Motorcycle Memorial Day honors

Home » Motorcycling » Blog » Motorcycle Memorial Day honors

Several hundred motorcyclists, many of them Vietnam veterans, provided a double file honor guard Tuesday for a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial as it was trucked to Portland.

The line of motorcycles -- Harley-Davidsons predominated -- stretched as far as half a mile behind the flag-emblazoned semitrailer carrying the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall Experience, a three-quarter-scale replica of the famous monument that is touring 20 American cities this summer from Arizona to Virginia.

Portland is the only Oregon stop for the Wall, which, even at three-quarter scale is 8 feet tall and 240 feet long.
