Flag Etiquette
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
My wife gave me a set of flags for my bike for Christmas, the American flag, and the POW/MIA flag, They have chrome poles so I intend to fly them pretty much all the time, they can be flown at speed not just parade speed.
My question, when I look at the bike from behind, they will be mounted on either side of the tour pak, what side will each flag be on? Will the American Flag be on the right as I look at the bike from behind? Thanks for your help!

US Flag Only:
If only the US Flag is on your bike, it should either be at the center, or to its "marching right" - on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective when facing forward.
US Flag And One Other Flag Of Any Type:
If the US Flag is on your bike with another, it should be to its "marching right" - on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective. If the other flag is that of another nation, it should be the same size and at the same height of the US Flag - NO flag should ever be displayed higher than the US Flag.

All rules are flexible except the one that says no flag shall fly above the American flag. Therefore, the American flag must be flown on the right (throttle) side of the bike so that when on the side stand the MIA flag is below the American flag.
