Dealer plans solar eclipse ride

Flying Tiger Motorcycles, of Maplewood, Missouri, is hosting a “Ride Into The Sun” event, which will take place August 21, heading into southeast Missouri to watch the solar eclipse. 

“We’re calling off work and taking our boss with us. Flying Tiger will be closed Monday, August 21 and will be heading out of the shop at approx. 10 a.m.,” the dealership said in an email announcing the plan, with links to the event page on Facebook.

Flying Tiger Motorcycles will provide special glasses, so riders can stare at the sun. The number of glasses purchases will be based on number of riders who RSVP on Facebook.
