SCROLL DOWN THE LINK..... their are 6 videos. Video 2 shows a short clip of the escort. Take the time and watch all 6, you will never be the same.

I rode in one of the escorts. You have to watch these videos. It is such an honor to escort this bus from St Louis NON-STOP to Quincy Il. Missouri Highway patrol, Illinois Highway patrol, and every local law enforcement and or fire department blocks, and or escorts through every stop light, stop sign, or anything that could interrupt this bus. It literally never stops. Every overpass has bikes lined up and getting into the formation to do their part. If anyone ever gets a chance to ride this escort, please do. Come this way from St Louis area and you are welcome to stay at my place for the night to keep from traveling back in the dark.
