[VINMAN]

The passing issue is not just a respect thing, its mostly about safety. ( although a lot of Dbags take it to the next level.) Most 1% clubs ride in a tight "motorman" formation, that is 2x2 side by side. Pretty much a foot apart, which leads little room for error. One slip up by a guy in the front can bring the whole group down.

The guy in the back is the tailgunner or sometimes road captain. Even with a outlaw MC most of the time they will give you the go ahead to pass when you let them know your intention.

Like Higgins, I have a lot of experience with this stuff. I ride with a traditional MC ( non 1%ers) Firefighters and military club. There is a shyteload of protocol BS in the club world that the average rider is clueless about.
