The Side-by-Side riding formation

Whereas, the stagger formation is preferable in situations where there is limited road surface, such as country roads with narrow lanes, roads with no shoulder, or in the tight winding turns of many of Colorado's mountains.

The side-by-side formation (or parade) is used by many Harley-Davidson riders when riding in a group. The same spacing applies as in the stagger formation with each rider 2 seconds behind the motorcycle directly in front of him/her.

Again, it is important to maintain your lane and not shift from right to left side and visa-versa. If a gap in the formation should develop, riders should motor straight ahead in their lanes to fill the gap.
