Just wondering if anyone is doing the RFTW ride? Its a ride from Onterio Cali to Washington DC.

Ill be doing the whole thing starting from Nashville. Riding to Cali. Riding then to DC. Then back home to Nashville.

Here is the link for anyone who doesn't know about RFTW http://www.rftw.us/

If you can't make this ride there are many groups headed to Rolling Thunder, PARTICIPATING in this is an experience you will not forget.

But the goal is not to forget our brothers who haven't returned home.

Ride safe coolwazabi

Have a good ride. I'm a member of Rolling Thunder Indiana Chapter 6. I ride to DC with my chapter. I have been there 6 times.
I have seen the RTW group on the road a few times. They ride 2 abreast 3 seconds apart. That is not for me. When they refuel the best way to describe it is organized chaos. But it works.
Be very careful when you go as you have No idea what kind of experience the other riders have. They always have some pretty good wrecks along the way.

The protest ride from the Pentagon parking lot is awesome.

Have fun and ride safe.

I did the Southern route from Chattanooga to DC on a ZX6r sport bike. Nearly killed me I think. Since getting a vaquero I think it'll be more fun. And yes. Gassing up is a nightmare.

I have ridden to military funerals and on the color guard 8 years and can only imagine the confusion stopping for gas or have to stop and pee.
