Sarah Palin's much-publicized "One Nation" bus tour got off to a chaotic and rumbling start Sunday in Washington, with no bus in sight and the potential presidential candidate only occasionally popping into view.
The former Alaska governor, who has indicated she is still contemplating a run for the White House in 2012, showed up at a motorcycle rally at the Pentagon, clad in black leather, a black helmet and sunglasses, riding on the back of a motorcycle driven by an unidentified woman.
Fox News, with whom Palin has a contract for political commentary, said Palin attended the rally with her husband, Todd, and some of their children.
Asked by those in the crowd whether she would run for president, Palin replied, "I don't know yet," Fox said.
Amid the rumble of motorcycles, Palin was asked whether all of her tour events would be that loud. "Oh, it would be a blast if they were this loud, if they smelled this good," Palin declared. "I love that smell of the emissions!"
Once back as a passenger on one of the bikes, Palin traveled with other riders to the Vietnam memorial on the National Mall, and later was seen riding down an adjacent street, waving to the crowd from her perch.
The bus tour has been a staple of presidential campaigns, but Palin's effort was as much a mystery as her future political plans. Tours are usually highly choreographed to present the candidate making multiple speeches in front of rapturous crowds, as a sort of rolling campaign commercial.
In Palin's case, however, there was no indication where she would appear next or whether she would even speak publicly.
Last week's announcement of the tour, which Palin said on her website was meant to start the "fundamental restoration of America,"

Love the old “Peace Through Superior Firepower” bumper sticker on the bike!
What a load of crap from the L.A. Times! They admit that it wasn’t a high profile event for her but make it as chaotic and something wrong to do so!!

She really seemed to fit right in with the crowd. God love her. Run Sarah, Run.
I love that smell of the emissions. Smells like... victory.
...thereby preventing the Acorn, SEIU, and other Marxist groups from mustering their violent members to harass and disrupt her. A side benefit, the MSM is totally clueless as to where they are to send their 'unbiased' newsreaders.. Sarah has them by the short hairs. Pull Sarah pull!
HawH000ooo!
HawH000ooo!
Seeing how Romney is getting the better share of support, according to the drive by media, I implore Sarah to please get her hat in the ring soon.
We need her.
LOL! Good one.
Can someone put that side by side with Sarah on the motorcycle?
Patience, wait til you see the reds of their beady little eyes.She announced this on twitter late Thursday and it turned it the the biggest event of the campaign. She will be our next President.
Pray for America
The LA Times, The NY Times, “Politico”, they are lost, they are clueless. They have no idea what Sarah Palin is doing to them, MSNBC will probably melt down this coming week. But......more is coming from Mr. West & Mr. Cain, and....and of course Michelle Bachman. And....Paul Ryan will do his act. Washington hunted long and hard for winning Generals and he got them in Daniel Morgan and Nathaniel Greene. Morgan whipped the Red Coats at Cow Pens and Greene never beat them, just drove them crazy with attacks. Lincoln ditto: Grant & Sherman. Two women and two Black men!!! America, God has blessed us with freedom loving, free spirit, love America patriots. 2012 is going to be unlike any election seen in this country for many, many years!!!
