One life•One road•Endless stories

We are not the
biggest clubin the Terai.

We would rather be the one that gets everybody home. Motor Masters rides out of Bahraich on discipline, not on numbers — briefed formation, a sweep rider at the back, and a pace set by whoever is slowest that day. If that sounds like your kind of riding, we would like to meet you.

How we ride

Safety is not a rule
we added later

It is the reason the club exists. Anybody can gather riders for a photo. Keeping a group moving across eight hundred kilometres of highway without a single incident takes a system, and this is ours.

Briefing before every ride

Route, fuel stops, break points and hand signals are covered at flag off. Nobody rolls out without hearing it, including riders who have done the route before.

Lead and sweep

A lead rider sets the pace. A sweep rider rides last and carries the tool kit. If you are between them, you are accounted for. Nobody overtakes the lead.

Staggered formation

Two offset columns with a fixed gap. It gives every rider a second of reaction room and a clear escape line, and it keeps the group short enough to stay together.

We ride to the slowest rider

The pace of the group is the pace of whoever is slowest that day, not the fastest. If you need the road to yourself, this is not the club for you.

Marshals and medical kit

Every long ride carries marshal support and a basic medical kit. Riders trained in first aid are identified at the briefing so everyone knows who to call for.

We stop for our own

Breakdown, puncture or fall, the group stops and regroups. No rider is left on a highway alone, and no rider is left behind to catch up.

Non-negotiables

These are checked at flag off, every single ride. There is no version of this where we make an exception because someone travelled a long way to be there.

  • ISI or DOT helmet. Every rider, pillion included.
  • Valid licence, insurance and PUC on you.
  • No racing, no stunts, no overtaking the lead.
  • No alcohol on riding days, before or during.
  • Headlight on, indicators used, mirrors set.
  • Water and a basic puncture kit on the motorcycle.

Rider's reference

The parts worth reading the night before a ride, not the morning of one.

Hand signalsTwelve signals every rider on our formation uses

Slow down

Left arm out and angled down, palm to the road, patted downward.

Stop

Left arm out, forearm straight down, palm facing back.

Left turn

Left arm straight out from the shoulder, held until the turn.

Right turn

Left arm out, forearm up at the elbow, fist closed.

Hazard on the left

Left arm angled down, finger pointing at the pothole, gravel or oil.

Hazard on the right

Right foot swung out. Both hands stay on the bars.

Single file

Left arm straight up, one finger raised. Form one line.

Staggered formation

Left arm up, two fingers raised. Back into two offset columns.

Fuel stop

Left hand pointing down at the tank.

Comfort stop

Left hand raised toward the helmet, thumb out. Tea, food or toilet.

Pull over ahead

Left arm up, palm forward, then swung out to the roadside.

Check your indicator

Left hand out, fingers opening and closing. Yours is still blinking.

This is how you will see them — from directly behind the rider ahead of you. The signalling arm is marked in orange. Signals are repeated down the line: when you take one, pass it back. Every one of these is covered again at the briefing before we roll out.

Pre-ride checklistTwenty checks — tap to tick them off

The motorcycle — night before, not at flag off

On you

Carried by the group

Riding the formationWhere to sit, and how much room to leave
LEADSWEEP2 secsame track1 sec diagonal

Two columns, offset

Riders alternate between the left and right of the lane. You are never directly behind the motorcycle in front of you, which means you always have somewhere to go if they brake hard or hit something you cannot see.

Two seconds and one second

Leave two seconds to the rider in your own track, and about one second to the rider diagonally ahead. Count it off a fixed object on the road. Closer than that and you are riding on their reactions instead of your own.

Hold your position

Stay in the track you were given at the briefing. Swapping sides mid-ride is how gaps collapse and how riders end up side by side in one lane. If you need to drop back, signal and drop back — the sweep rider will find you.

Single file when it narrows

Bridges, roadworks, hill roads and heavy traffic mean one line. Watch for the signal and pass it back. On the Tanakpur hill sections and the Chandraprabha ghats we ride single file by default.

When something goes wrongWhat to do, and who to call

A rider goes down

The rider behind them stops and puts their motorcycle between the fallen rider and traffic, hazards on. Do not move anyone with a head, neck or back complaint — wait for the ambulance. Someone rides ahead to stop the group; someone else walks back up the road to warn traffic.

A breakdown

Get the motorcycle fully off the carriageway before anyone starts looking at it. The sweep rider carries the tool roll and stays. The rest of the group waits at the next safe stop, not on the shoulder.

You are separated from the group

Do not chase. Ride your own pace to the next fuel stop on the briefed route and message the group. Somebody will come back for you. Every briefing names the stops for exactly this reason.

A medical problem on the road

Call it early. Heat, dehydration and fatigue put more riders down on long summer rides than bad cornering does. Tell the marshal you need to stop before it becomes an incident.

Our rides

Short rides first.
Expeditions after.

Our expeditions run three days and cross several hundred kilometres, so we do not put a rider on one cold. Local day rides come first, and they are announced in the club WhatsApp group.

Start here

Short local rides — open to applicants

Day rides around BahraichShort rides go out around the district on Sundays and are announced in the club WhatsApp group with the meeting point and time. This is where we meet new riders, and where you find out how we brief, hold formation and call a stop before committing to three days on the road.

Three short rides before an expedition This is not a test of skill and it is not a queue. Three rides is roughly how long it takes for us to learn how you behave in a formation, and for you to learn how we call a stop, hold a gap and look after the rider behind you. A club gets strong in that order, not the other way round.

Expeditions

Three days and up — after three short rides
Next up — dates coming soon

Lohaghat
Expedition

Dates to be announced · 3 days, 2 nights

Two days of Terai highway either side of a day in the Kumaon hills. Lohaghat sits at around seventeen hundred metres, and the last sixty kilometres each way are hill road with blind curves and narrow shoulders, so that stretch is ridden single file at marshal pace. Evenings turn cold even outside winter, so pack a warm layer.

Joining the club

Three steps,
then you ride

There is no joining fee. There is a form, because we would rather know who is turning up than be surprised at flag off.

1

Fill the MMRC form

Your motorcycle, your town, your riding experience and your number. Six short checkpoints, about three minutes. We read every one and reply on WhatsApp.

2

Come for a short ride

Join the WhatsApp group and pick up the next Sunday day ride. You ride behind the sweep rider for the first one, so you pick up the formation and the hand signals without pressure.

3

Three rides, then the expeditions

After three short rides you get the club patch and a place on the expeditions — Lohaghat, Munsiari and the ones after — plus the club tool kit and our mechanic contacts across the district.

Ride with us

Come and meet
the club

Fill the form, join the group, and we will tell you about the next Sunday ride. Bring a helmet you trust, a full tank and a bit of patience for the briefing.
