Fisher
House Benefit Ride
Rolling
Thunder TN3 was extremely honored
to have the
pleasure of leading this ride of 130 Motorcycles from Knoxville to
Johnson City where Rolling Thunder TN4 took the lead.
The Membership of TN3 as well as TN4 would like to thank everyone involved for the wonderful opportunity.
This was a
fantastic event put on by the Gal's at Knoxville Harley Davidson
which raised over $2,229.47 at last count for the Fisher House
as well as
brought in excess of $2,000.00 worth of supplies to the Veterans in
the VA hospital.
Just about
everyone at KHD was on deck for this one from the owner Dial Brown
right down to the guys that turn the wrenches in the service department.
The riders in
Knoxville really came out for our Nations Veterans
not to mention
alot of riders from other cites along the path who joined in to show
their support.
We had even
more folk's join in on the way to Johnson City at Cobalt Harley Davidson
as well as
Smith Brothers Harley Davidson in Johnson City.
When we
arrived in Johnson City we were meant by a police escort
orchestrated
by TN4 one of our 5 Rolling Thunder Tennessee sister chapters.
Registration
was from 9:00am at Knoxville Harley Davidson
The cost of
this ride was $10.00 per bike plus $5.00 for your passenger
Kickstands went Up at 10:00am
The ride went
from KHD on Clinton Hwy. to Colboch HD in Morristown
and then onto
a stop at Smith Brothers HD in Johnson City
and ended at
the Mountain Home VA Hospital in Johnson City.
