Default Riding my pink softail in costume for muscular dystrophy

I'm posting this here because you guys all know me pretty well, and it is about my softail in a way...

I'm riding in Boston Harley's annual Halloween ride for muscular dystrophy on October 14, with about 600 other bikes. It's a huge ride, and this is the first year I'm doing this particular charity.

Each year I donate blinged helmets (I have a helmet blinging business) to charities, but for this ride I am asking if people will sponsor me by making a small tax-deductible donation to my page for muscular dystrophy.

I promise to post pics of the costume and my bike all decorated. I'm having my face painted so it should be pretty neat.

Thanks for any donations, even tiny ones. Every bit helps!

Looks like a good charity ride and a good rep from our forum! I'll dig in my piggy bank and see what I can do to help out this good cause. Be safe on the ride!

Yeah I'm a little bit nervous because this is such a big ride and there will always be riders who don't know proper group riding procedures. But it for a really good cause. Thanks!

I have never been involved with so many charities since I got a motorcycle! I think that reflects extremely well on all of us

Hey everyone - I'm EXACTLY half way to my fundraising goal, woo hoo! Everyone is giving a little bit, even though times are tight. Keep it coming, it's so kids with muscular dystrophy can attend summer camp.

Even $5 helps, smooches!

600? It was six thousand last year and was terrible as there was a 40 minute delay when a cop got hit by a car that didn't wanna wait.
Lots of bikes and you're right lots of inexperienced riders too.
I hope you do alright!

I was just guessing 600 bikes, I thought it might be more.

Yeah I'm a little bit worried, I did know about the cop that got hit last year. I'm thinking I will either get there very early to get in the front, or just wait until the very end of the ride to go. But if at the end there will be a lot of pissed off drivers to deal with.

Hi, Just 6 days to go for this ride. Any tax-deductible donations to help the kids with muscular dystrophy go to summer camp greatly appreciated by all!

I've got my giant spider and cobwebs already on my windshield, and I have a face painter set up for that morning. Should be fun..........
