A special THANK YOU! to all the wonderful people, volunteers and businesses that have made this event possible. Without public support we would not be able to do this event nor continue with our education and billboard efforts.

We continue to speak at the local driving schools to help young drivers become more aware of safe driving habits and give tips on how to share the roads with motoryclists and bicyclists.

If you have an organization in this community, we will be happy to share motorcyclist awareness information with your group. Call 740-384-2241 for more information.
