Sunburnt and sore, I just returned from riding ‘Rolling Thunder’ in Washington DC for Memorial Day. Any vet or serving service member with a bike- irrespective of manufacture- should ride this at least once. I saw lots of Japanese marques, a dirt bike and a scooter or two.

It was a deeply moving experience- it’s hours later and I’m still overwhelmed.

Great pics! I shot video of the whole route and a couple of stills. Still fumbling with them. I didn’t see Sarah unfortunately. I wish I had. There were like 650k bikes there I’m told. The air was shaking with low-frequency rumble for and hour and a half before our file got to depart from the Pentagon parking lot.

I also found out that I can sleep soundly on my bike on it’s kickstand without touching the ground. We were in ‘hurry up and wait’ mode for hours and hours. :-)

Any other Freepers there?
