Riding through the most scenic back roads of the western United States, veterans will not only experience the great outdoors and the beauty this country has to offer, but also make stops to meet with other veterans, supporters, riders, and participate in various adjacent adventures.

​Rivco Products, Inc has recently partnered up with Veterans Charity Ride in their continued efforts to provide Veterans with the Ride of a Lifetime! #VeteransRide“They take wounded and amputee veterans on Indian Motorcycles, trikes and Champion sidecars from Los Angeles to the Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota. In the past two years they’ve taken over 30 veterans from all over the USA and from every branch of the military.

They spend over a week riding America’s most beautiful roads, getting to know each other and helping each other with Motorcycle Therapy. The shared experiences of serving brings them together, veteran to veteran to help each other heal. They also show the Veterans just how much their service means to America, by stopping in towns along the way to meet the people of our grateful nation to celebrate these brave men and women.

Once in Sturgis, they spend the week of the rally riding the Black Hills, attending events and giving the Veterans the unique “Sturgis Experience”.”

We are super excited to be a part of this! Please take a moment to make it to their website at https://veteranscharityride.org
