New Bohemia, Va | ...beside mine?
I'll go up late Saturday and then roll the thunder on Sunday and return back to Central Va. If you're going, look me up, I'll be on the Midnight Cherry Classic Vision. |

What / where is Rolling Thunder?
There are many part/pieces to Rolling Thunder, but what most refer to as Rolling Thunder occurs on the Sunday before Memorial day with a ride from the Pentagon parking lot to DC down to the Viet Nam Memorial Wall.

This will provide other information about the organization called Rolling Thunder.

New Bohemia, Va | I've made one so far, but not on my Vision. But more to the point, I felt that Rolling Thunder is a good thing, but not enough to take me away. However, with my son now at Fort Benning going through Infantry School, it has just taken on a new meaning. It's not a ride to me any longer, but a voice. |

New Bohemia, Va | one more time - I'll be rolling out from around Richmond around 4:30 or so, headed to the Pentagon. Need to be there by 8:00am and I'm leaving plenty of buffer for any unexpected thing. If I'm close, I'll stop and have a cup of coffee. I'm thinking of linking up with an HD buddy at the Hardly dealership in Fredericksburg and rolling with them, but I don't have to.
Get up and let's go.

That would be great. At least it won't be a chance meeting like at Four Corners. |
