I disagree. I have ridden in group & as road captain, both lead & shotgun. I think the road captaining is fun. Especially shotgun. The lead is very regimented & orderly. Takes discipline. Shotgun is great, keeping everyone together, occasionally roaming like a herding dog, much more freewheeling.
Anyway, there ya go, MHO

blocking traffic at intersections until everyone in the group gets through
HOG rides are not permitted to block traffic anywhere in Alaska unless there has been prior arrangements with the local law enforcement. Usually that means we have police participation in the parade.
