This event was last weekend. We had about 500 motor cycles come from Athens.
It was their annual ride to remember the people that died in 9-11 and the firefighters that sacrificed their lives.
The event was sponsored by Cycle World and they had cooks come in the night before and prepare a great lunch for them, complete with music by an Athens group called The Honkeytonk Daredevils.
they oo'd and aah'd over each others bikes, sat by the river and soaked up the atmosphere of a beautiful day!
The extra special bike that was here belonged to Royce Horton, a captain at Gwinnett County Fire Department. After 9-11, he had his bike painted with pictures of the fire, towers coming down, exhausted firefighters, etc. as a tribute to the fallen firefighters.
