From the above web site:
On my motorcycle, I have two flags, the US flag and a POW/MIA flag. How should they be positioned?
[/align]The US flag should always be on its right, as shown in this picture. The POW/MIA or other flag flies on its left, which is the viewer's right, facing the motorcycle.[/align]

This is a confusing one, there are two rules about this in the Flag Code. The first says that when the flag is flown on a motor vehicle isis to be clamped or attached to the right fender, and I think that means the front fender, I don't think I have ever seen a flag flown from the rear of a car or truck in an official ceremony.
The second and I think the most important is this one "That the flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line."
The "flag's own right" means that it is on the left as you look at it.
I think that when a POW/MIA Flag and the US Flag are flown togehter on the back of a motorcyle, the US Flag belongs on the left as you look at it from the rear.

USflag it should be on the rider's right. that is the same position it is used in other ceremonies (stages, etc.). in your case if you are flying both flags on the rear of a bike, the US is on the right side of the bike, and the other to the left.
Other than paying $60 bucks at HD for a clamp on flag holder, where did you guys find yours and what kinds do you have?

RE: Feeling Patriotic
I have a great story about the 4th of July. I am a soldier serving in Afghanistan. On 30 Jun 2007 I left Afghanistan for R & R. I arrived home late on 2 July. On 4 July, my daughter was born at 10:45am in Womack Army Hospital on Ft. Bragg. That evening at 9:30pm, my wife and I watched the fireworks from her hospital room and quietly celebrated the birth of our daughter. Man, what a great day that was. I spent the next fifteen days relaxing at home and enjoying the company of my wife and brand new daughter. What a great day for a birthday. Every year, we will all be off to celebrate the Nations birthday as well as my daughter's. Couldn't have asked for a better 4th of July.
