Run Leader chosen at the beginning of a ride by the members or the president has complete discretion and authority in general and should be afforded full respect, stamina, and familiarity with area.
Other guest non Moose Rider motorcyclists may participate in the ride, at the discretion of the President.
 

When breakdown or other problem occurs in which a rider drops out, only the last rider in line and any support vehicles will drop back to assist. Formation will continue on to  destination or rest area, gas and food stop. In event formation makes a turn, new last rider drops out to wait; to indicate direction of turn to those who broke down. This enables pack to continue on leaving a trail for those catching up to follow. Only under EXTREME circumstances should entire formation pull off on shoulder of road, as this only causes panic, confusion and danger.
 

Lane choice on multi-lane highways:

The Run Leader has full discretion to judge the applicable traffic conditions, and his placement decisions should be followed until and if a new Leader is chosen.

Realizing that in-coming traffic can be deadly to us, the far right lane should be avoided in most cases, unless incoming traffic is light, or the group will be exiting themselves soon, and it is actually safer to be positioned for the exit.

As a general rule, in a choice between right lane, middle lane, or one or more left fast lanes, the middle is preferable.

If the only choice is between a right and left lane, the right lane is preferable if, by maintaining the speed limit, we are still an impediment to faster traffic. The left lane, however, would be preferable as per 4b, if incoming traffic is dangerous, we do not need to exit soon, or if we are moving faster than most other traffic. After all, speed demons can always pass us on the right!

Staggered formation is preferred to side-by-side riding, to allow for a slot to move into in the event of sudden slowing. Individual riders should determine which side of lane to be positioned in by the rider ahead of him regardless of whether that particular rider is positioned properly or not. Riders should feel free to go single file if necessary on sharp turns, poor road conditions, or if poor visibility exists. No riders should remove themselves from formation except in the event of breakdown or emergency.  Riders should always check with the rider ahead of them to make sure they are on the right side of the staggered formation. When the person in front of you corrects his position, you should promptly correct yours.
 

Lane changes should ideally be accomplished as follows: Leader riding in front signals; Each rider in order repeats signal down line to last rider. Last Rider then makes lane change when it is safe to do so, blocking off the lane for the safety of those in front; Leader should only change lanes upon seeing lane secured, after remainder of group in order back to front has already changed lanes behind him.
 

It is recognized, however, that in emergency and stressful situations where time is of the essence, such as debris in the road; incoming traffic; about to miss our exit, etc. the lane change must be accomplished more quickly. The basic rule then is that each rider must PERSONALLY look over HIS shoulder BEFORE CHANGING POSITION, and not blindly follow others.
