Adam Sandoval's Great American Convoy |
|
A born entrepreneur and philanthropist, Adam Sandoval revved the engines of the motorcycle world in 2014 with his creation of ScootinAmerica, a two year road trip to raise money for our military, which stemmed from his passion for riding motorcycles and was fueled by his regret of not serving in the military. Adam’s plan was simple – to give back to those who served.
Adam completed his mission to visit every Harley-Davidson dealership in the lower 48 states in order to raise money and awareness for our military and their families. That got him in the record books for the longest road trip, taking 2 years, over 80K miles, crossing the US six times, visiting almost 700 dealerships, and donating over $300,000 dollars to our military.

On the Subject of HOG Funds |
There's a few chapter members feel that there is no need for us to keep chapter funds. Still others feel having chapter funds is a good thing -to pay for Gas Cards and other things to help entice new members to join.
Of course this is YOUR Chapter, and we are in this together! We've got a 3 question questionnaire that will be going out to all the members so that everyone has a chance to answer.
This questionnaire will be going out tomorrow (Wednesday, June 7) and go through June 20th so we can make whatever the decision is by the Chapter in effect by July 1st. Thank you so much!!
