The really good side of Motorcycle riders

[ken]

I used to belong to a riding group (HanseBikers - HB) here in north Germany but dropped out because of my poor German language skills. I still maintain contact with some in the group and yesterday the HB’s had their yearly get together at their standard meeting point. I don’t know how many motorcycles, riders and onlookers showed up but the HB’s raised more than €6000 ($8500) for one of the hospitals that specializes in treating children with cancer. Some photos are posted at the link below:

A few years ago, one of the HBs died because of cancer and he died just months after his 21 year old daughter passed away of cancer as well. The meet is in memory of Jörg Nicolaisen and his efforts to raise money for the hospital.

The collection of folks at the meet boggle the mind with some nice folks, but some that would scare the hell out of me on a dark street. But all of them dug into their pockets and contributed to the good cause. Makes me proud of being a member of the motorcycle rider’s fraternity, knowing there are lots of good people out there.
