The U.S. Flag and Several Other Flags
-
The U.S. flag should be to the driver's right if there are several other flags and should be the highest flag (though no higher than another nation's flag). Other national flags should be arranged alphabetically going left. Remaining flags should be placed in order of importance, with state flags farthest to the right (in order of admittance to the U.S.), territories, military (in order of establishment) and any other flags.
On the Right
-
The U.S. flag should always be on the right in relation to the direction of movement of the flags in a procession, not to bystanders viewing the flags on a parked bike. Even though the flags are placed on the rear of the bike, the U.S. flag is placed to the rider's right when he sits on the bike facing forward.
