Pimping the Dead: Helmet, Black Leather & Heels Palin says "I love that smell of the emissions!"
Sarah Palin arrives in D.C. on motorcycle with Rolling Thunder

BY Helen Kennedy
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Sunday, May 29th 2011, 3:12 PM



Sarah Palin roared into a Washington DC motorcyle rally on the back of a Harley Davidson Sunday, causing a frenzy.

In black leathers, a black helmet and heels, Palin rode in the annual Rolling Thunder motorcycle ride before kicking off a bizarre bus tour to New Hampshire.

It was the former Alaska governor's highest-profile appearance in months and inevitably fueled speculation that she was readying a run for president.

"I love that smell of the emissions!" she told Fox News.

1. Now she's on her way to Gettysburg to besmirch that hallowed ground.
Gettysburg, Washington - it's all just a theatrical prop for that execrable quitter and fraud.

7. Article here says she only drew a crowd of 200
compared to thousands in attendance.

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/05/even-vision-sarah-palin-harley-fails-placate-bikers/38271/

When it was announced that potential Presidential candidate Sarah Palin would attend the Rolling Thunder biker rally on Sunday as part of her mysterious political bus tour, some members of the group complained that she would be "a big distraction."

But what's a few extra reporters in exchange for the chance to see the inevitable (though not unwelcome) sight of Sarah Palin riding on a Harley? Apparently, too much. Palin arrived at Sunday’s rally on a motorcycle driven by her daughter Willow, Politico reports, and only drew about 200 people around her, compared to the thousands in attendance. But organizers of the ride were "clearly frustrated by the media attention and fuss brought by Palin... Yelling, and in a few instances, shoving, they tried to keep away press trying to snap photographs or capture a rare quote." As Palin gave no announcement as to when or how she would arrive, security and press relations were left to "a small group of disgruntled bikers."

“I’m very not appreciative of the way she came in here,” Ted Shpak, the national legislative director for Rolling Thunder, told the Washington Post. Palin apparently came in the front of the Pentagon’s north parking lot, where event staff and press were assembled. “If she wanted to come on the ride, she should have come in the back.”

24. She does
To be honest, she kind of looks like a lesbian - and before anyone jumps all over me, I'm a lesbian, so I don't mean it as a slur, just as an observation. Though I wouldn't touch that with a 100 foot pole.

27. Bristol doesn't look anything like herself since her surgery.
Despite what she says, I think her changed appearance has little to do with orthodontia and much more to do with vanity. She's awfully young to start this. Does she want to be Heidi Montag or something?

21. I think a helmet can be your friend. Miz O went over the handlebars
of a simple motorscooter at less than 25 mph, landed headfirst like an arrow.

In the ICU there was some conjecture as to whether/not she would survive, and if so, the extent of the brain damage due to bleeding/swelling, but the neurosurgeon said that without the helmet we would not have even had *that* conversation.

I wear my helmet all the time - now - didn't prior to that.

14. many true bikers will back me up on this, i like the smell of harly emissions
too, it reminds me of being a kid and going out riding on the back of dad's harley. something with the straight pipes and hot rod custom engines put into my dad's bike and those of his friends gave the smell of the emissions a different odor than that of most cars. perhaps it is a hot rod thing too? any greasers on here ??? my old man was a greaser as a teen hot rods and all, and got into bikes later.

i doubt palin has toured america and gone out riding as many times in her life as i did as a kid, one day i will get a bike too and yes i like the smell and sound of a hot rodded out v twin. i doubt palin even knows what the hell she is talking about.

23. that smell is called "running rich"

29. "How do you wear all this leather and stay cool?" Palin asked one woman.
I didn't see a lot of other people wearing leather in the pictures.

What an idiot.

36. you wear leather to protect yourself from road rash
in the summer jeans and a tshirt are common but many bikers will put on a leather jacket if they will be rolling for skin protection in case of a fall. you then TAKE OFF THE LEATHER WHEN YOU STOP SARAH!!!! and leather chaps are worn when it is cold.

now the other kind of bikers, those on the sport bikes, often wear full leather jackets and pants, often color coordonated to their bikes, to look cool and protect against road rash, to each biker their own style!
