Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 5, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2011 With an interest in World War 2, I thought it would be poignant to remember that tomorrow marks the 67th anniversary of D Day. In 1944, allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted June 7, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2011 Maybe a rideout weekend? I've thought about that before but a group of bikes rolling up in a cloud of 2 smoke just doesent seem right. Or do i have altogether too much respect for the folks that are rememberd there.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 7, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2011 I was disappointed how commercial it was to be honest. The second from last picture is the American cemetery, it is huge and the last picture is a British cemetery tucked away on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that even a bunch of dirty, greasy, granny-bashing, child-eating bikers can make the effort to travel all the way just to pay their respects will still be appreciated just as much!!
