These bikies were arriving in the park while we were touring the USS Alabama. Quite a siight as they all arrived into the park. They were participants in the inaugural Rileigh and Raylee Angel Ride which started from Battleship Park to Fairhope, Alabama on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2002.
The Ride was to benefit the Rileigh and Raylee Angel Ride Foundation which was set up to assist families who need help in paying for the things insurance typically doesn't cover and for those who have mental, physical or occupational challenges. They all travelled down to Florida that day. Leave a Comment Address: Battleship Memorial Park, Alabama

The USS Alabama was a winner of nine battle stars in World War II and shot down 22 enemy airplanes. It was first commissioned in 1942 and its quite an impressive sight at 680 ft in length and a width of 108ft 2”. Under battle conditions she weighed in at well over 45,000 tons. She had 127 officers and 2,205 enlisted crew. Alabama was "mothballed" in Bremerton, Washington until 1964, when she was transferred to the State of Alabama.
Because we were staying opposite, we were able to walk across and take night photos - really impressive at night.
