Yesterday, thousands of bikers descended upon Washington, D.C., for the annual Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Rally. The rally is an annual demonstration that was started in 1987 to bring attention to the plight of prisoners of war and to those service people missing in action. Among the riders? Sarah Palin. Decked out in a black jacket, big shades, and a Harley-Davidson helmet the Mama Grizzly transformed herself into a Motorcyle Mama for the day to join them in the cause.
Palin was joined at the rally by her husband Todd (forever riding the metaphorical sidecar) and her two daughters, Bristol and Piper. She rode on the back of one motorcyle, Bristol rode on the back of another, and Todd drove his own bike with Piper on the back.
That's right. Sarah Palin let her 10-year-old daughter Piper Palin on a motorcycle.
Are you kidding me?
Motorcycles can be fun and exhilarating to ride -- I've done it. But they can also be dangerous and are known for their ability to kill and maim, even the most skilled riders. A motorcycle is no place for a 10-year-old. It makes no difference that Piper was wearing a helmet, that the bike may have been "going slow," and that she wasn't the one driving it. She's way too young to be introduced to such a dangerous activity.
Once again Sarah Palin put her own PR in front of her her children's needs and safety. But that's not so surprising. After all, don't mama grizzlies eat their young?
Do you think kids should go on motorcyles?

In a former life, Suzanne Murray was a lawyer, a journalist, and a green lifestyle guru. She's launched several web sites, and has worked at the Washington Post Company, the New York Observer, and myriad women's magazines. In her current life, she's raising 8 chickens and one adventurous three-year-old.
Hey, 2ndDivisionVet, maybe Ms. Suzanne Moron would prefer that Piper ride a bicycle. Maybe like this: http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201105/video-bmx-triple-backflip-makes-roller-coasters-look-lame
“Will bet you my house the author supports moms aborting babies.”
Bingo! One of her tweets links to PP:

Nah, I think Ms. Murray would’ve preferred for Piper and her siblings (especially that “useless eater, brain dead Trig”) to be aborted, from the sound of it. The Nazis may change their garb, but they’re easy to spot once you read what’s going on in the heads.
is this witch effing kidding? 10 year olds race all kinds of motorized vehicles, and she was with her dad. These nanny state libtards need to be rounded up, sterilized, and placed under commune arrest. The libtards around here would rather keep their kids off their hogs so they can go driving in their leather costumes and pretend to be bad-ass on the weekends. Mommy, can you watch my children this weekend so I can go play biker?
Yep, my dad taught me to drive the tractor when I was the ripe old age of seven! I managed to keep it straight in the rows and turn at the end nicely.
Farm kids are around all kinds of dangerous machinery, and are carefully taught the dangers of each piece, what can happen if you get in the wrong spot, etc.
NYS won’t even allow “youts” under 18 to operate riding lawn mowers, or weed-whackers now!
Then we all complain when they are unprepared for the world of work, right?
Well, apparently, she's still a dumbass and most likely will die a dumbass.
Absolute proof that Sarah terrifies the dip sticks.
The sad truth is, PIPER is more “manly” than libtards.
Should be good for them...They might start to think a lil bit on their own now that they've seen the 1st beam of light...... Make no mistake...They FEAR her!!!
An line by Arthur C. Doyle from "The Abbey Grange" comes to mind. He "rings true every time."
My stars, how I do love good MEN.
My thoughts exactly....even a dumb rat, at some point, will realized that they are being lead and lied to
How adventurous can the kid be with a mom like this?
She probably has a leash on him/her.
Good grief, i was riding a small motorcycle at 10 years old...without a helmet!

rent free. Palin lives rent free 24/7/365 in their freaking heads...
Willow wasn't there...politico got it wrong. The bike owner was a family friend.
Another one that's got me giggling out loud!
I think they were going all of 25 MPH most of the time.
Care to guess which one of those three decodes into "bad driver?"
