Bondo, EJ and I met when I was on the way to church on Palm Sunday and I stopped to see why so many bikers and Sheriff's deputies were gathered at Stokes' Victory Polaris Motorcycle Dealorship on Mobile Hwy. Bondo was the first person I met and he explained that they were all set to ride off to the Beulah Sausage Festival on a charity ride to benefit Sacred Heart Hospital's Camp Miracle. It was called "Riding For A Reason" and I had to leave before their departure for Beulah Land so I don't know how many riders they had compared to last year's 900 but a steady stream was rolling in as I was leaving.
Bondo
EJBondo said that there's a charity ride of some kind every weekend and I have to say that I was really impressed with the love they radiated for their cause and for each other. I'll post more about their gathering on Sunday.
And Bondo, if you read this, my email address is pensacoladailyphoto@gmail.com. I need you to drop me a line because I forgot the name of one of your friends and I need it before I post his picture (and forgive me because I messed up the photo of you and your beautiful bike. I'm soooooo sorry!).

Love the biker shots, especially the one with the goggle or is that google eyes?
So, these are Heavens Angels, I suppose!

V, I absolutely knew you, if no one else, would get that one. It's just a part of life here in P-cola. Don't worry, there's more to come.

Bikers are really into theater, aren't they.
Fab. I just love bikers and you got some great shots. No lady bikers?
What a great group of people! I have heard of charity rides here in East Texas, too.
I need a pair of those glasses!
Hilda, the jackets are very complex and they're all different. It looks like an industry to me.
Bfarr, the goggles/glasses cracked me up, they were perfect for EJ's personality.
Jilly, there were lady bikers, lots, but I'm posting for 100 Strangers today and you have to have their name.
AH, it's all about theater, with a heart. They were having a great time and the deputies wished they were on their own bikes.
Neat shots, JC! :)
I'm afraid our 2-year-old grandson is already smitten with a love for motorcycles. He giggles from his car seat when one passes by on the highway, and then he tries to imitate the sound along with the throttle action by twisting his wrist back and forth in the air. Love the pics, especially the one of the goggle-eye guy.
LOL!! Love those goggles on EJ!!
Nice story and I'm sure a nice bunch of guys!
