We study a large-scale bulk motion of thin edge-on spiral galaxies from the RFGC catalogue using a multipole decomposition of velocity field. The quadrupole and octupole components are statistically significant. The first one corresponds to the Hubble flow anisotropy, the second one leads to decrease of modulus of dipole component due to the strong dipole-octupole interaction.
