Blessing of the Bikes 2013
Sunday was Freedom of Road Riders, Local 24's Blessing of the Bikes. It is our biggest fund raiser of the year and a really great time. We had about 700 people come for the event which included, food, music, vendors and of course the blessing.
Some religious motorcycle groups, such as Christian Motorcyclist Association, go to each of the bikes and pray that the rider has a safe year. It is a great event for a great cause.

Biker Chick
If you don't know me you may be surprised by a hobby of mine....I ride a motorcycle.
My dad is a biker. Full on fury tattooed grey beard.
He has ridden a bike my whole life, so biker rally's, poker runs and long road trips on the back of the bike are natural to me.
I never thought that I would be a biker, but my graduation from my dad and step-mom was my very own big girl bike. I got off to a VERY slow start. One would think that having been on bikes my whole life, I would be comfortable with the thought of riding by myself, but I was terrified.
I rode around the parking lot the first couple of times. Then around the circle in the front of my dad's house for a few weeks. I then spent the next few months riding around the neighborhood and finally took the big step to cross Lindbergh road. I'm still not comfortable on the highway, but I officially consider myself a biker.
I am also part of a Motorcyclist Rights Organization (MRO) called Freedom Of Road Riders (FORR). "The main purpose of this organization is to guard the rights of all motorcyclists; to keep them informed of the laws that will help or hinder them as motorcyclists; to promote safety, rider education, brotherhood and freedom for all motorcyclists."
