Rules
Riding with The ADV Crew means riding with discipline, respect, and responsibility. These aren't suggestions — they're the code we live by on every ride.

The Do's
- 01
Ride with respect — for the road, the crew, and the locals.
- 02
Always wear proper riding gear: helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots. No exceptions.
- 03
Keep your bike in ride-ready condition before every trip — brakes, tyres, chain, lights.
- 04
Carry a basic tool kit, first-aid kit, and emergency supplies on every ride.
- 05
Follow the group formation and ride captain's instructions at all times.
- 06
Look out for the rider behind you. If they stop, you stop.
- 07
Communicate — use hand signals, intercoms, or stop if you need to relay a message.
- 08
Fuel up when the captain says to. Don't gamble on empty.
- 09
Respect the pace of the slowest rider. We ride as one, we arrive as one.
- 10
Document and share the journey — photos, videos, stories. That's how the crew grows.
- 11
Be on time at every checkpoint. Delays cost the entire crew.
- 12
Help fellow riders with breakdowns, flat tyres, or anything that stops them mid-ride.
- 13
Stay hydrated, eat well, and know your limits — especially at altitude.
- 14
Leave every campsite, trail, and stop cleaner than you found it.
- 15
Carry valid documents: licence, registration, insurance, and permits where required.
The Don'ts
- 01
Don't ride under the influence. Zero tolerance — no alcohol or substances before or during rides.
- 02
Don't overtake within the group without signalling or without the captain's call.
- 03
Don't race on public roads. Save the speed for the track.
- 04
Don't ride beyond your skill level to impress anyone. There's no ego on the road.
- 05
Don't litter. Carry your trash out — the mountains don't need it.
- 06
Don't skip the pre-ride briefing. Every ride has a plan, and you need to know it.
- 07
Don't ignore a fellow rider's distress signal. If someone flags, the crew stops.
- 08
Don't modify your exhaust to illegal noise levels. Respect the communities we ride through.
- 09
Don't ride without informing an emergency contact of your route and expected return.
- 10
Don't disrespect local culture, traditions, or restricted zones.
- 11
Don't tailgate. Maintain safe following distance at all times.
- 12
Don't use your phone while riding. Pull over if it's urgent.
- 13
Don't break formation on highways or mountain passes without reason.
- 14
Don't leave the group without informing the ride captain.
- 15
Don't blame the road. Adapt, adjust, and ride smarter.
