Orillia Chapter 523 Patch
Shown at the top right of this page is our Orillia Chapter 523 Patch which was designed by 2 nd. Officer Pete Randle in the fall of 2009 shortly after the Chapter was formed.
The City of Orillia is commonly known as the "Twin Lake City" and the "Sun City" both which are depicted on the Patch by showing the sun rising over the Twin Lakes of Couchiching to the north and Simcoe to the south.

Group Riding
Staggered formation with the lead rider in the left tire track, subsequent riders alternating between right and left tire tracks, of the driving lane.
On secondary roads, a one second count will separate each rider, which will be a two second count to the rider immediately in front of you. On major highways where the speed will be increased, this count may be increased accordingly. Riding through towns at slower speeds, ranks will closed up to try and avoid splitting the group up. Traffic lights must be obeyed even if this splits the group.
Riders that require a larger separation than outlined above, for any reason especially for those members riding with a passenger, three wheeled , trikes or sidecar, motorcycle please ride toward the rear of the group but IN FRONT of the designated "Tail Gunner" of the day.
Right and left turns will be indicated by all riders using indicator lights and also hand signals as outlined by the MTO.
Slowing down or coming to a stop will be indicated by a hand signal as outlined by the MTO, this signal will be at the discretion of the Ride Captain.
Additional hand signals initiated by the Ride Captain will be used for riding in single file.
Pointing with the right foot or left hand to indicate an obstruction in the road such as a pot hole, debris or road kill that the rider behind you cannot see. (Pointing with your right or left foot would also be acceptable).
Also use a hand signal to the rider behind you if they have accidently left their blinker light flashing.
Designated Tail Gunners for Chapter .NOBODY WILL RIDE BEHIND THE TAILGUNNER. The tailgunner is the "Eyes" of the group and their primary function is to protect the group as a whole from traffic approaching from behind. This is no small task.
We do have several experienced Ride Captains headed up by Steve Shane. Their duty is to provide us with a safe and enjoyable ride within the limits of the law. It is important for the group to ride at a speed that keeps pace with the general traffic around them.
You may be asked at any time to fill in for either of the above positions and we ask that you respect this request by honoring all of the above.
