Ive been noticing a lot where two motorcyclists(sp?) will be riding side by side in the same lane at like 60 to 70 miles an hour. How the heck do you do that without crashing into each other? I'm just really curious.Thanks
I believe they have electronic spacers installed. :shrug:

Some people do this. But the majority ride in staggered positions. It looks like they're riding side by side but they aren't.

Lavendar, I don't think that's a dumb question. To me it's like two cars zipping up the highway, sharing a lane at 70 mph.

These guys I saw the other day, there were 6 of them and they were definitely riding side-by-side, three rows of two, real tight formation like they want to be Blue Angels when they grow up or something.

You only do it with people you know very well and trust a lot. :lol:

Most groups ride in a stagered formation. One one the left then one on the right. You're supposed to maintain a 2 sec interval behind the rider directly in front of you and 1 sec behind the one diagonally in front of you.

Yeah, I've seen it too. The two types I see do this most often are young sportbike guys in full mating colors, and the old school bikers.
