During a group ride, when is it acceptable to overtake another motorcycle?

Overtaking another motorcycle during a group ride should only be done when it’s safe. Safety is the most crucial factor to consider in any riding situation, particularly in a group setting where the dynamics can change quickly. This encompasses not only the ability to carry out a maneuver effectively but also ensuring that other riders are aware, the road conditions allow it, and there’s sufficient space to complete the pass without endangering yourself or your fellow riders.

Overtaking recklessly or without regard for your surroundings can lead to accidents, potentially putting both you and other riders at risk. It's essential to communicate with your group and ensure that everyone is secure and aware of your intentions before executing such maneuvers, highlighting the importance of collective safety as a priority.
