Chapter moderataor is chosen based on the feedback from the chapter members and a joint decision by the ERC Core Member team(consisting of founders and other Chapter mods and ex Mods)

We promote riding and brotherhood, however we need to respect the integrity and decisions of our own community. Hence multi-club membership will not be entertained if you are an ERC member. This will be strictly followed as we want you to concentrate at one place and make the place better and perfect. This will be treated with utmost sensitivity and we expect members to be true in this at the time of joining.

If a member is found to violate rules prescribed here, he/she will be served a warning and repeated occurance of the same event will lead to termination from the group.

We believe in core riding and safety is the utmost concern Safety Gears (Mandatory checklist without which you cannot ride with us) Riding Jackets or Strong leather jacket(strong enough to protect from scratches on body) High ankle boots Protective gloves Riding pants or Strong jeans Knee guard (if not wearing riding pants) Elbow guard (If not wearing a riding jacket) Formation A disciplined riding group should always follow a proper formation on road. The ride formation are decided by the ride captains, marshalls and sweep. You are requested to follow this at all times and not break it. Breaking formations causes a chain reaction and will cause issues for fellow riders as well.

Ride Categories Short Miles Minimum 200kms one way(Will depend on voting). Extra miles 200 - 500 kms one way. Ultra Long miles More than 500kms one way. Adventure Miles Dirt track, offroading events includes multi day adventure trips(min 10 days and 1000kms round trip) Relaxing miles More than 100kms one way mainly meant for overnight fun. Family and party time Family Day The day where you can bring family members into the event. Once a year Yearly Bash ERC pan India Event for family and other region folks. Once a Year Community Service This will be as per suggestions from members. Being a responsible biking club, we should give back to the society

It is a biking club and of course, we will not entertain any other mode of transport on official rides apart from Royal Enfield. Of course there are cases where multiple families wants to join us for the particular ride. In such cases, families (wife and children) are expected to go separate in a hired van and the our ERC member rides. Note: The hired transport should not be part of the formation.

Riders are expected to know their machines very well. Hence there will be no scope for uinclusion of a backup vehicle on rides. Ofcourse all brothers are there to help in case of an unfortunate breakdown. We will try to repair with our skills on the road and if indeed there is a need for towing the vehicle to the nearest service station, then all ride participants will do the same. We will make sure that we will not leave any of our brother behind.

Pillions are not allowed for rides more than 250 kms one way. For rides less than this distance, the riders in the team should give consent for the same.

Following are the list of official club merchandise. The design will be defined by the core team and passed on the the regional coordinators for printing and distribution. Stickers T shirts Leather vests -- Limited to current and Ex Moderators and Founders Jeans Vest -- Restricted to Tenured members in club and decided by Founders Hoodies Thigh bags Waist pouches Badges Patches Flags -- Restricted to the ones chosen by Moderator and founder squad Caps Wrist Bands All merchandise are ordered in sets and usually a mix bag of a variety of items. The content of the set is decided mutually by Chapter mods and Founders.

Merchandise order and distribution is a job of chapter moderator and you can coordinate with them and put forward your suggestion and they can work on the feasibility and get back. There can be event/chapter specific merchandise with ERC logo printed. But those have to be sent to Core team for consent and once consent is obtained, respective chapter moderators can order and distribute

We believe that the brotherhood should be spread across the country and if you feel you have the potential to spread it across in your region, please write to us at enfieldriderscommunity@gmail.com and we will take it forward.

Watsapp group is created to pass on run time information to the team. However, since writing does not have emotions documented very well, we expect the team to be very precise in their communication in the group. Members are expected to follow few principles as follows: Do not engage in conflicts in watsapp. Contact chapter mod in person during conflict Do not post any thing apart from rides, bikes, route planning and SOS in the chapter group. No forwards of any sort. No religion, political, adultery jokes/chats/indications or forwards in the main group. Conversations on a lighter note is acceptable. No personal selfie/outing pic posting.

However this is mandatory that the Ride Host and Moderators agree to one common concensus ammicably. There should not be any disagreements between them.

All Mega/Mini Adventures should be posted at least 90 days prior to the start of the ride. Note: This is applicable to posting the ride with a tentative plan at this time. The final plan(including the dates) is subject to refinement in due course of time and should be based on discussion and agreement with moderators and participating members.

ERC is a non profit riding club. We are a cluster of passionate riders. When a member signs up for the Mega/Mini Adventure, following things should be strictly understood. 1. ERC organizes the rides only. 2. ERC in no means sponsors any rides. 3. ERC in no means forces any riders to join a particular ride. 4. ERC in no means is responsible for any mishap(god forbids) of any nature happening during/after the ride. No member/position holders of ERC should be held accountable for this. It is member's voluntary participation and he/she owns the complete responsibility on this. 5. ERC does not encourage members hiding ride information/ride plan with family. 6. ERC trusts the health information disclosed by members prior to ride. If false information is provided at that time, and it leads to any untoward condition during/after the ride, ERC should not be held accountable. ERC is herein referred to all members/position holders of ERC in any region.
