I am glad we had a good turn out for the BBQ. I know the Red Knights were very happy. I hope everyone had a safe Holiday. I know I did, I just logged over 400 miles on Punkin over the last 2 days. Yes life is good!

Hey Wrongway,

I can't take any credit for anything except eating the FF's food. I'm not affiliated with the FD, but the do get to ride in some really cool trucks.

They do deserve every bit, and more, of our respect and thanks. They know how to eat too. Fired00d asked me "Have you ever seen a skinny fire fighter?"

They need that balast to lift those heavy hoses and ladders.

Thank you guys and gals. It really is just another job. I just get to look cool riding in a pretty red fire truck. Oh did I mention I get to blow the horn and  play with the siren!!!!

Thanks to Gary for letting me tag along and Dawg for the fantastic chow.  All other BBQ now pales in comparison.
Great pics!

I had a great experience this year ...

I got a call from Patriot Harley-Davidson in Fairfax, VA.  They asked me to film the event for them.  Turns out they have a big ride from their shop in Fairfax up to the Pentagon (in conjunction with the Fairfax HOG) called "Ride Of The Patriots".

I had no idea ...

The "Ride Of The Patriots" ... to get to "Rolling Thunder" ... was a HUGE event.  There were 5,000 bikes or so, with a parade, Keynote speaker, ceremony ... and get this ... the police CLOSED DOWN the 495 beltway for all 5,000 of us to parade from Fairfax up to the Pentagon.  I couldn't believe it. 

So, I when I got there in the morning to film, I find the Command Sergeant Major of the Army (the senior NCO in the whole Army) is their keynote speaker ... and he is riding the Orange County Choppers bike that the Tuttles made for the Army ... and they brought their own professional Army camera crew.  On top of that the Command Sergeant Major of the Army Golden Nights Parachute Team was there on his Harley ... wearing the camera on his helmet that he uses when he "jumps".

... and they gave me all their footage / Pix.

It's going to take me a couple weeks to go through it all, edit it, and put together this years video ... but I got some awesome stuff ... onboard and offboard.

I'll post it here when it's done.

Rat,
That's awesome can't wait to see the video. I did "The Ride Of The Patriots" back in '05. Enjoyed that more then the actual parade down Constitution Ave. Nothing like getting a police escorted ride that shuts down a major interstate and have people all on the sides of the road and overpass' waving flags at you.

 
Ride Safe,
Fired00d

Look forward to the video.

FIREDOOD, DCFIREMANN, CHIEF all have a good time. I do have to say we were blesed with a perfect day.

Chit now I'm really pi$$ed.  Every year I've been there it rained.  Maybe that's why you guys had such a perfect day 'cause I wasn't there to bring in the rain,  Anyway, glad to see you had such a great time.  Wish I'd been there.

[magic-rat]

LOL.

Thks.  It was a blast!

I gotta get a cruiser this year.  I need to rob a bank.
