All about how to display flags on motorcycles

Hey Phil.. In doing some research (on a different topic) I came across this on an Internet hunt.. I had not seen anyone specifically mention proper usage on a motorcycle prior to this .

While some would dispute that the source is not absolute (nowhere in black & white public law) I would argue that most of those regulations are written somewhat loosely (to be kind to politico’s, difficult to appease all parties) and are subject to interpretation.

This particular website Flag Rules and regulations seems to do an exceptional job of elucidation the “public law” Take a peek, some pretty interesting stuff there..

On my motorcycle, I have two flags, the US flag and a POW/MIA flag. How should they be positioned? The US flag should always be on its right, as shown in this picture.

The POW/MIA or other flag flies on its left, which is the viewer's right, facing the motorcycle.
