Big Bear Choppers Holds Rally

Big Bear Choppers Cid T Shirt

What started out as a way for Big Bear Choppers’ Kevin and Mona Alsop to show a little appreciation for their customers and fans has evolved into one of the better micro-rallies on the West Coast. This year’s celebration had a ‘Hollyweird’ theme, complete with fire-breathers, knife throwers, burlesque dancers, the Globe of Death, and Shortywood’s KISS cover band.

After looking over Big Bear Choppers' store, I decided to pick up one of their long-sleeved shirts - the Cid.

19th Annual Operation God Bless America Motorcycle Ride

Some of the best people in the world are out there on motorcycles, donating their time and money to worthy causes. 2,500 registered motorcycle riders helped raise $62,000 on Sunday for the Martinsburg's Veterans Affairs Medical Center during the 19th annual charity motorcycle ride.

Operation God Bless America began 19 years ago when a group of dedicated motorcycle enthusiasts planned a ride to support soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines during the first Gulf War. Over the course of the last 18 years, riders have raised and donated about $225,000 to the center, 100 percent of which goes directly to the care of veterans.
