West Coast Thunder XIII

May 28, 2012 in Riverside, California

Each Year over 7,500 motorcyclists pack the street of Indiana Avenue in Riverside, California to celebrate the tradition of West Coast Thunder.

The Memorial Day parade will begin staging at 6:00 a.m. The ceremonies will end around 9:00 a.m. at the Skip Fordyce Harley-Davidson venue, at which time you will need to proceed to your motorcycle and prepare for departure. The parade will depart for the Riverside National Cemetery and Soboba Casino at 9:11 a.m. The parade will be escorted by the Riverside Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Riders will obey all posted speed limits, and all police officer instructions while on route.

This year, the West Coast Thunder Foundation has partnered with their friends at KFRG Radio 95.1 FM to aide in the production of West Coast Thunder XIII. Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, California, has graciously donated their venue and production staff to produce a concert for the registered participants of West Coast Thunder XIII. Headlining the concert this year will be Uncle Kracker.

Proceeds will benefit the Riverside National Cemetery Support Committee via the West Coast Thunder Foundation. West Coast Thunder has been the major contributor of funds to the Riverside National Cemetery. Completed projects include construction of the National POW / MIA Memorial (dedicated in 2005), repairs to the Medal of Honor Memorial, financial support to the RNC Memorial Honor Detail, and funding each July of the Concert for Heroes. Lastly, these financial gifts have funded cemetery projects to include purchase flower cones and the honor of indigent and unaccompanied, homeless Veterans buried each month with placement of a bouquet of flowers and an American flag on their final resting place.
