Rolling
thunder
XXIV
|
| Annual
Memorial
Weekend
Demonstration |
|
Sunday
May
29,
2011,
will
be
the
24th
annual
demonstration
for
POW/MIA
awareness.
In
1987
a
group
of
Vietnam
Veterans
got
together
and
discussed
their
concern
about
the
POW/MIA’s
and
the
lack
of
attention
given
to
their
issues.
They
decided
to
hold
their
first
demonstration
on
Memorial
Weekend
in
1988.
They
had
approximately
2500
motorcycles
in
participation
and
the
march
was
announced
by
the
roar
of
the
motorcycles
and
described
as
the
sound
of
thunder.
Thus,
the
name
“Rolling
Thunder”
was
adopted.
Since
then
the
participation
has
grown
to
over
900,000
motorcycles
from
all
over
the
country.
Rides
from
area
motorcycle
dealerships
leave
early
Sunday
morning
and
meet
up
at
the
North
Pentagon
parking
lot.
The
main
march/demonstration
leaves
the
Pentagon
around
noon
and
passes
through
the
streets
of
Washington
DC
with
throngs
of
people
cheering
and
waiving
USA
and
POW
flags
in
support
of
this
patriotic
demonstration.
The
Rolling
Thunder
Organization
is
a
non-profit
organization
that
works
to
publicize
the
POW/MIA
issue
and
make
the
public
more
aware
of
the
many
Americans
left
behind
after
past
wars.
But
they
also
provide
financial
aid,
food,
clothing
and
more
to
veterans,
homeless
veterans,
and
veterans
families
in
need.
They
visit
hospitals
and
nursing
homes
nationwide
and
give
support
to
those
suffering
from
Post
Traumatic
Stress
Disorder.
So
remember,
as
you
see
the
motorcycles
passing
by
over
Memorial
Weekend
that
they
will
continue
to
ride
until
“ALL
POW/MIA’s
ARE
ACCOUNTED
FOR” |

Harley-Davidson's
Forty
Eight |
|
A
member
of
the
dark
custom
collection
from
Harley-Davidson,
this
bike
makes
the
statement
“less
is
more”.
The
peanut
tank,
chopped
front
fender
and
solo
seat
give
it
its
bobber
look
while
its
big
twin
torque
response
gives
it
great
power
for
quick
launches.
This
1203
cc
engine
has
lighter
than
expected
steering.
With
forward
controls,
low
seat
height
and
mirrors
mounted
under
the
handlebars,
this
is
a
sporty
bike
that
is
fun
to
ride
and
makes
a
great
starter
bike!
Stop

Track
Days
2011 |
| It's
Spring
and
a
young
man's
fancy
turns
to
thoughts
of
RACING! |
|
Have
you
ever
watched
the
pros
race
on
TV
and
wondered
what
it
would
feel
like
to
ride
like
they
do?
How
fast
could
you
go?
How
would
you
do
in
the
turns?
Track
days
at
Summit
Point,
Shenandoah,
and
Thunderbolt
race
tracks;
actually
give
you
the
opportunity
to
ride
on
the
same
tracks
that
many
pros
have
raced!
Participants
are
put
into
one
of
four
groups,
beginner,
intermediate,
advanced
and
racer.
Each
Group
travels
in
the
same
direction
at
the
same
approximate
speed.
All
riders
get
to
improve
their
skills
with
hours
of
instruction
and
quality
track
time
from
a
friendly
experienced
coach
in
a
fun,
fast
environment.
You
will
get
to
know
your
bike
and
what
it
can
do
while
you
exponentially
increase
your
skill
level
and
learn
to
ride
smarter.
It’s
a
fun
family
atmosphere
with
equipment
rentals
and
vendors
on
site.
And
for
those
that
want
even
more,
there
is
the
road
racing
school
where
graduates
qualify
for
a
racing
license.
So
when
the
warm
weather
calls
don’t
just
ride
the
country
roads,
get
yourself
to
a
track
and
see
what
you
and
your
motorcycle
can
really
do.

Matt
“Chicago”
Urban
Born
and
raised
on
the
Southside
of
Chicago,
Matt
just
happened
upon
his
position
here
at
Battley.
During
a
winter
visit
he
stopped
by
to
pick
up
a
t-shirt
and
started
talking
to
Conway.
Upon
learning
of
a
position
about
to
open
up
he
jumped
at
the
chance
to
work
in
a
new
location.
“Chicago
is
flat”,
comments
Matt,
“I
like
the
twisties
and
there
are
plenty
of
hills
and
curves
around
here”.
Matt
began
on
dirt
bikes
and
quads
and
now
rides
an
03
Yamaha
R6.
He
graduated
from
MMI
in
2006
trained
in
the
metric
bikes
and
has
been
working
as
a
service
writer.
Matt
started
here
in
February
and
says
he
felt
welcomed
and
appreciated
from
day
one.
He
does
miss
his
family
and
of
course
Chicago
Deep
Dish
Pizza
but
doesn’t
regret
the
move
one
bit. |
