VOL. 50 ISSUE 36 SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
Ricky Johnson and whoever else shows
up to support the cause. And we'll be
meeting those who do likewise from Toyota of Escondido with four-time World
Champion Eddie Lawson; and those who
opt to ride in from Cycle Visions-Eagle
Rider San Diego in Old Town in San Diego with Glover; and with those who will
meet up with another ex-motocrosser
and friend of Glover from the area, Scott
Burnworth, as he leads a group from MotoWorld of El Cajon.
Once there, those who attend the event
(either by riding in, or getting there any
way they can) will also be able to take part
in the 2013 Celebration of the Motorcycle
event that will be the setting for the Glover
ride at the fairgrounds. For a $50 donation, attendees will get admission, free
parking, an event T-shirt, raffle tickets, a
Breathe Easy Ride In poster, a Celebration of the Motorcycle poster and more.
There's also a little added bonus: Plenty
of legends to sign those posters… men
like Skip van Leeuwen, David Bailey, Jeff
Ward, Bruce Penhall, Robbie Maddison,
Danny LaPorte, Dave Ekins, Mark Blackwell, Tom White, Marty Tripes… just to
name a few. And then there's the one guy
who is really my favorite – Kel Carruthers.
As Rick Johnson said on Glover's radio
show on Sunday morning when Broc was
thanking him for being the ride-in captain
from Mission Motorsports… "All you had
to do was ask."
And he's right. Glover didn't have to
bend anyone's arm to get them to do this.
They're doing it because they know of
Dayne Glover's plight. They know of others in the same situation. And they just
want to help. And they're motorcyclists.
And that's what motorcyclists do.
Hope to see you there.
