AMA Wants Members To "Ride For A Cause"

April marks the American Motorcyclist Association's annual Get Out
and Ride! Month and this year each week is devoted to a different
theme. The organization recently announced this week is Get Out and
Ride For a Cause! Week, where motorcyclists are encouraged to
donate their time to whatever charity they choose.
The AMA is hoping that riders take this week to strap on their
motorcycle helmets and do some good in their community. Whether
it's organizing a charity ride or simply volunteering, the group
wants to see its members make a difference this week.
"Motorcyclists are well known for their generosity, kind spirits
and warm hearts, and this week we are honoring the hundreds of
thousands of riders who do their part to make life better for
others, and for their support of motorcycling," said AMA President
and CEO Rob Dingman.
Those who "Ride For a Cause" this week are encouraged to share
their stories on the AMA's Facebook page, where they can also enter
a trivia contest. Correct submissions to the trivia contest qualify
participants for a chance to win a brand-new motorcycle jacket.
This Friday has also been dubbed "Freedom Friday," where the AMA
encourages members to read up on issues threatening rider freedoms,
such as motorcycle-only police checkpoints.
