Who We Are |
|
The American Legion Riders are members of The
American Legion who are also motorcycle enthusiasts. They can be found
participating in parades, partaking in motorcycling events, and
supporting the communities in which they live, work, and play. Members
of the ALR come from The American Legion, The American Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of
The American Legion. The American Legion Riders were formed...
...to participate in parades and other
ceremonies that are in keeping with the Aims and Purposes of The
American Legion.
...to promote motorcycle safety programs and to provide a social
atmosphere for The American Legion members who share the same interest.
...to use our Association to promote and support programs of The
American Legion.
The American Legion Riders is not a M/C,
and does not practice M/C rules or regulations. The American Legion
Riders is family-oriented, just as is its parent organization: The
American Legion.

Fun Ride
Nov, 28, 2009 4 riders road down to Malcolm only to find out the Lounge was

did and after some kicking tires and telling lies they returned home. What a
beautiful day for a ride! Temperatures in the mid 50s and no wind, no
tickets, and no crashes. What more could a rider ask for. |
