JULY 16
RIDE TO WORK Nationwide
Get motorcycling the attention it deserves by riding to work on July 16 in honor of the 17th Annual Ride To Work Day. This annual effort is designed to show motorists how many of us ride motorcycles and to make them aware of what a social good motorcycle riding can be. Seeing you riding to work will remind four-wheeled motorists that motorcycles use less gas, create less pollution, and take up less lane space and parking space than just about anything with four wheels. Join forces with your motorcycling friends around the world on July 16 and make this a day to be obvious--on two wheels. For more information, go to www.ridetowork.org.
