- 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, SMOKING, OR CELL PHONE USE 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.

To all Ride Captains. If you plan to be at any of the parts, please
