Well it's that time of year again, Thunder Beach hit Panama City Beach bringing in thousands of motorcycles which you can hear from just about anywhere.

The roar of these motorcycles can be heard all over the beach. It's the 10th anniversary of this event and it attracts thousands of people each year.

There are all types of vendors set up for these bikers. It all kicked off today and will run through Sunday.

We've talked with some bikers from all across the southeast and they tell us it's worth the trip.

Biker Danny Guy, "We just love bikes and love the people we meet so we're just having a good time."

Biker Eric Turner agrees. "We've been coming for 5 years now. It's just a good place to get away and kick back for the weekend."

And some bikers get the reputation of being not so nice. But the bikers we spoke with today are top notch and are just ready to have a good time. But police tell us to make sure everyone knows to use caution because there are a lot of bikes on the roads right now.

Thunder beach runs through Sunday with events at Frank Brown Park, Sharky's, Spinnaker, Newby's Too, and Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort.
