finally changed up the routine of watching everyone head out for rolling thunder by actually participating this year…
it was a moving and amazing event. the masses of people, the number of motorcycles, the sites and sounds are unforgettable. unfortunately it doesn’t seem the same can be said of the pow/mia’s from the viet nam war.
the events recapped in pictures:
pre-ride festivities
gathering at a friend’s house before heading out… as always, thanks to wayne and theresa for their hospitality…
the ride out…
lining up…
the “protest”
hanging our before the parade begins…
a hitch-hiker found it’s way to the rally – although i don’t think it fared too well…
miscellaneous stuff…
post rolling thunder party
and finally back at wayne and theresa’s for the after-party… not too much to report from the party other than this funny story. at least it was funny at the time. and probably funnier when you know the characters involved… with that, a quick introduction to jamie…
jamie’s not your normal homo-phobe… he likes to instigate trouble but doesn’t do so well when the tables are turned. for instance, he wanted to buy a helmet sicker to place on someone’s helmet. he wouldn’t even buy the sticker, sending me to do the dirty work. not only that, he had to be clear of the vendor’s tent when i made the purchase. now, if that sticker was placed on his helmet, he would most likely end up burning the helmet and getting a new one…
during a recent gathering, the guys were commenting and admiring the view on a well endowed female. jamie was jumping up and down in order to get a glimpse of sites. eventually the guys picked jamie up by his elbows to partake in the view.
to help jamie out in the long term, they devised a solution…
