Southwest Florida Bike Nights

Writer/Producer: Kristy Vaughn

It could be the year round warm climate, or it might be the freedom of the open road, but motorcycle culture is fully embraced in Southwest Florida, and the lure of two-wheeled thunder calls out to our spirit of adventure. The city of Fort Myers and Cape Coral have even been snared, and as a result have organized monthly Bike Night events to encourage camaraderie between bikers. Through the meet-ups, motorcycle clubs, such as Rolling Thunder or Chrome Divas, help to better our community by organizing fundraiser rides for charities, such as Veterans Associations and the March of Dimes. The charity rides seek to gain awareness for the cause from the general population. After all, few can resist rubber-necking when a group of bikers roar down our palm tree-lined streets.

@combatvetlawstudent I wasn't referring to you. I was just saying people in general jump to conclusions.

@combatvetlawstudent vetshome.com is great site with great information too for all you vets out there that didn't already know!

[combatvetlawstudent]

vetshomedotcom veteransofamericafoundationhtm go to vetshomedotcom and see ONE of fundraising orgs taking money from people and what THEY do with the money. Well meaning people who love vets get duped. THATS all I am saying please research the company before helping them do for vets.. I have family and friends who ride across America for pleasure AND for fundraisers. I'd ride more if wasn't for my back. just want people 2 B aware if this vid makes em want to go give!

@Linkz14 I am NOT jumping to any conclusion. I simply made a helpful comment and you came about using vulgarity and hateful. If you think that hostility is not from anger perhaps you are in denial. It was unkind and unjustified.

@combatvetlawstudent Whoa whoa, you got it wrong, I'm not angry. I just saw your comment and was wondering what it had to do with riding, but I guess they were riding for charity, and Im not taking out any anger. People jump to conclusion to much.

@Linkz14 this vid contains more than one topic. You should watch it again since you apparently MISSED the OTHER topic FUNDRAISING for VETS. And take your anger out on your pillow instead of others online.

@combatvetlawstudent What the fu**ing hell does that have to do with riding ?

[combatvetlawstudent]

When my houses flooded and lost evrything not a single org that collects money for vet helped in any way when I called. AM a combat disabled vet and now struggling w/ the debt it left and getting through law school paying my way thorugh still NO HELP! I dont believe anay org really gives to the vets. Just investigate what exactly thye do for vets is all Im saying.
