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!!
Who’s to say they can’t just happen to ride through DC that day?
I think they changed their name to a couple of dozen muslim march...
Make sure you have recording devices with you (cameras, video recorders, audio recorders, etc.) They might come in handy when the Obamastaffel goes after you.
You don’t need no stinkin’ permit! Do it anyway. Are they gonna arrest a million motorcycle riders???
FRiends, you have three days to stock upon the necessary supply of popcorn you will need to see yourself thru this event...make sure you hit the stores before the shelves are cleaned out.
I have a sneaking suspicion that is 'Plan B'.
It is for a counterprotest to a million Muslim march that is slated to occur the same day.
That day would be 9/11. Who is being “in your face?”
So, fill up the bulk tanks on your run trucks, brothers, and be ready to slake the thirst of some fine iron if anyone should run a mite dry.
There is always a workaround. We're talking bikers, here.
Definitely plan B: “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.”
Sometimes it’s better/easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Loud pipes saves lives. Everybody run straight pipes for the day. Send the Mohammedans home with their ears bleeding.
There is something particularly PUNNY and poetic justice, about a bunch of Muslims meeting up with a bunch of bikers riding “hogs” LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope at an appointed hour once the city has been filled they all stop and rev their engines at the same time, maybe shake some plaster off the walls of the poser’s house.
If there is any justice left in American, then DC just bought themselves a 3 million biker meet up.
Can’t tell people they can’t come into DC- can they?
PING to what may prove to be a fantastic thread AND event!!
Make sure you don’t have any empty shell casings with you, apparently you can be arrested for that in D.C now.
I wouldn’t ask for permission or forgiveness from these a-holes.
Be safe riders. God bless each and every one of you.
DC probably wouldn't have re-programmed all the red light cameras anyway, and so participants would have been greeted with piles of traffic tickets when they arrived back home.
