Windy City Motorcycle Company has partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Hines VA Hospital, and the Veterans Crisis Line to host a special Chicago rolling tribute ride on Saturday, September 14th – to honor our nation’s veterans and first responders.
As part of Harley-Davidson® Motor Company’s national Salute To Service weekend, Windy City’s first-ever PATRIOTS & PROTECTORS VA RIDE will be routed THROUGH Hines VA Hospital campus to honor American veterans who are receiving care or residing on the campus. Hundreds of motorcyclists from across the region are expected to participate, in an effort to generate awareness, support, and fundraising for veteran healthcare services and veteran su***de prevention efforts.
While the ride will be led by Harley-Davidson® motorcycles, Chicago-area riders of all motorcycle makes and models are invited to join this rolling tribute ride to honor those who keep us safe, and allow us all to ride free.
