He rode a 2 week, tour last fall to raise money for vets I think. So you maybe need to learn about bikers. Most are nothing like one who isn't familiar with the culture would ever understand.
I bought my first motorcycle in 1968 and am quite familiar with those who actually ride, not so much with those who'd rather stay home than get water marks on the shiny stuff. I've rode with everyone from construction workers to neurosurgeons, rode being the keyword.
Natalie, times have changed quite a bit since the Vietnam protests. We live in far more dangerous times. There are many biker groups traveling to DC to step into a peacekeeper/crowd control role if needed. I saw a news clip this morning of some hardcore biker types vowing to protect Trump at any cost. These guys were not fooling around.
For what????? Trump already has the the USSS, DC Metropolitan Police, US Park Police, NPS Law Enforcement Rangers, US Capitol Police, US Supreme Court Police, DC Metro Transit Police, DC National Guard, the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, and dozens of law enforcement agencies from suburban northern Virginia and Maryland. Heck, law enforcement agencies from all across America send officers to presidential inaugurations. My local police department here in NY is sending officers. Cops come from as far away as Guam, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico to help out with presidential inaugurations and line the parade route.
I don't think he needs some wannabe thugs on motorcycles. He doesent need his own Stormtroopers to guard him. This hysteria on the part of Trump supporters is part of the reason why he has so many people agitated and worried.
Anyone who disrupts this day for Trump will be surrounded by Trump supporters. Trump supporters are fed up with the garbage of the left. I wouldn't protest in the mist of all those so called deplorables. They have had enough of these cry babies.
I've been around bikes since Triumph and BSA dominated the culture... and Black Lives Matter are mostly young political science majors from college who are interested in being part of the political conversation. Perhaps the bikers will be open to meeting some of them and having a constructive conversation.
I'm not buying that those shouting "Pigs in a blanket; fry 'em like bacon!" and "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" are 'interested' in having a 'constructive conversation.'
\What 'biker culture' are you referring to? Those who actually ride or those who don't go out in the rain because the chrome takes too long to clean and think a 30 mile ride to a beer blast is a long day on the road?
Those who actually ride. And it's easy to clean a bike with a hose, a little soap, and a leaf blower. Ask me how I know.

And I'm not buying the idea that if 200,000 bikers show up there won't be an outlaw among them.
This is just what the Republican party needs. At some point Republicans will tire of the Huns that Trump has gathered to support him and represent conservative values, Nazi's, KKK, Russian sympathizers, outlaw bikers, and White nationalist.

Odd you mention those groups because when was the last time one of them caused rioting like the liberal groups do? Are liberals ever going to tire of illegal aliens, BLM, Panthers and anarchists?
The lefty groups have proven over and over again during this election they are violent and can't control themselves. Are you tired of them yet? Probably not.
