I agree, get over it. I rode into Milwaukee during the 105th and their were probably thousands of us all coming into the city at the same time. Didn't see any accidents or anyone riding unsafe during the ride-in. Saw lots of people on the overpasses waving flags, waving and taking pictures of all the riders as they went buy. Most of the riders were slowing down to wave at them. They love Harley riders in Milwaukee and go out of there way not to hurt them.

johnnyiroc don't look now but there is a guy in your picture album on a bike with no helmet. Please delete that before you make yourself look bad.

I wouldnt ride with most of these foolish guys.
3 wide in a lane!

Its a poster for how not to ride in a group.
It's not a safety poster... it's a sh1tload of bikes all cruising down the road at the same time poster. Some times, advertisers use some creative license in order to get the look & feel they are shooting for. If the bikes were all properly spaced & staggered, you couldn't fit as many into the picture.

I suspect anyone who looks to advertising as a means of learning the proper way to do things, probably has other problems to deal with.

That looks like Saturday afternoon traffic in LA. Perfectly normal motorcycle formation. I dont see anything wrong with it.
