Motorcycle Awareness Ride

On March 25, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona, four riders were killed and five others seriously injured while stopped at a traffic light. They were struck from behind by a large refuse truck. This sad event has touched the hearts of many and reinforced the importance of motorcycle awareness initiatives. The 1st awareness ride was planned in response to this horrific accident.

In honor of all fallen riders and their families, riding groups and clubs across the nation participated in motorcycle awareness rides on May 22.

The Central Jersey Motorcycle Riders Group organized a ride making a loop around central New Jersey mainly on the highway where we could be seen to raise awareness for motorcyclists.  The ride ended at the Brick House Tavern in South Plainfield where everyone enjoyed lunch and camaraderie.


A few pictures at the start of the ride.



A pit stop for gas and a big surprise for the attendant when 33 bikers show up to fill up.  Click on the pictures to enlarge, they are panoramas.



We are a very diverse group of bikers.



Close to the end of the ride I sprint away and head to the Brick House Tavern ahead of the group to film the arrival.  It was only 11:30am and the staff were surprised to see so many bikers on a Sunday morning.

My bike all alone on the huge and empty parking lot.
