I sincerely hope they prove you wrong. I recently joined the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) and I asked about if I would get any crap about what I ride, I was assured that I would get nothing but respect because it is not about me or my ride, and its not about you or your ride...it's about the mission and the individual(s) that we are there to pay our respects to and anyone that does not understand that is welcome to go get a life. Here in Ohio, it is not a problem. I am proud to hear that you will be there representing.BootScootin'FireFighter wrote:http://www.ironandsteelnyctoarlington.o ... _Page.html

Aug 28, a section of World Trade Center steel is being escorted by motorcycle from NY to Arlington to be presented to the County in honor of the victims and responders to the Pentagon. The motorcade will be made up of police and firefighters on motorcycles, with state and local police escorts. I don't do interstates, but will try to merge into the procession somewhere on the DC side of the river and ride across for the last few miles. I'm not trying to make a statement or anything, I just want to be part of the event (hundreds of motorcycles) that is being hosted by my fire department. The flyer states no attitudes, but I'm sure there will be plenty of comments being on the only scooter out of hundreds of hogs. I'm not the least bit intimidated, but ready for the comments and one-liners. I hope they prove me wrong in my assumptions.
