I been riding bikes for over 45 years. I've seen it all, and seen things I wish I had not seen. When you ride Harley's it opens up doors. How many you want to pass through is up to you, and how far into the rabbit hole you wanna go. The last hole is the graveyard.
We do so many charity runs a year for our Vets, Cancer Victims, Animal Rescues the list goes on. Some of these are so emotional when you see a woman who is stage 4 terminal trying to pay her bills and needs help. That's where we come in. Lots of us. It brings tears to your eyes ( and I don't care how tough you are ) realizing how fortunate we are to have made it this far in life and being able to help someone. We do it all the time, year round.
Was talking to a woman the other day about one of our rides. She did not know you pay to ride on these benefits. It's usually 25/30 per bike and 10 for the passenger if your riding two up. Then of course you can drop extra cash or a check in the box. Anything to help. We did a Pit Bull Rescue ride this summer. There were only 76 bikes on the run. We raised over $5000.00. Those dirty bikers. LOL
I know my riding days are coming to an end eventually. I hope that before its over I see one of these little sheet heads try and burn an Amercian Flag at one of our events. Just once, without a line of cops to protect them. By the time the ambulance gets there, they'll need a spatula to scrape him up.
