This biker mama is testing the political waters …
Sarah Palin and her family attended Sunday’s annual Memorial Day Rolling Thunder Ride in Washington D.C. The former governor was dressed in biker gear, including a Harley helmet.
Thousands of riders paraded down Constitution Avenue on a route from the Pentagon to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Palin used the event to kick off her East Coast tour that is likely a prelude to announcing that she will run in the 2012 presidential contest.
Palin wasn’t talking politics on Sunday but she did cause a definite buzz. Wearing heels and black pants and tee-shirt, she shook many hands and happily posed for pictures with well-wishers.
She offered up her thoughts on her political website: “There’s no better way to see D.C. than on the back of a Harley!”
The Palin tour entourage includes Todd Palin, the couple’s youngest daughter Piper Palin, and their eldest daughter Bristol Palin, who was a third place finisher on last season’s Dancing with the Stars, and recently debuted a totally new appearance following reconstructive jaw surgery.
