B.A.C.A Orlando ride 01/22/2012

As a last minute thing I went there with my friend last Sunday (I know it took me almost a full week to post it here).

This was organized by Harley Davidson and, as mostly all the rides, poker runs, etc. around here 99% of the bikes were HD.

The ride started at Downtown Disney (by Cirque du Soleil) and ended it a Harley Davidson.
I think they were expecting a couple hundred people and there were almost 1,000 registered.

I saw a group of Cruisers with Texas license plates (extremely loaded) but I was not able to take them a picture)

Always a good time when you can ride for a good cause:thumbup:

Cool. Sounds like a great cause. 1,000 bikes is a heck of a turn out. :thumbup:

Indeed, even the police said they did not anticipate this turn out!!!!!
The weather was perfect, is was awesome to ride several miles on I4 looking all the intersections blocked, many people waving at us and of course many pissed off!!!!!

It was interesting that the people at the HD dealership got ready in that short time to provide food to everybody that showed up, parking was an issue and they were able to fit many many bikes in their parking lot, many more parked outside on the streets.

Here is a link I found with a couple of pictures:

Here is the ride - YouTube, but it is about 30 min long. I did not see the whole thing but when I was trying to see towards the end, the video seems to stop playing!!!
Either way, for anyone that has not done a police escorted ride, you can see on the video why the police will ask that you do not use the left lane.
