    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Two motorcycles riding together

Always staggered, offset with the lead bike on the left and the second bike to the right so that the lead bike can see the second bike in their right mirror. When in the second position to the right I always look to see the lead riders face in their right mirror. I have ridden in motorcades in side by side pairs for work in tight formations of up to 16 bikes with little room between pairs .... wouldn't recommend it unless you practice as a group ... a lot and are all on the same radio frequency. Evasive action, when riding in side by side pairs, to vere right can go very bad.

Side by side in tight formation on the highway would make you a sitting duck and a statistic looking for a place to happen.
 
Agreed and why I said I wouldn't recommend it. I road doing motorcades for (police) work. We practiced a lot and it was a controlled environment. That was a few years ago, haven't road side by side since.
 
We have always rode staggered, though when pulling up to a stop light or sign, we would always pull up next to each other in order to block anyone from trying to weasel in around us, then right back to the staggered formation when moving again.
