I hope this doesn't get interesting.

Those bikers do so much good for various causes, as the bikers stated it's our country what right do politicians have to forbid them to ride.

Quoted Text

Bikers hoping to cruise nonstop through Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Sept. 11 received disappointing news over the weekend: the city denied their permit request.

"We find this regretful for the residents and businesses of that great city, and humbly offer our apologies," organizers of the ride said Friday on Facebook. "What could have been a one or two hour ride through will now likely be an all day event."

Ok....what am i missing here.....why did they have to get a permit to ride thru a state in america? Did they have to get a permit to go thru the state they have to go thru to get to washington?

I wouldn't have bothered even 'asking' for a permit!

because there are a lot of them.....the right to 'assemble' (an army) hahahahaha.....it's mostly about fear and the
authorities saying "we are watching you", oh, but we're not gonna clean up your sh!t

Of course the feds who are in bed with Al-Queda, DON"T WANT THEM THERE.

I think the bikers may have wanted to do a motorcade and not have to stop at every red light. That would have been the reason for asking, from what I gather.

So far... It's about 2000 bikers!  

I almost wish I could see it, but if it is as hot and muggy there today as it is here, people are going to choke from the bike fumes.

Probably because it's the middle of the week and most bikers, in order to afford their $20,000+ bike(s), need to have a job.
A more representative number of them in a similar vein, is the 200,000 of them that show up annually on the Saturday of memorial day weekend for Rolling thunder....

Still, they'll probably manage to outdraw the Million Muslim march today.

"Rolling Thunder" has nothing to do with a protest against Muslims, and so is relevant to the
(LMAO) "2000 Biker Ride"

Mission
Rolling Thunder’s mission is to educate, facilitate, and never forget by means of a demonstration
for service members that were abandoned after the Vietnam War. Rolling Thunder has also evolved
into a display of patriotism and respect for all who defend our country.

FIRST AMENDMENT DEMONSTRATION RUN
The Rolling Thunder First Amendment Demonstration Run is an annual ride and gathering that
first started in 1988. Riders from around the nation, and even around the world rally in the
Pentagon parking lots and begin the run through the streets of Washington, D.C.  Afterward,
it is an opportunity to meet old and new friends, pay respect at the memorials and participate
in the Memorial Day events.

LEGISLATION
Our mission also includes legislative efforts.  Rolling Thunder strives to affect national policy
in a way that will assist POW/MIA’s. We wrote, got introduced and passed, the Missing Service
Personnel Act of 1993.

'Million Muslim March' Shaping Up To Be More Like A Few Hundred
People Walking Down The Street

I know the rides purposes don't have anything in common, you dolt...
What I'm saying is the attendance would have been larger, probably much larger had the ride been on a weekend...
Either way, your 2000 number is a LITTLE off based on the video I have seen...
