Bring It On!

There's definitely a profit made off of bikers' generosity. I think bikers will continue to participate in various causes be because there will always be a cause deemed "touching" or "important" and bikers will want to do what they can to help.

I agree. Everyday there is some run for something like "Free the Homeless Fruit Bats in Anatirca." Or "I am Just to Lazy to Get a Job Give Me Money Run". What reallt burns my butt is the runs that say the money is going for one thing and it never does. It is getting a bit carried away. Me, I stick to the runs that effect my friends and "family". Also to good causes like Easter Seals, Muscular Dystrophy,Veteran Affairs, and The Association For Retarded Citizens. I used to love to ride at night. Especially around " The Loop" here in the Ormond Beach area. So much cooler. Sadly to say alot of riders will just say screww this ! Just support causes that you beilieve in and for the most part it will be all good. Support the local vendors and the like. To Hell with the ones that come to town from somewhere else to make a quick buck and go away. I have watched this @#%* for years in Daytona. Ride safe out there !

I don't much care for riding with newbies either...they can cause an accident unless you really watch what they are doing and able to anticipate what they will do before they do it! I like groups but with people that has been riding for a while and know their bike very well. I have been in some groups to where my husband and I would teach them how to ride in a group and how to look after one another while riding...that doesn't bother me as much when I already know what I'm getting into, Them Kiddies on them crouch rockets are nuts on wheels! They have no respect for others, are very careless, and really think they own the whole road to do what ever they want to...NO CLASS!

The trouble with so many charitable rides each week is that the ones you would like to support is sometimes on the same day and times and you can't really be in two or three places at once so you bounce around and whind up just taking a ride...well I can do that anytime during the week as well! From what I've heard they plan to have another concert benefit for the victoms that lost their homes in the plane crash again! I will try to make that one!

Pick yourself 5 or 6 runs you enjoy and stick to them. I have 5 bros,and sis's that eigther drive or ride bikes. One is our offical photo getter. And she enjoys riding and shhting. I/m in the process of getting back on a bike and back into the groove. Maybe our trais will pass some day you'll reconize us, we're the sensable looking group. Thak care...scoot on.

Di- I rode for years & years, about 120000 miles a year, couldn't get enought. After 19 back operations I had to give it up 2 yrs ago.
I loved to go out for these different events, because most are for good causes. In fact 2 weeks ago We held one for our Disaster Unit and it did well. Everybody has their own causes that they feel is dear to them..I would rather give my money for a bike ride than to MICKEY MOUSE who already has Billions

When citizens stop with their negative image of anyone who rides....Ahhh, wouldn't that be nice. But we strive hard to show otherwise, while no one is looking. AFFA But even Angels get old. Still, there is one more ride, always.

shink13...The Blue Ridge Parkway is my old stomping grounds and my favorite ride of all and I miss it so much for that is my home in my heart always! Imagine that! I do go to visit from time to time and of course with my bike as well...maybe I will see you on the road sometime, just look for a BIG RED bike with an eagle head on the front wheel fender and an American Flag on the back rack...that will be me! Say hello if you should see me out and about riding the roads OK! LIVE TO RIDE!
