From my local dealer. I participated in this last year. There is something cool about riding in such a large group (500+ from the dealer, Thousands from the high school):
In just a few weeks, 500 motorcycles will depart Smaltz's H-D, under a full police escort, for the 18th PHILADELPHIA Ride for Freedom. Mark Sunday, June 3 on your calendar because, as it is every year, the PHILADELPHIA Ride for Freedom is the "can't miss" ride of the year. There is NO FEE to participate in this ride because the ride raises awareness and honors all POW/MIA.
The PHILADELPHIA Ride for Freedom is one of the biggest motorcycle events in the Philadelphia region and is the only motorcycle ride that shuts down the Schuylkill Expressway (the major traffic artery into the city of Philadelphia). To put it into perspective, the Schuylkill Expressway is shut down three times, for presidential and papal visits and for the PHILADELPHIA Ride for Freedom.
Please meet at Smaltz's H-D at 8:00 am on Sunday, June 3. We will depart at 9:00 am for the staging area at Norristown High School. After meeting up with a couple thousand motorcycles, we will travel down the Schuylkill Expressway into the city of Philadelphia to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Penn's Landing. A ceremony will take place to honor all POW/MIAs.
Bring a friend or two to join us. Please call 610-458-9004 for more information.
If you are interested in meeting a Smaltz's let me know. I won't kid you, there is a lot of waiting around in this type of thing. We wait at Smaltz's, then again at the high school. But its a great chance to check out other rides and have I-76 all to ourselves all while riding to raise awareness and honor all POW/MIAs
