As usual, no, no matter what follows. I may very well go on a motorcycle tour of Southeast Asia, even though I've never experienced it before. I will likely not sign on as Towel Boy on a Turkish tramp steamer, no matter how I'm encouraged. Lannis
So much phobophobic negativity..... Go for it Geezer, but make sure to wear a full face helmet and full-on textile ATGATT, it'll drive 'em nuts.
No thanks. I'll be where there's almost no traffic, much less noise and far fewer people that weekend (Cass, WV).There are ways of honoring our veterans without dealing with herds of Hogs or going anywhere near Washington, D.C...
Do you have to have a flatulent exhaust system to ride that?
Might not work.A few years ago, Greg, a friend of mine -- of the Norwegian-bachelor-farmer sort; the kind of guy who, as he had no distaff supervision :wife:, would wear knee socks with sandals and bermuda shorts ::) -- rode his Honda Helix scooter to that event. I told him Greg that he would be mercilessly mocked, then killed, and later rolled over by the usual suspects there until his body was flatter than Kansas. :'(What happened?"They" loved him. One group of stereotypical toughs from south Jersey virtually adopted him, kept him safe on the parade --good thing, as he rode worse than he looked -- and took him to see some night life of the kind he'd never seen in Lake Woebegone. ;DHe came back and said he'd had the time of his life. He moved out west only a few months later, so hasn't been to another, but he still gets misty-eyed over it.So, while hardly my cup of espresso, go for it. The cause is commendable, but I view the event's most positive aspect to be getting folks like that off the real roads on a nice riding day. ;)Obviously, as with all such things, YMMV.Bill

Lannis is a hater....
Actually, my little corn popper is running Mistral exhaust (loud & proud) ...and I do have a 'Doo rag...Would it help to fit in better if I hung a length of chain off one of the handlebar ends?
