I stopped for gas in Meridian, MS and several HD's rode in to gas up when one pulls up and offers me to come hang out and eat with them at a Wounded Warrior event in town. They are doing a fund raising ride to the wall in Washington.
I told the guy thanks but I had to get home. He said that about 500 bikes were coming in from Jackson. Many had rode from California. Very nice dude. Had a Christian Motorcycle group patch on the back of his vest.
Several miles later I passed the riders going the other direction. Police escort of about 40 bikes then the rest of the guys. Impressive!!!! 500 bikes of all kinds.
I tried to find a place to pull over and get some pics but I was in a single lane construction zone.
**** the timing.
