Motorcycles are not allowed in Washington D.C., but they plan to ride through the city anyway. The demonstration, which is scheduled for after 11 a.m., is set to be peaceful. About 3,000 bikers are estimated to attend.

Whatwhat?

As in, not legal to ride on federal roads, paid for by federal tax dollars?

I didn't visit Mordor when I was on the east coast on my bike, but I've never heard of anywhere that an otherwise street legal and licensed motorcycle is illegal to operate.

Isn't vehicle registration and suitability for operation, along with drivers licenses themselves, part of that "full faith and credit" stuff?

A quick google search doesn't seem to support that quote.    They had requested a no-stop permit, allowing the ride/parade to proceed through without stopping at red lights/stop signs.   The city refused to grant said permit, and so instead of a 1-2 hour event, they've estimated that the ride will now take *several* hours.

Yeah, the DC DMV website lists motorcycle endorsements and registration amongst its services, so I think whoever wrote that article is misinformed.

Concealed means concealed. 

You want to be the solo biker, the first biker, to be protesting in a place like that... you're GONNA get frisked.
