Benafit Rides?? Confused
I have been riding bikes all my life and typically do it alone or with a few friends and family, not much of a big group rider. I have done a few benafit rides here and there including one to Ground Zero.
I have found that most are very well organized and all proceeds go to a good cause.
I just heard of a ride that took place last week in the name of a someone who passed away. Unrelated to motorcycling. I wanted to attend but was unable and was disapointed as the person in memory was someone i new. Anyway, i heard the ride was over run with rouge riders, passing other riders during the ride, and more disturbing to me, doing smoke show type burn outs at the cemetary prior and post of the ride where the person was buried. Never have I heard of this and just cannot imagine that this is hw things are done. I have heard of a moment of silence or a prayer, but never this type of immature, dangerous behaivier. Maybe i'm getting old or just out of touch. This is what gives our image a bad name. There are so many positive things that we as bikers could do. Interested in your thoughts.
