Fallen Policemen Motorcycle Run

Video taken while traveling through the little all-american town of Lakeville Indiana, on Sunday, July 27, 2008. We were heading north on US 31, playing a Ray Charles CD of "America the Beautiful" when this approximately 1 1/2 minute procession of motorcycles started whizzing by going south. I have since found out they were riding as a fundraiser for 2 fallen Mishawaka Indiana policemen. Cpl. Thomas Roberts and Patrolman Bryan Verkler. They started from the Mishawaka FOP Lodge 91. This is the third year for the run, this years proceeds were donated to the Indiana Chikdren's Wish Fund. The scene was heartstoping given the duration, the music, the flag in the background at Hoosier Tire and the event they were riding for.

Nah, I'm living in Florida for the last 8 years, but resided up until then in Indiana. Just appreciative of someone showing what the media doesn't, that bikers do have a heart.

Glad to see fellow bikers up in my home state showing Indiana the true compassion that humanity is lacking these days.
