Washington DC has DENIED our permit for a no-stop ride through Washington DC. We find this regretful for the residents and businesses of that great city, and humbly offer our apologies. What could have been a one or two hour ride through will now likely be an all day event. We will be obeying all laws. We will be stopping at all stoplights, stop signs, and yielding to all pedestrians.
RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF WASHINGTON DC: On behalf of the National "2 Million Bikers to DC" Team, please accept our sincere apologies. We did the right thing and went through the proper channels to secure a no-stop permit to ride through your great city. We wanted to ride an established route, which would have taken us past the Viet Nam Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial, across the bridge into Virginia, and that's it! We would have been completely out of Washington DC, and your city would have been back to normal.
The National Team fully expected our permit to be rejected, and have already drafted a Plan-B. That Plan-B will be posted a little later today once the final details have been bolted down.
We know that California and Texas riders had kicks stands up yesterday. Many other western states have kickstand up today and throughout the weekend.
RIDERS: You are true, blue Patriots and we salute you for your participation in this event! Many of you have taken time off of work to be here. You have freely given of your time, your funds, and your bikes to ride shoulder to shoulder in this event. You have have left your families and your jobs to be here. Those of us who ride come from different clubs, chapters, and organizations. Some of us ride with family and friends and some ride alone. But on September 11th, we ride as one!! We ride to pay tribute and offer respect to those that lost their lives on that day 12 years ago, and to salute our troops engaged in the War on Terror. Riders!...we are the best of the best in America!! Our love for these people and this country is staggering, and we will make a display of Patriotism and solidarity America won't soon forget!!
Riders!...we lift you up to the Lord and pray that His hand and divine protection will ride with you all.
Rubber side down, brothers! See you Wednesday morning!!
Good luck and good riding to all. I wish I was of an age to join these events.
Ha! Fat slobs vs. the ragheads.
Careful there, high speed........MANy Veterans smong those riders, and they are not,I repeat NOT “Fat slobs”!
You owe many many people an apology!
Wish I had a Harley or Indian to join in the ride, but my constant companion, Mr Kimber 1911, would be problematic in DC. I’d like to grind some “million” muzzie/islamist filth into the roads with the tires.
Bookmarking to check back later on the event.
Thanks for the heads-up, Mags!
Go anyway
>>tell the authorities to go to hell!<<
It’s still a free country....F’em.
“F” you ... from a Vietnam Vet biker
>>Ha! Fat slobs vs. the ragheads.<<
Oh, how nice. Hide behind your keyboard and mouse while insulting some of America’s finest veterans.
You’re a POS!
WELL SAID! Welcome home, SHipmate!
Tell Obama is Syria bomb permit has been denied.
Who you calling fat, a$$hole? I’m 6’2” 192lbs and I ride a Heritage Softail Classic. My shell casings are not empty. I can stop by your mother’s house and visit you in the basement to kick your puny little a$$.
Check the bottom of my profile page. I’d be happy to show this a-hole what a “fat slob” I am
