It was really hard to say how many bikers were there. I was one guy roaming between two spots. I’ll say “thousands” but I could be way off by tens of thousands. No where near 2 million unless there was a huge pack I missed entirely.
There were a lot that stayed on the Beltway and never came in to the city. Too many.
Anymore in Washington it's only a figure of speech ... only questioned if the liberal media doesn't agree with your politics. The Park Service and local DC police don't comment on numbers ... it's a no win situation.
