Coyote_Joe's
The
owners, Richard and Susie, have always supported Veterans as well as
Rolling Thunder TN 3 since our infancy. If it wasn't for these
two folks giving us a leg up in the beginning our Chapter wouldn't be
rolling along as well as it did in the past or does today. For
several years they provided us with a great place to have our
meetings. Anytime our Chapter ever needed anything these two
gave their all and continue to do so today.
We can't
say Thank You Enough
to these two people.
Their Bike
Night is held on Thursday Nights 52 weeks of the year. They
have Great Food, Great Music, some of the friendliest people in the
world working there not to mention the fellow patrons that usually
fill the place are really super folks. If your looking for some
fun times with fellow scooter peoples it's pretty hard to go wrong if
you point your scooter in their direction. |

Quaker_Steak_&_Lube
Quakers,
particularly a fellow named Jeff, has also been a great help to us
with our mission. Starting sometime in or around Febuary 06 they
began providing us with a wonderfull place to have our monthly
Chapter Meetings and to top that off they allow us to literally pitch
our tent in their parking lot on bike their bike nights. That allows
us not only to promote our mission but raise a little money for the
cause as well. |
The
Golden Corral
In
2008 due to the size of our TN3 chapter's growth we needed more
space so the folks at The Golden Corral stepped up to the plate for
us and began providing us with a wonderful meeting location which
included a fantastic meeting room not to mention great food.
It's
located at 6612 Clinton Hwy on the corner of Clinton Hwy. and
Callahan Rd. |

Wall in vintage Huey Vietnam Helicopters (with their ground crew a
sum of about 15 people) and 2 Helicopters. |

In May 2008
ACS Digital
Imaging & Printing
was really
quick to aid us with our mission when we had an event poster that was
in desperate need of being distributed. The problem was that we
didn't have enough to go around and it was way to big for our
equipment to reproduce. They quickly scanned it into 2
different formats we could use which allowed us to get the word out
in the 5 day window we had to do it in. |
In May 2008
Signs - N - Such
went to work
for us supplying us with some signage we needed in a hurry in
preperation for the Flying Thunder Event that came to Knoxville's
Downtown Island Airport.

for us from time to time.
We highly
recommend them for any photography needs one may have.
They can be
contacted at 865-938-5650 |
Bobarosa's
The owners,
Bob and Jessie, are some super folks not to mention everyone else
that works in the place. Not only do they support our Vets as
well as our mission they have even went that extra mile and became
members of Rolling Thunder Chapter TN4. If your looking for a
great place to meet folks, ride to, hang out, have some great food
and listen to some awesome music this is the place. Last time
we looked their Web Site is a bit out of date but the fun and food
they serve sure isn't. |
