- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and
appreciated.
- Safety First: Please remember to
properly hydrate (including the night before) before any
outdoor activity and to dress appropriately. Do not hesitate
to take a break at any time if you feel you need to get in
the shade or get indoors and always ask for help at any
time. Also please do not forget your sun screen.
-
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family. NO TALKING IN THE FLAG LINE!
- We will
park along the main street close to the designated shelter
with 2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each
other as possible so that traffic can get by.
- Let's
always remember to keep the motorcycle and voice noise to a
minimum when arriving and leaving the shelters.
-
Cemeteries are hallowed ground. Please keep radios off and
engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit.
Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the one we
are honoring.

It’s not going to be as hot, but it is going to be around
95, so be sure to hydrate starting the night before.
