"On laisse 10 mètres entre chaque moto, et si quelqu’un a un souci, il lève la main". Before leaving for a trial session of at least 40 minutes, or even an hour, the instructor gives the final safety instructions to the group of bikers he is supervising.

Brands play the game

At the High Side Ride festival, organized at the Pôle Mécanique d’Alès, two-wheel enthusiasts are in paradise. Almost all manufacturer brands are present and compete to attract visitors. "We don’do anything. It's about trying out a motorbike, not going out on the roads and doing anything. That’s why we ride in groups."

The Austrian group Pierer, present in Europe with the brands Agusta (Italy), Gas Gas (Spain), Husqvarna and KTM (Austria) exhibited all of these ranges and the new road, off-road and sports models.

Animations and shows

In addition to the possibility of carrying out tests, bikers found numerous stands around the world of motorcycles: parts, accessories… The organization is flawless, and the public came in large numbers for this festival. The drift demonstrations, long sequences of spectacular skids, won many votes.

Drivers have the opportunity to test themselves on the speed circuit, or to discover trial racing. Finally, just to get some fresh air, road books, with different distances, are available to bikers looking to discover the Cévennes roads.

A coincidence of the calendar, the Italian Moto GP grand prix in Mugello was broadcast on a giant screen, just to ensure the atmosphere. In the evening, concerts punctuate the evening.
