Great! Thank you, President Trump! The LIB lunatics probably have what’s left of their mutated heads exploding about now.

I donated my time at a bikers rights organization back in the 80's/90's with the guy who started this thing. His name is James Gregory, a Vietnam vet, and he started the "Run for the Wall" from San Diego. It grew into starting points from all over the country to meet at the Vietnam Wall in DC. That grew into what is now 'Rolling Thunder' as a tribute to those who gave all. What better time than Memorial Day weekend to make this honor happen?

I tried to ride part way with them around 7 years ago as they passed through my area. They rode "nut to butt" the way the military in boot camp march which is the most dangerous way they could possibly ride. I was disappointed in what they had become. A road captain on a Goldwing pulled me over and informed me I was not to ride with them. The police would be called if I did because I didn't pre-register to ride with them and would not ride in the stupid and dangerous way they were riding in cluster groups nut to butt leaving no time to react to an accident ahead. James Gregory had long retired from organizing this ride and I was left to wonder if this kind of thing was why.

They had the right intentions but their execution was all wrong. Sad really. I no longer support the Run for the Wall but do support Rolling Thunder (of course).

The Run for the Wall was originally supposed to be a way for fellow VN vets to get together on a road trip (on bikes) to share in their experiences in a way only they could do. I hope that part at least succeeded as they are quickly dying off since many are in their 80's now.

It’s a stereotype that even a maniac like me who still drives his challenger at ridiculous speeds and never grew up has.

We usually think of guys and gals that ride bikes as the crazy and wild bunch.

I think the movies had something to do with that.

PLUS THERE’S NO CAR AROUND YOU!! :)

Too risky for this wuss :)

This is a prime example of deep state leftists in the defense department using their power to silence conservatives. Thank you President Trump but we must worm to oust these horrible leftists.

This is another instance that brings to mind the following.

When people whine about Trump, I just laugh at the silliness.

We are NEVER going to have a guy that agrees with us more.

What are our idiots waiting for? Be happy!

Well, there is always the phone with blue tooth and a couple speakers inside the pipes, LOL

Hmm, maybe a 8 cylinder radial with exposed valve covers taped as it low levels overhead.

Harley Davidson is in decline. The Viet Nam era riders are dying off. Young people now live for their cell phone, not motorcycles. The crusher will be when Harley goes all electric.

Rolling... Hum? Rolling Whine? Doesn't sound right.

Thanks to the hundreds of police officers that managed traffic around DC so the event could happen safely.
