Bikers escorting Vietnam Memorial upset at Maine Turnpike toll


Bikers escorting a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial this weekend don't think they should have to pay a toll.
But the Maine Turnpike Authority says it is legally bound to collect the money, which could total $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the number of riders who participate in the event.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 motorcyclists are expected to accompany the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall on Sunday as it travels up the Maine Turnpike from York to Lewiston.
The 240-foot-long wall will go on display Friday at Veterans Park and will remain up through Sunday. Full Story - Vietnam Magazine - Camel Cigarettes - My Free - Emagazines & Newsletters
