Default ? on position of US flag on scoot

Hello, I have now have two flags to display on my scoot: US and "Don't Thread on Me".

My question: looking at the scoot from the rear (standing behind the scoot), is the US flag displayed on the right and "Don't Thread on Me" on the left?


TIA

Awesome link. Sticky that thing!

HAving always felt patriotic and alot of times revolutionary, Every American should be taught this. I sure pushed it when I was a Scouts leader. Most people dont have a clue.
Why is it that motorcyclists have a passion for patriotism? I have no answer, but we do.

US Flag on your marching right. If you have three flags, it's in the middle and higher than any other flag.

I think the POW MIA flag can go underneath the US flag, but that's it.
