Women Riders and Bobby Rice
By Missarkie on Mar 28, 2009 in Motorcycle Events
About two weeks ago we went to an event at the Local Harley Dealer Ship I met several women who ride their own motorcycles. This is a picture of two of the women that I met. They talked to me about some of the problems that women faced. But they also gave me some more courage to learn to ride. I was truly amazed at the amount of women at this event who rode their own bike. They also have rides out of Landers Harley Davidson that are just women. And then something else I found cool was they do things as a group of just women that are not on the bikes. That is so that women who do not know how to ride or do not want to learn, they just enjoy being passengers can spend time with other women who l love to ride. I did look at bikes while there to see which ones I thought I might be able to handle.
The other picture is of me and my friend Bobby Rice. Bobby was a legend in Arkansas. He was one of the best muscians around. He was our house band at the bar that my husband and I use to own. Plus he played at my wedding reception. This is the last picture that I will ever take of him. I have some videos that I am working on and would like to post when I have them put together. He played at the bike event and a couple days later we got a phone call that he had died. In his better days he rode bikes. At his funeral there were all kinds there, including the bikers that he used to ride with.

Philadelphia DA Lynne Abraham Join Paul “Earthquake” Moore at the 8th Annual Skating Party and Motorcycle Ride for Peace
Southwest Philadelphia activist, Paul “Earthquake” Moore, has once again teamed with top dignitaries in Pennsylvania and the surrounding regions to promote a weekend of peace and unity in honor of slain police officers, especially Philadelphia Police and Officers a round the State,S killed in the line of duty
The 8th Annual Weekend of Peace and Unity Skating Party and Motorcycle Ride for Peace, begins May 15 , 2009, at the Elmwood Skating Rink, 71st Street and Elmwood Avenue where skaters are invited from 5-7:30 p.m.
The Motorcycle Ride for Peace, begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 16, 2007 at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. Riders, including Abraham,scheduled to help kick off the ride, will line up and motorcycle North on Broad Street to Cheltenham Avenue. Once there, bikers will turn around and motorcade back to the stadium area. A reception will follow the ride at the State Burners’ Motorcycle Club House, on Woodland Avenue, near 52nd Street in Southwest Philadelphia.
The skating party is designed for kids and parents to spend quality time together. Children from all over Philadelphia and the surrounding areas are expected to participate. There is a $6 donation to enter the rink, but for less fortunate kids, entrance if free.
A wreath will be on display as well as the urn of an unidentified youth shot in a senseless act of violence. Moore hopes that these bold reminders will make children and young adults see what can happen to them if they choose to behave violently.
“This wreath and urn will symbolize racial harmony and peace among all of us,” said Moore. “But I want children and young adults to see that this is what can happen to you. This is how you can end up. So parents, it’s time to take control of your children, be accountable, take responsibility, and be the parent you’re supposed to be.”
The motorcycle ride is the eighth for Abraham, who will make the trip on the back of a motorcycle of a member of the State Burners Motorcycle Club, whose riders will escort her and join other motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts in the tri-state area. Moore said Abraham is always willing to lend a hand to promote any of his activities that helps curb violence in Philadelphia. However the entire weekend is a tribute to slain Philadelphia police officers and their families. Their deaths and those of other Philadelphia citizens, are grim reminders to all Philadelphians who want gun violence to end.
