Rolling Into Town on the Back of Fred’s Hog Written by Melanie Morgan

“Doug Lyvere of EaglesUp mustered over 600 bikers (updated) on Harley’s, Ducatis, and every bike in between. Guys and gals drove in from Modesto, Turlock, Arizona, Wyoming, San Mateo, San Jose, Santa Clara, Contra Costa and supporters flew in from San Diego and L.A.

In all, there were close to 800 people there, and it surprised the hell out of the media.”

Ah, I love the Smell of Bikes in Berkeley in the Morning!!

Eagle Pride Rolls Through Berkeley

“But the highlight of the day, for me, was a young Marine Lcpl, recently returned from Iraq, who was reduced to tears by the outpouring of affection and respect from the crowd.” Glenn Boyd

“Oh, the best part - at the staging point in the AM, the President of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce gave a speech welcoming us, sympathizing with us, pointed out the loss of business in Berkeley, telling us his displeasure with the City Council and Mayor, and thanking us for our efforts.” Doug Lyvere
