Does anyone know who first started the tradition of having motorcycles come onto the field for the Pre-Game introductions? It seems many teams do this nowadays and I'm curious as to which team started it first.

The first time I ever saw it at an indoor game was in 2006 at a Corpus Christi Hammerheads game (Odessa @ Corpus). I might be wrong on this. But I think it started before that when Orange County Choppers drove their bikes onto the field at a NY Jets game.

I saw my first Omaha Beef game in 2001 and they brought motorcycles onto the field then.
I'm pretty sure they've done it since they started, but I'll ask someone who was there from the start.

I dunno' but I recall them doing it at Raptors games up in Rockford(I went when they were in the UIF).
Not only does it fill the arena with highly toxic, nauseating carbon monoxide, which the fans & players then have to breathe, but since they were Harley Davidsons, they create another health risk to players by dribbling slippery motor oil all over the turf as only Harleys can.
true story: back when I was a deputy sheriff, I rode for a time with The Blue Knights(motorcycle club for fuzz) they MADE the Harley guys ride in the back of the line so we wouldn't wipe out on their constantly dripping oil. ;D
