Ride together. Ride smart.
Ride your own ride.
Everyone arriving home safely is the win.
No matter which group you ride with, always ride at a pace you are comfortable with. Never ride beyond your ability simply to keep up with another rider.
Your motorcycle must be in good working condition. Tires should be in good shape and the motorcycle must have no fluid leaks.
At a minimum, every rider must wear:
Please provide your emergency contact information to a member of the PHX Ducati leadership team before participating in the ride.
Every PHX Ducati group ride begins with a rider's meeting.
Ride rules, route information, group assignments, safety procedures and any special instructions will be reviewed before departure.
If anything is unclear, this is the time to ask your Ride Captain.
Experienced riders who enjoy getting the maximum performance from their motorcycle while maintaining safe riding practices.
Intermediate riders who enjoy a faster-paced ride without riding at the maximum pace of Group 1.
Riders who prefer a slower pace and want to enjoy Arizona's scenery while becoming comfortable with PHX Ducati group riding.
Riders travel in alternating left and right positions within the same lane rather than directly behind one another.
If the formation becomes unstaggered, move forward and fill the open position.
Maintain enough distance from the rider ahead that you have time to react safely if they suddenly slow or stop.
Before passing, make sure it is safe and legal. Check traffic, road conditions and surrounding riders.
Use your indicators so riders and drivers understand your intentions before you begin the maneuver.
Maintain safe separation from the rider you are passing. Never pass unnecessarily close.
Pass at a safe and controlled speed. Avoid excessive acceleration, aggressive maneuvers or weaving.
Reckless passing creates unnecessary danger and tension within the group.
No inside passes.
No same-lane passes.

Left arm extended outward and bent upward approximately 90 degrees with a closed fist.

Point toward the hazard with your left hand or right foot depending on its location.

Safety is everyone's responsibility.
If you feel another rider is riding in a manner that is unsafe to themselves or others, bring the matter directly to a Ride Captain or Club Officer.
Club leadership will handle the situation appropriately.
