The 22nd Annual Thunder By The Bay Music and Motorcycle Festival in Sarasota, Florida is a great three-day event that raises money for Suncoast Charities for Children. If you have never been, it is worth the trip for a good cause. We had an awesome time listening to great bands, such as the Heart Tribute Band Love Alive, In the Light of Led Zeppelin, Ultimate Def Leopard and the headliner band, Warrant, as well as many others. The drinks were flowing, there were lots of vendors, a bike show, burnout contest, Cycle Circus stunt show and even a poker run on Sunday. Even though the rain rolled in for a bit on Friday night, it did not stop the crowd from coming. The bikes kept rolling in. The crowd even doubled on Saturday night! It is clear, that when it comes to raising money for families in need, especially children, you can always count on our biker family. They truly do have a heart of gold!
