It looks like 500 to 600 motorcyclists will want to be escorted across the bay bridge on Saturday. I can put up with normal weekend bridge traffic but this is ridiculous. Can't they ride in their OWN neighborhoods?

Try crossing the bridge tomorrow and find out. That's part of life over here, might as well get used to it.

I can accept the summer traffic but these "hells angels" wannabe are just there to disrupt traffic. The should not be escorted and just have to blend in with the rest of us.

It is more then just to Mear's Marina.
Leaves from Anne Arundel Community College – parking lot F at 9:00 am
Ride to Mears Point Marina for Lunch, then to
Twain’s Tavern (formally Bamboo Bernie’s) for Rest Stop, then to
Reckless Ric’s for Rest Stop and ending at
Cancun Cantina for Early Dinner and After Party
I admit looking at it at first it did seem to just be to the Marina.

It's for a very good cause. Let them come. You should be more worried about the 288 apartments that will be going into Mears next year. Talk about traffic and more crime. Guess most people don't know about that they kept it quiet!We should be protesting that. 4 buildings 5 plus stories high. They will be the highest buildings on the island.

Try crossing the bridge tomorrow and find out. I guarantee they won't bother traffic tomorrow.... How about you head on over to the homeless shelter thread, I think you'll fit in well there.

Don't know why the reference to the homeless shelter. One is for a good cause the other is a bunch of drunken bikers. Maybe there can be the police can set up a sobriety test after these guys do all the bars.

It's about semantics and one's personal opinion of people they feel superior to. Imagine if all those "drunken bikers" were homeless. Then what would your opinion of them be? You obviously have a personal grudge against bikers (even though they too are riding for what many would consider a "good cause") and don't mind broadcasting your prejudice for everyone to see. I also don't mind broadcasting my disagreement with that very same prejudice. If you read the homeless shelter thread you will see the same intolerance you display here.

l have nothing against bikers. If a dozen wanted to cross the bridge no problem. But 600 know the are going to be disrubtive to traffic. Look at their itineray all they are doing is hitting bars. Why do they need to cross the bridge? Why not donate money and stay home?

these "hells angels" wannabe, those "drunken bikers", l have nothing against bikers, all from your posts Zoe, you have an odd way of not having anything against the bikers.
It is for a good cause, let them enjoy the ride.

Seems to not have been a big deal on the escort over the bridge. All worked out well.

I bet the swim across the bay will cause more back ups with people looking as they drive over on Sunday.

I'm sure a few families at a certain restaurant in Waco expected to have dinner without a problem as well.
MCs aren't the same as a large group of drinking weekend warriors, but I have no love for either. Any group ride that has a bar as as stop I will not ride in. It's bad enough riding through traffic amongst less than capable drivers, but it wouldn't be a smart idea to ride tight formation with riders inebriated on a machine that takes more focus than a car or truck.
There are better ways to raise money for charity than clogging up the roads.

Next time they have a bridge walk, Zoe will probably be out there with everybody else.
