... At a rally. It could be me. :-))

Donald Trump is planning a Memorial Day weekend visit with one of his favorite constituencies: bikers.
As motorcyclists stream into the nation’s capital for Rolling Thunder, their largest annual gathering, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is planning an appearance on Sunday, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said.
“I am doing it in honor of the great bikers who have been totally supportive of my campaign and now I want to be supportive of them,” Trump said in a statement to Bloomberg Politics. “I look forward to it!”
The bike rally, called the “First Amendment Demonstration Run,” begins at noon Eastern time on Sunday, starting at the North Pentagon parking lot and circling the National Mall.
At Trump rallies, motorcycle enthusiasts frequently line the entrances to show their support as protesters do the opposite just steps away. A central part of his appeal to them: a shared belief that self-interested politicians are degrading the military, ignoring veterans and running “a sad government,” as a letter about this weekend’s ride published in December by Rolling Thunder organizers said.
“We are fighting wars and seeking freedom for countries whose people hate us and want to destroy our way of live [sic],” the letter said. “Remember the history of WWII, the last war we fought to really win!”
The week before the New York primary, which Trump easily won, dozens of bikers organized a meet-up in upstate New York to support him. In January, he opened his remarks in Myrtle Beach by thanking a dozen or so motorcycle riders who stood outside cheering for him.

No wonder Beck was auditioning to be Zuckerberg’s manservant at that “conservative” confab.
Makes sense to me.
USSS on Harleys
Thought that too but realized they wouldn’t have hands available to grab guns if needed. Probably morercycle police to surround him
I looked at the website. There are several events beside the parade scheduled for the day.
Route is behind the POST OFFICE. but may be visible from the observation deck ( iirc in the tower) Don’t know what is to the side and back of PO but they will pass within a half block of it. If it is parking or a field bleachers could be set up!
Can you get a Google birds eye view of the area. THe PO is on opposite side of block from the route. Want to see what is in the space In between
Orange County Choppers made Trump a gold Chopper in 2012, I think.
I will see if I can find it for you.
That is REALLY a golden chopper!
They would vbe in regret while recovering in the hospital
By all means please do! We ride with bikers not bikes
Yup!
