New from IL
Hi all. Currently living in the St. Louis metro area, but getting ready to move to Ft Leavenworth, KS. I own a '04 Fatboy. The family and I are constantly on the move since the Air Force pretty much dictates where/when we move, but we consider Illinois our home of record (the wife and I both grew up here). In the AF for 16+ years with 4 or so more to go...
Look forward to talking with all of you as I start to learn my way around the site...

RE: New from IL
just outside of chicago here, 95 flstn, member of the Rescue Riders of Illinois.
We created the Rescue Rider program to recruit, educate and organize bikers in support of each other, our communities and our nation. We do this by helping bikers with the tools & training needed to provide emergency assistance in times of need. We accomplish our mission by working with groups like the Medical Reserve Corps. The Medical Reserve Corps. was created after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as a national program which brings volunteers into local, regional and national emergency response efforts.
Did you know that immediately after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 thousands of volunteers converged on the City of New York to offer assistance? Most were turned away as they were not credentialed volunteers of a professional emergency response organization. As a Rescue Rider, you will be aligned with a professional emergency response organization and can directly impact our ability to effectively respond to these events.
About now you may be asking yourself, what can I do as a biker to help with these events? As bikers, we can take advantage of our increased mobility via two wheels do deliver medical professionals, supplies and aid into areas that may have limited access due to wide spread destruction from tornado's, hurricanes, flooding etc.
As bikers we are also accustomed to the dangers we as motorcyclists face while riding. For this reason we have started a "Ride for a Reason" program which allows our bikers to serve as volunteers at area events and poker runs. Our volunteers participate at area events just as you normally would but now you have the training & tools to provide aid when encountering an accident which has become all to common these days.
You can learn more about the Ride for a Reason program HERE.
