Default 200 or more harleys

had a cool experience sat. i was on my way to get my son some lunch at subway...i was on my crossbones riding a back road to get there. in the distance i can see blue lights. im thinking the cops have someone pulled over and then i see more lights and cars on my side of the road pulling over. then i see it and hear it.......lots of Harleys coming my way. i pulled to the side of the road and watched as 200 or more bikes rode past me with police escort. i figured they were riding for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer event. lots of pink ribbons and pinks shirts ect....got lots of thumsb up for my crossbones too made my day to see that many bikes at once!

It's always cool to see that many bikes on the road. A while back, I had just about the same thing happen, minus the escort. Very cool.

I ride in a lot of fundraiser events and on Patriot Guard missions, but sometimes it's nice to be one of spectators. It kinda makes you misty eyed to see them all, especially when they have the big flags flying in the front.

It is a very cool thing.

I was recently in a PGR ride where the procession was over a mile long. Had to be 200+ bikes along with cars and emergency vehicles. The sound was amazing.

I have no doubt the earth shook when that rolled by. Would have liked to witness it.

Group rides like that are very cool to see. I have never gotten the chance to ride in a group larger than about 20.

It was pretty cool. The problem with that particular ride was that there were about 1500 more bikes than they expected. It was not organized very well... changed the route, no traffic control, run out of food etc.... but cool non the less.

I like looking at group rides, I just don't like being in them.
