Default Best flags

Just wondering if anyone has some grand insight on flags. I just got a 2nd flag pole and want to put a pow/mia flag on it to go with my American flag, but I'm not impressed by the flags I'm seeing on eBay.

Nylon flags last longer and look better IMO.

I got my flag from Eastern Performance Cycles - Gambrills MD. I bought on Ebay for about $15 and am very pleased with the quality of the flag and chrome pole - much better than the HD flag and plastic pole.

That is the one I just got and I like the look of the flag pole itself, but the flag just looks cheap...

Does Eastern have a web site.

I bought a replacement flag from the stealer for about $14.
Good quality.

They're one of the sponsors on this board, and also seem to be a well respected eBay vendor.

www.thepropad.com has the most durable POW MIA and USA flags to fly on bikes, I've had mine on for almost a year and they still look almost brand new!! And they have great mounting systems also...

A bit off thread, BUT......is there anything more upsetting than seeing USA flags that are made in China? That is one item that should not be allowed to be mass produced in any other country but the US. Will now return this thread to its rightful owner and thoughts. Thanks
