i am not surprised by this

 

I can guarantee you that the investigation probably won’t stop there. Now they’ll probably look into every company like this one in the commonwealth to see if any red flags pop up!

 

should not be only in MA, but across the country.

too many "clandestine" operations forever changing names/ownerships, to avoid capture.

 

Because it is statistically the safest formation to ride in. I personally do not like to ride in closed ranks, so I stay away from group rides, but it is the safest way for a group to go down the road, this looks intentional, if that is true it would not matter how they were dispersed, This Pickup driver looks like he was playing Harley Bowling, Too Bad, very sad for all.

 

How can that be the safest way to ride? Lead dude wipes out and this is what u get lol.

 

The idea is to stagger by one second and follow the guy in front of you by 2 seconds. It gives better visibility of the group while not riding super close.

 

Yeah i agree with riding staggered, but i originally i was talking about side by side. I see it way too often.
