Default Rolling Thunder 2006

Spent all day today in DC with Rolling Thunder. If you haven't had the chance to see this event you should really try. It's really a moving thing to see all those bikes. It was hot as all get out but it was a very cool thing to be a part of. You've never seen so many tough biker's with watery eyes as you do on a day like today. As a Vet it's something I'll never forget.

Ride Safe...

We came out of Fredericksburg, VA. Rolled about 150 bikes out of Big Daddy Leather. Nice showing.

I know where that's at...tried making it to the New Year's Eve ride last year but missed out. You take HOV up to Pentagon? We road out of Dumfries near Quantico.

My friend rode back there from California. He went with another guy from the area. They had a van pull out in front of the bikes yesterday or early today and put them in the hospital. My friend had his pelvis broke in 6 places and has a bunch of lesser injuries. His partner had no major inuries. The idiot in the van just didn't see him and his partner.
Both bikes are history.
