I don't have a motorcycle. We sold ours many years ago and my husband can't go on missions with me since he drives a tractor-trailer anyway. I'm a "cage-rider." Yep, I can take the car or the truck - not a bad thing in case a bike rider should happen to break down or something anyway.

If anyone can help me find the local chapter for my area (south central FL around Sebring), I will be there, rain, shine, snow, hurricanes, whatever. In a freaking SUV for right now. Once the inheritance clears the courts, THEN on a bike. I will not allow a vet's passing to marred by these, uhm, well, unprintable here, people.
If/when my grandfather (rtd WWII vet) passes, and these protesters show up, may the Gods have mercy on what is left of their souls because their asses will belong to me.

When you go to the site you'll see how it works. My state captain is fantastic and keeps the state members up on everything by E-mail as well. Very well organized folks.

Remember, though, our goal is not to protest or even bother with the protesters, but to honor the fallen heroes, our soldiers. And if shielding the family and friends needs to be done, then we do. But it's about support and respect, not counter-protesting. PGR attends the funerals whether the WBC shows or not, if invited by the family.

However, the WBC irks all of us because they're just so terribly disrespectful, hateful, obnoxious and, even worse, using the name of God to do it with.

I'm not much of motorcycle rider, but i wish all of you the best when dealing with Phelps. I don't agree a lot with the war, but these are out brothers and sisters dieing, and can't understand how anyone could be doing the things that Phelp's church is doing.

I have attended several funerals for our fallen, have not yet run into the Riders, but have run into the Phelps groups. When I do, if you will let me stand with you without a MC, I will do so proudly.

Thank you

I'd be right proud to have you stand alongside me, whether you have a bike or not. It's not about us....

I wonder if they let Beemer riders participate? If they do, count me in.

Oh, TELL ME that you're running an old Slash-2 Bimmer! But if not, you can still run alongside my straight-piper....

I have owned a lot of Beemers over the years but never a /2. Last year I sold a 60th anniversary edition R100RT because (at the time having lost my job) I couldn't justify 3 motorcycles to my wife :)

Now my only Beemer is a K75C in perfect stock condition that I commute on. I also have a Yamaha RZ350 2-stroke street bike that I am having my midlife crisis on. Maybe if/when I ever retire and have more time I will think about an old Beemer again. I've been to quite a few rallies and drooled on the /2 restorations.

Probably easier than dealing with three wives and one motorcycle, though.

That probably cost them a couple of points on the judging for their paint jobs. Hope you missed the tank pinstriping!

Three wives and one motorcycle...that is a scary thought.

A lot of the restored old bikes were found in a barn or even in a field and just had to be restored...they were frozen up rust buckets. I don't take off any points for a great restoration. Of course, a person lucky enough to own a really old bike that still looks like original new has a lot of bragging rights.

Thanks. I've actually joined since I left that post.

Good on ya. I would be much happier if it were not necessary, but it still is.

This is a great idea, but what if I want to ride a motorcycle with some HP?

Good Morning,
I am SliderBob, the Maryland State Captain of the Patriot Guard Riders. I know that you are having fun on the forum but I wanted to let you know something. It is not important what you ride, it is that you ride. All bikes are welcome, no mater the make. I ride an '85 Yamaha FJ 1100. You can also cage it if you don't ride. We are there to honor a fallen American Hero. It ain't a bike show.
