Default September 11th Memorial Ride

I went on this ride in 2006, we had fire truck escorts from each city that we rode through, even a helicopter that flew over head through out the ride. Police officers and Firemen were blocking off intersections standing at attention saluting us as we rode by. There were also many people on the sides of the streets and on bridge over passes waving American flags and cheering us on.

It was a well organized ride that is worth taken the time to participate, you wont be disappointed! Please pass this on to anyone that you know that rides. A majority of the bikes are Harleys, but all are welcomed.

I ws very impressed with the reverance of all the riders. Very few had to show off. I saw people from my Hog chapters, from The Honor Run, from the Girls Ride, Run for the Wall. I really like the one hour show. The one who got to me was the gentleman talking about the flight attendants who died that day. Bought two shirts, always for firemen families. Will do again next year. Debbie
