Are you saying Artie Mueller, a Vietnam veteran and founder of Rolling Thunder, Inc., is a liar?

The tradition is ending because of escalating costs and a lack of cooperation from the Pentagon and metropolitan police departments, said Artie Muller, a Vietnam veteran and founder of Rolling Thunder, Inc.

Costs for the 2018 ride totaled more than $200,000, Muller said. The nonprofit hasn’t been able to recruit a new corporate sponsor, and Rolling Thunder didn’t sell enough merchandise, such as patches, pins and flags.

Rolling Thunder is much, much more tolerable than Cop Week.

But they have been doing it for decades before you moved to the area.


I grew up locally so no.


NP but same thought. Grew up here and always hate that I have to plan my weeekend and routes around the thundering nuisance.

I think it's because the riders are getting older and the ranks aren't back-filled with younger folks. The fire of accountability is being extinguished. That's sad.

I thought they were allowed to park anywhere they want?

That doesn't really make sense as a reason. There's still SOOOOO many people who do it regardless of the price of parking and hotels. I suspect there's something else.
