Saw the group on I-40(E) @ the TN/NC border several years ago. They were coming from California and were finishing the next day in NC. It was most impressive & they had TN Troopers as escorts.

Would love to ride that one year but like others, no $$.

They do great work and raise a boatload of money for kids that most of us do not even think about.

I believe that they deserve (have earned) respect.


& parts eeter.....thanks for resurrecting this post!

Kyle has a one day ride in the fall after the Charlotte race. Cost was less than $50 and included lunch and gas on Kyles credit card. Kyle and Raiford were there and very friendly. Kyle took pics with anybody who wanted one. Was riding along and looked beside me and there was Kyle, grinning and waving. He and patty were great hosts at the farm. The event at the farm was held in his barn which is a Taj mahal.

No Problem, These guys are great people. Yes as someone mentioned they may be a wealthy bunch, but they are a wealthy bunch with good intentions so they are A OK with me. They make a huge difference for these special needs children that otherwise may do without many things that they need. Whether it be medical attention, educational resources, counseling, or just learning to have fun like kids should.
I think if anybody has any negative opinions to post a short visit to
VICTORYJUNCTION.ORG would surely put those thoughts to rest.

I cant recall what Kyle was riding because I was feeling way under the weather as shown by the pics of me. No I am not normally so beatup looking, I had a migraine so bad I couldnt hardly ride. I need to get to the chiropractor and get an alignment of an old MX injury. He may have been on a Roadking but I am unsure. He wears a Red Flamed helmet with Petty Blue accents. My girl was talking to him and he said that he actually just picked up a Sliver Flake Bell Custom 500 for himself. She was excited about the fact that Kyle was diggin her helmet.

Again guys.....Visit VICTORYJUNCTION.ORG to see the true greatness of this organization. I hope the mods do not delete this because I plugged a childrens home.

The riders & Chamber of Commerce were there.
