Quick Do's & Don'ts
DOs
• Saffron Always on Top: Double-check orientation before setting off.
• Position of Honour: Always mount it on the right side of the handlebar/mast, higher than or equal to any club banner.
• Keep It Secure: Use strong fabric (3:2 ratio) tightly fixed so high wind speeds won't tear or detach it.
• Keep It Clean: Dismount and store it neatly if you stop or if conditions get muddy/dusty.

DONTs
• DO NOT Drape: Never drape the flag over the tank, mudguards, visor, or seat (strictly illegal).
• DO NOT Touch the Ground/Bike Parts: Ensure it never touches the road, footpegs, or wheels.
• DO NOT Wear as Attire: Never tie it as a cape or bandanna (small chest lapel pins are fine).
• DO NOT Fly Damaged Flags: If wind frays or tears the flag, pull over immediately and pack it away respectfully.
• DO NOT Use Plastic Flags: They tear easily and cause highway littering.

Marshal Tip: Do a 2-minute "Flag Check" at the assembly point before wheels-up to fix inverted or loose flags.

See you all there!
