You lost me, what are we talking about!!

The MRFs "Bikers on the Beltway".
The largest gathering of motorcyclists that meet with Federal Lawmakers to have "one on one" discussions about current and proposed laws concerning motorcyclists. These include insurance discrimination, funding for "motorcycle only" road stops, proposed "high visability" vests/jackets, distracted driver laws, and the use of non-compliant fuels, etc.

This is the first year that non-MRF members are invited to join.

NO

However.......if the American Spring event is half what its purported to be.......you may have trouble getting out of DC.  Bring clothes for a couple months

Thanks for asking, I had no clue either.

Now to look up "operation American spring"
Remember, if you are on a bike and wreck with a car no matter how "in the right" you are you are going to lose. RIDE LIKE EVERBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU!!
