Presents


 

World Wide Ride
for
The Special Operations
Warrior Foundation



 
 

 The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides College Education's for the children of fallen Special Operations Personnel
of all branches of service.  The intent of the day was to make this a 
Guinness World Record attempt by having the most bikers on the road
at the same time for the same event world wide. 

This event was held World Wide and included
VFW Post 10476 in Rotonda Florida


 
 
 
The bikes started to assemble in the VFW parking lot just after 8 am

 
 
Special parking instructions were offered to fit the estimated 
300 - 500 motorcycles that were expected at this event

 
 
 
I didn't have a lot I could do until the event started at 9:45... so I went about photographing some of the super polished paint and chrome that makes these events so special. 

 
 
 
The bikes come in an endless variety of colors and shapes... 
and in a wide variety of crankcase designs.  Below are just a few 
that I thought were extremely clean and beautiful. 

 
 
 
 
Since it's almost impossible to photograph a single motorcycle at an event like this without having several others in the background... I decided to just photograph what I thought was the most photogenic parts.

Quite a variety of unique designs available these days also
Trikes (3 wheelers) are getting more and more popular every day..
and offer some folks a more relaxed ride.

 
 
 
 
Even the dashboards and speedometers
 are all extremely unique

 
 
 
 There was hot coffee and breakfast snacks inside
And everyone relaxed and prepared for the show to begin

 
 
 
The girls at the  registration table stayed busy signing everyone up and 
the raffle booth offered some spectacular prizes for a very small donation

 
 
 
And buttons, flags and 50 / 50 tickets were readily available all day long

 
 
 
And the Florida Garden Railroad Society offered 
a superb exhibit of model trains

 




 
 
 

 Looking around I started to notice quite a variety 
of very colorful motorcycle apparel...
and so decided to start a collection of the 
more unique and colorful designs that I found

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
But I gotta tell you...
That it's not always easy walking up to perfect strangers and asking....
" Can I  photograph your chest "

 
 
 
Cuz just never know how they're going to react.... 
Ya know?

 
 
 
But nice when you can get some pretty ones all lined up  :)

 
 
 
Ahhh 9:30 a.m.    -   Is it time for a beer yet ?

 
 




 
 
 
 

At 9:45 a.m. it was time for the ceremony to begin. 
The Honor Guard started things off with a 21 gun salute.
Marji Lazarus, the event Chairperson and Road Captain for this event 
held a short drivers meeting and informed the group about some 
small changes in the original program route
Cathy Moseley, the Auxiliary Chaplain read a short prayer 
which they call the "Blessing of the Bikes". 

 
 
 
Then an eerie silence took over the morning air
as 
"Taps" became the song of the day  :(

 
 
 
And everyone remembered the lives and the deaths of soldiers both 
past and present who have given their lives to preserve our freedom

 
 




 
 
 
 

 At 9:45 a.m. and they shout "Kick Stands Up" 
and the event takes on a whole new feeling.
 Over 125 motorcycles all started at once...
and the roar takes complete control over the airwaves
and you can feel the ground vibrating under your feet !

 
 
 
Slowly but surely everyone gets on the road 
and drives north on Cape Haze Drive

 
 
 
Then goes completely around the circle at the end of the straight-away 
and turn south back past VFW Post 10476

 
 
 
I have my video camera set up in the middle of the road to capture the event on video... but I take a moment and grab some photo's while the  bikes pass by.  A video clip will be available at the bottom of this set.

Once the bikes were on the road I had some time to get set up for their return and grab a few casual portraits of some of the participants
