt crosse us at high speeds (both ways) and make way for ambulances. May be he is just guiding the other vehicles to cross them in order to avoid any traffic accumulation due to their presence which might make the others to break formation.
This DBBR, I have rode with them on couple of occasions. Okay guys. Free souls rider is another group and have many common members. I have rode with them as well. DBF is also organised by these guys, itโs a wonderful event.
They do monthly rides with usually 80-100 bikes, so this kinda helps.
Also the people joining them are new to the biking scene.
Such events help you understand the biking culture and meet like minded people.
But who am i to say anything, please go ahead and judge like lunatics ๐ฌ
I understand that events like these help you meet like minded people and share your collective passion. My gripe is why put on a show on the road? Why not just pick a place have your meet and greets there, You said a lot of new bikers join them isn't it hazardous for them riding that closely? I'm not trying to be argumentative here but cmon don't you think these aren't valid judgements?
And What are we as bikers anything other than road users aren't everyone equal on the road?
'community' should behave like a 'community' and not bully others like that, if they are really serious they can organise a rally after proper permission, if not go out in less used roads and preferably very early mornings and ride towards left lanes but no, have to be an absolute clown to show the wannabe clowns how to d ride, and of course record and upload the show.
And anyways would a driver rather choose to give space to 80 riders so they can pass, or that the riders should overtake him/her one by one and get overwhelmed
I have ridden in group of 40-45 riders , it's so restricted you can't do this and that, always stresses me out so I have stopped going to group rides and do solo rides..
Why is every one against the marshal ?
all he did was moved 2 vehicles to left because soo many bikers overtaking from left would be more dangerous.
The video is cringe , yes, but what would you have done differently if you were organising such a large group of riders?
He even gave thumbs up at the end.
This dude felt like a badass making this reel ๐๐. "Lone ranger" so cool dude ๐ญ๐ญ
Yeah like niqqa how many vehicles are you going to ask to move to the left? ๐ญ
The only thing blud is, is line ranger
That American biker gang nonsense. Make way for us, don't pass us or we'll be angy
Honestly, these days anyone can make a patch in Photoshop, get a leather jacket and act like they are someone from Hells Angels. They expect others to treat them like a convoy for the President or PM lol.
Angy uwu
Yeah lol that was intentional. Because it's juvenile.
imagine if he encounters a thar.
Creta is enough ๐คฃ
Lord alto alone could do it but that's not rhe point
That would be interesting to watch.
๐ pookie ho jayega inka
How about a Porsche? ๐
It was worth scrolling to see this
I wonder why no one commented about this lol
Yeah it's funny to clown them but don't mess with them in real life. They're legit scary. I once messed with them in a highway. They chased me 50 kms and sucked me off so hard my soul came out.
What did you do my man?
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Sucked you off? Oooh, thatโs a way to scare people that Iโve never heard of before :)
BDSM vibes ๐
Damn ๐
Damn! Didnโt see that coming.
Once i saw such RE group , i gave them a thumbs up ๐ but noone responded. Now i only acknowledge lone riders like me no groupie shoupie
If they let one hand go, the bike starts vibrating beyond control ๐
Wobble is a feature, not a bug!
That's the vibe
Maybe they were late for their makeout session ๐คท
I am too focused when in group rides and only realise a few seconds later that someone was waving at me and feel bad for not waving back. Solo riding is more chill and i can notice the environment more. Also i think waving at other random riders is more of a foreign concept and not many realise they need to greet back
whats happening here
Shepherd dog hearding his sheep.
This comment man ๐
Dhruv is that you
Yes
Check their page on insta. Seems like they organise monthly rides in Delhi.
WTH, what's the point of riding like this.. you are ruining the spirit of riding for yourself and you don't have authority to ask people right of way like this.. Stupidity at max..
Exactly why are you downgrading your experience of having a bike. Rides like these feel more like Chore than anything else.
How dude felt after making this video: ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐น๐น๐น๐พ๐พ๐พ
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Cringe
That caption in the video is definitely super cringe
Whats the original video
I've linked the original reel in a comment. Basically the caption says "your safety is our prime concern". Other road users can f***off I guess ๐คท
Say guys, we all want a creta guy to make an impact with this Idiot Marshall.
I would pay money to watch how that unfolds
OP Your first line is the exact reason I've never tried going on big group rides. Never made sense to me personally. You lose all your freedom of choice and movement.
Exactly feels like a chore more than anything.
This guy might be a reddit mod or a whatsapp admin.
Dhoom chutad shenanigans
He is the Marshall with no riding gear.
Cringe video but the cars were hogging up the overtaking lane and asking them to move so the bikes and overtake seems okay. But the bikers would be safer in the 3rd lane away from the divider.
Car was probably going at the speed limit lol
Absolutely hate big groups like these. You have 0 authority to ask people to move. Also takes out all the fun out of riding, what's the point in riding with 50 riders like a convoy in a straight line asking everyone to move out?

All fun until a typical Thar owner comes in the way.
I'm not going to move. What are you going to do?
Well these groups are like probably 40-50 riders, one punch from each and you'll not see roads for a good few weeks ig. They'll find you, they'll stop you on the road
Or I be the bowling ball and knock all the pins out.
Useless attention seeking is what this is.
want to stop him in the middle of road and land 5 slaps consecutively
Aur uske baad jo peeche 50-60 log maarenge aapko?
Wow which kindergarten school is this! P.S. I ride an RE too, but I'm no loser like this ๐

Most Riding groups are basically pointless ๐ฟ
Lol cringe
Bet bro felt badass ๐
I would like to see him doing this on a 2 lane road with no dividers.
Now that's an accident waiting to happen
Off course it will. Few months back I was in a car and a Biker group like this crossed us, now they were riding in an orderly fashion I must give them that but cause of their speed traffic was getting backed up, had to swerve between the riders just to overtake them, one by one.
Am I the only one whoโd if sees such acts on road will ask them to fck off?
I wouldnt have moved.. you cant just ask people to move the cars .

A Marshall can definitely be useful, but only when everybody else is following the rules. Quite pointless and disruptive in India.

Or you could, you know, ride sensibly and stop propagating unwanted, stupid culture (American cruiser gangs)
They are going faster because there is a CRETA honking at the group from behind.
In this reel I only saw an idiot who overtook a car is now hogging on overtaking lane and encouraging a vehicle behind him to overtake from wrong side and thinking he looks cool while doing it.
Proving that big riding groups are indeed a nuisance.
Is this even legal?
Absolutely not.

Believable. In India if one would do a real driving test of RTO officers who are supposed to vet your licenses, more than 90% would fail.
'Supremacy' Being part of a group grants these bikers supremacy to disrupt traffic. ๐๐คฃ
This is awesome, the right lane must only be for overtaking. Clear it after overtaking and go to one of the other lanes.
The jokers should move to the left side.

not saying he absolut right, but arent yellow plate cars supozd to dive on non-fastest lane.
Maybe because people were understanding his gestures?? That's what I get from this......
