The SoCal
Chapter of the AMCA is a Five year sponsor of “Ride the Coast”, a charity
motorcycle ride supporting the Boys and Girls club of Santa
Ana. This year’s event included a 90-mile ride with
breakfast, lunch, live music, an antique motorcycle display and a
chile-cook-off.
We had a few
bikes show for the ride including Marc Gallin, TJ Graber, Ralph Krogh (featured
in the color brochure with a handsome photo!), Dave Neiderhaus, Gerry Unis and
a special guest, Kid Ramos of the Original Fabulous Thunderbirds. I had to put the knucklehead up on my trailer
so that I could pack double. But it
seemed as though a city councilwoman wanted to ride the ride and I was asked to
assist. Thanks to the generosity of V-Twin
City in Santa
Ana I mounted a new Indian Roadmaster and made the ride
in style with a passenger. The best news is that my son rode his newly restored
‘48 Chief right next to me the entire ride without a problem.
THANKS
to all that assisted with the ride including Tom Lovejoy who showed at the
finish for the display. The event netted a whopping $80,000 dollars for
programs at the club! The SoCal AMCA is
proud to sponsor this great event that gets the money direct into the kids
programs.
