A massive annual motorcycle rally staged in Washington will end next year, with organizers citing a lack of law enforcement cooperation and “increased harassment to supporters” as reasons for stopping the 31-year-old tradition.
Rolling Thunder began in Washington in 1987 after Artie Muller, who served in the Vietnam War as an infantry sergeant, sought to call attention to veterans in need and prisoners of war.
In a statement Thursday, Muller said Rolling Thunder XXXII, scheduled for 2019’s Memorial Day weekend, would be “the final Thunder Run in D.C.”
“As a result of changing times the organization and Mission needed to be reorganized and reevaluated,” the statement said. “Reasons which determined our decision were the Pentagon Security Police/Washington Police officials continued lack of cooperation, increased harassment to our supporters and sponsors.”
Pete Zaleski, national vice president of Rolling Thunder Inc., the nonprofit group that organizes the ride, said staging the event costs about $200,000. The group lost about $20,000 last year, he said, on a ride that drew hundreds of thousands of participants.
The ride begins at a Pentagon parking lot and passes across Memorial Bridge, down Constitution Avenue to the Capitol and back to West Potomac Park, along Independence Avenue.
Zaleski said the group would have continued operating in the red because the Pentagon sought additional security, prohibited the sale of merchandise and limited the involvement of sponsors. He also said some riders were directed “away from parking or participating” last year at the Pentagon.
“It seems to me it’s either a lack of communication or a lack of cooperation, and I can’t really say for sure,” he said. “It could be a combination of both.”
Defense Department spokeswoman Sue Gaugh said that “the Pentagon is prepared to support the 2019 Rolling Thunder ride as we have for the last 31 years.” She declined to address Rolling Thunder’s criticism of the Pentagon’s handling of the event.
D.C. police said in a statement that the department “welcomes those who come here to exercise their First Amendment rights in a safe and peaceful manner. The Pentagon Force Protection/Department of Defense was involved in the planning of this event and [D.C. police] did not have any influence as to the decisions surrounding it.”
In the future, Zaleski said, Rolling Thunder rides will continue outside Washington in regional events organized by state chapters.
“Rolling Thunder is not going away,” he said.
Maintaining stability is one of the first things motorcycle instructors teach new riders, and for good reason: Unlike driving a car, where all four wheels maintain constant contact with the road without any effort, a motorcycle rider actively prevents his bike from falling over. Although steering dampers, shock absorbers and quality tires help, sometimes they’re not enough to prevent the bike from skidding when faced with adverse weather and terrain.
Bosch Stability control promises to make these concerns a thing of the past. Similar to a ride-by-wire system, motorcycle stability control is run by a computer that monitors several sensors; if it notices a loss of traction, the computer automatically applies both the disc and engine brakes to regain control regardless of what the rider was doing. Stability control is especially useful when taking on winding roads and riding on unconventional terrain that has sand, gravel or rocks — so much so that motorcycle journalist Sean MacDonald has dubbed the technology as making “crashing near impossible.”
CORRECTION: This story previously described electronic throttle control incorrectly as a cable-driven mechanism.

THE BARBER VINTAGE MOTORSPORTS MUSEUM is one of the world’s foremost collections of historic, meticulously restored vehicles—nearly 700 of them motorcycles, on five floors. While Hurricane Matthew battered the southeastern coast on the weekend of Oct. 7, 2016, central Alabama enjoyed absolutely sublime weather—dry, mild and sunny, with gusty breezes merely hinting at the storm raging farther east. This idyllic atmosphere welcomed throngs of motorcycle enthusiasts (73,541, to be exact) gathering for the 12th Annual Vintage Festival at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.
It’s hard to imagine a more diverse crowd or a more eclectic event. Certainly, the festival attracts a multitude of fans and machines you’d expect at a celebration of vintage motorcycling. But all ages of people and bikes were well represented, and anyone interested in motorcycles and their history—if only their very recent history—would find plenty to intrigue and entertain them. Warning: middle-aged folks who reflexively dismiss such fare as “old” and personally irrelevant will have to confront the reality that the bikes they rode as teenagers are currently—gasp!—antiques. So, take a deep breath, relax into this fact, and enjoy a broader swath of motorcycle-related pleasures.
Unfortunately, circumstances conspired to limit my sampling of this year’s Vintage Festival activities to Saturday only. My hurried tour hit just some of the high points, but it would actually be impossible for anyone to see everything offered, even if attending all three days; there is so much going on simultaneously. Study the facility map and attraction schedules in advance, then prioritize and plan your days accordingly. Although the sprawling 830-acre layout is well designed and free trams run continuously around the perimeter to make foot travel more efficient, events are widely spaced on the grounds and closely on the clock. The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum greets visitors near the park’s entrance. It is a hulking structure, where about half the world’s largest motorcycle collection is on display at any given time. Some gorgeous old racecars, including a special set of Lotuses, round out the assortment. The museum is truly an event in itself, and would have completely justified the trip to Birmingham, even without the Vintage Festival going on behind it.

Over 600 bikes converged on the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln on Sunday for the second annual ‘InSpire Ride’, a day dedicated to the commemoration and remembrance of those who gave their lives as aircrew during the bombing campaign of the Second World War.
Two mass ride-ins were organised: a northern group from the Humber Bridge and a southern one starting at Woody’s Bar in Ancaster, both arriving at the IBCC in glorious sunshine after a short tour of the Lincolnshire lanes.
“I love things like this,” said Mandy Mansfield from Scunthorpe. “The camaraderie’s great in a big group and you learn a lot, too. More people should do it!”
“It’s also very moving,” added pal Janie Medhurst. “When you see all the names on the walls it can be quite emotional.”
“It’s wonderful to see so many motorcycles,” said 94-year-old Aneurin ‘Taff’ Owen, who was a wireless operator on Lancasters with 153 Squadron at Scampton, one of nine veterans in attendance. “Bikers often get a bad name, but these are really wonderful people – it’s an excellent turn out.”
“To get a group together like this is fantastic,” said the IBCC Chief Executive, Nicky van Der Drift. “The story of Bomber Command is incredible and hasn’t been told fully since the war.
The IBCC cost £16m to build, was opened in 2018 and relies on fundraising to keep going. We’re at an age where we are losing veterans rapidly and it was so important to get it built – they’re so moved by the fact that people have come out in such great numbers to hear their story.”600 bikers honour bomber crews at Lincoln command centre
