Harleys in DC

[backhoeboogie]

I didn't know we had that many Harleys in America. Picture I saw on the net showed acres and acres of them. Was that a photoshop job or is it real?

Real deal.

I prob'ly didn't see that same pic, but saw a couple from the interstate showing a double line of bikers as far as you could see in either direction. Have seen it said there were just way too many count. Also read that the other group that was shooting for a million of their kind at a rally today ended up with more like 2 dozen.

Thinking about this, and the two recalls in Colorado today... Kinda makes me think they're are plenty of folks ready to take this country back.

Report from DC news said about 20 some Muslims showed up, and a couple thousands bikers. Guess the towel heads didn't like the thought of all the hogs?

That is so cool! I am glad that they went in droves, as they didn't need the protection. They were the protection.

I like the idea that they were denied a permit but they went anyway. There is nothing that says you can't just drive around and see the sights. Along with a few thousand of your closest friends.

I just heard on the radio that they estimate 1.2 million bikes.

Been wanting another bike for awhile now. My wife is kind of holding me back for now. Thank the Lord.
Looks like a lot of fun to me, as long as it's not raining.

Torture time. Riding in the rain is still riding. I was riding a Sportster (my first HD) back from Sturgis some years ago. Rode two days in the rain. Put up my tent in the rain, and took it down in the rain. Not fun, but a small price to pay to see the great country in the greatest of ways.

I was riding as fast as I could thinking I would eventually get out of the rain. I was wearing full leathers and a rain suit. No wind shield. Finally I had to take a break. Stopped under an over pass, along with a few other bikers roosting there. One of them ask, "You riding in that hail storm?" I said, "What hail storm?" At 90 mph, rain and small hailstones feel about the same.

BTW - I hear HD converts to water or oil cooled in a few years, marking the end of the old school air cooled V-Twin.

HDRider, I have rode in the rain for hours in leathers myself. Rode home from Cherokee NC. after a fall rally and I was black and blue all over from the dye they used in the leathers.
