For the second year running Bikerwares has been a proud sponsor of the BAD ride here in St Louis. It’s a great feeling to know that in our own little way we are helping people who are suffering from the deadly disease of diabetes.
I’d like to thank the staff of the ADA for the great event. And I’d like to especially thank all the “real bikers” who showed up.
This last weekend the Road Riders for Jesus put on a great event in Mount Olive IL. It was a real honor for us to be part of it and thank you very much for the opportunity to help. We look forward to doing it again next year.
Be safe enjoy the ride

Rip's Bad Ride II
Rip’s BAD Rid 2008 St. Louis MO.
Bikerwares will be attending the Bikers Against Diabetes Ride in St. Louis Mo again this year. This has become one of our favorite events to support. Not only is it fun, but it’s an event that is there to help find a cure for one of the primary killers in our society.

Deep in the Heart of Texas bikers can rock and roll.
The Gonzalles Thunder Rally looks to be a great time with food, drink, biker games and rock and roll. What else can you ask for. Check them out at

As it starts to get colder up north, the south (that includes Texas) will always offer you that warm southern hospitality for all of our biker friends….
Recently, I got an email from a good friend of mine telling me about a project that his son is involved in. When I checked out the website I was struck by importance of this event.
On September 11, 2001 ( 9/11 ) we got a somber reminder of how precious our freedom is. Because of the actions of a few our country was faced with the most hideous reminder that we must stand for what we know is important. This year on 9/11 five young men, who are fighting for our freedom and our rights are putting together a 24 hour walk around the mall in Washington DC. I highly recommend everyone to support their cause by either participating or donating to the cause.

There are lots of options for places to stay during the 105th Anniversary for Harley Davidson. Camping is by far one of the cheapest options and usually a funner option at that. Here’s just a couple of I know about places offering camping. In some cases they are even offering free camping.
If you got more suggestion please leave them as comments.
