THANK YOU
As we close the book on the 4th Annual James “Whiskers” Dotter Memorial Ride, this year's thank-you post is a little harder to write.
First and foremost, we want to sincerely thank everyone who came out to support us. To the riders who joined us, the vendors who spent the day with us, the businesses and individuals who donated, our friends and families who helped behind the scenes, and everyone who simply stopped by to spend some time with us — thank you.
We had around 30 motorcycles come together to ride in Whiskers' memory, and seeing that group lined up Saturday morning meant more to us than we can put into words.
Unfortunately, this year's ride didn't go entirely according to plan. During the ride, two of our own riders were involved in an accident and sustained injuries. Thankfully, both are alive and recovering.
We cannot say enough about the people who immediately stepped up when things went wrong those who stopped to help, checked on our injured riders, helped keep everyone safe, and helped us navigate a difficult situation. That is what community and brotherhood are about.
Not every part of the day turned out exactly as we envisioned, but that's okay. At the end of the day, people came together, friendships were strengthened, stories were shared, and we accomplished the most important thing we set out to do:
We remembered Whiskers.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the 4th Annual James “Whiskers” Dotter Memorial Ride possible and to everyone who continues to support Grim Legion LEMC.
We'll heal, bikes will be rebuilt, and we'll ride again.
Ride for Whiskers. Ride in Honor.
