The only time I seen or have taken part in side by side riding is when a motorcycle club is parade riding. Usually this is done for a charity ride or club event at reduced speeds. Yes, sometimes the clubs Sergeant At Arms who rides 1st position on left will hug the center lane to ensure on comming traffic has made as much room as possible for his members. As long as he has not crossed the center line, no laws have been broken. Most normal riding is staggered formation exactly as Woodsy and slickcraft have previously noted.

GTO...You obviously have never been on a motorcycle. Leather is worn for a reason. Besides the obvious safety factor, leather is heavier and does not flap around when riding at highway speeds. A cotton shirt with a collar will beat your face up pretty good on the highway!
