| IMOC RIDE RULES (please read)
IMOC is an
organisation whose members join together for rides to nominated venues and for
other social occasions. Rides are organised
by members who nominate the destination and regrouping stages along the way,
but otherwise have no influence on the way that riders behave on the road. The following rules are intended to assist in
promoting the safety and enjoyment of riders, pillions and other ride
participants. 1. Ride participants shall
participate as individuals responsible for their own safety and shall take into
account the safety of other participants and road users. There is no element of competition in the
rides. 2. Ride participants are responsible
for ensuring that their motorcycles are in safe and legal condition, the
minimum being to Warrant of Fitness standards. 3. All ride participants must wear a
4. At the beginning of each ride the
ride organiser shall brief participants on the intended route and destination as
well as any regrouping locations or other stops. Ride participants who are unfamiliar with the
route should follow another rider who knows the way and who travels at a
comfortable pace. 5. Ride participants are expected to
comply with all road rules and to ride at a speed and in a way that is suitable
for the road conditions and comfortable for them. 6. Ride participants are expected to
provide assistance to other participants where required and in particular must
go to the aid of anyone suffering a mishap. 7. Riders who travel as a group should
adopt a staggered riding formation such that there is an acceptable following road
distance to the rider immediately in front. An acceptable following distance is
indicated by the distance a motorcycle travels in two seconds under dry
conditions and longer under wet conditions or on unsealed surfaces. 8. Any rides organised by IMOC which
involve participation in third party managed or promoted track days or other third
party managed or promoted events are subject to the requirements of the third party
organiser or promoter. Riders in such
events must comply with all third party requirements and shall participate
entirely at their own risk. 9. Neither IMOC nor any ride
organiser is responsible for the safety of any ride participant or for any loss,
damage or injury (whether to property or persons) suffered during any ride. All ride participants participate at their own
risk and indemnify IMOC and ride organisers from and against any loss, damage
or injury suffered on or as a result of participating in any IMOC ride. |
