Amid dozens of “Don’s Johns” port-a-potties with their brand labels taped over for Inauguration Day and beneath a flurry of helicopters, two leaders of Bikers for Trump surveyed a small patch of park on Washington’s Pennsylvania Avenue where they claim they will gather some 5,000 bikers for Friday’s inaugural parade after Donald Trump is sworn in as president. Related: Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox was an advance man for Dan Quayle back in the 1980s, but he couldn’t look less “Washington,” at the Inauguration, wearing jeans and a leather jacket with Bikers for Trump emblazoned on the back, and a pair of white headphones emblazoned with the Bikers logo clamped on his ears. He has rather cheekily offered up his group’s bikers to be a “wall of meat” between Trump, cops and the protesters expected to line the parade route. (Tweets on Friday morning claim a biker has already tussled with a protester.) Bikers For Trump guy fights with protester — Alexander Rubinstein (@AlexR_DC) Bikers are often associated with violence—most famously at a 1969 concert at Altamont, where an attendee was killed when the Hells Angels were providing security.

To sweeten the group’s image, Cox also invited “a biker band” to perform on the small riser in the park, and has instructed the band to break into the National Anthem 10 minutes after Trump is sworn in. “We’re the only pro-Trump group to get a permit on the route out of 90 permits,” Cox says. Mayor’s office, which issues the permits, confirmed that Bikers has a permit, but couldn’t confirm or deny the accuracy of the rest of that statement. If there is a wall of meat, it’ll likely be spread as thin as government Spam on a refugee’s sandwich along the more than mile-long parade route. Trump touted his biker backers during a Tuesday night dinner in the capital, while predicting “record crowds” at his inauguration (though early estimates are that he will have around a million fewer people than Barack Obama in 2008). “I saw the Bikers for Trump — boy they had a scene today,” he said. “And they had a scene today where they had helicopters flying over a highway some place in this country. And they had thousands of those guys coming.” Trump supporters have been using social media to share old pictures of highways jammed with streams of motorcyclists, supposedly en route to Washington. But the pictures were taken in 2013, of bikers en route to a 9/11 commemoration. Cox, who hails from North Carolina and who makes chainsaw sculptures in his spare time, organized a biker rally Thursday, at an At Home parking lot in Dale City, Virginia, about half an hour down I-95 from D.C.
