Black Bikers Experience

Please read this article and tell me what you think. Do you feel the National Bikers Roundup organization should have funded this program all by themselves due to the revenue they make off black bikers every year?

I do! We continue to support this event without thinking about what they are giving back to the biker community after grossing millions of dollars. Do you think they should donate a portion of their proceeds from the National Bikers Roundup to God’s Wheels and not solicit the bike community at the event?

  

Bikers roundup charity donates more than 33 tons of food

The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, formerly the Central Missouri Food Bank, recently gained a lot of weight — more than 33 tons.

God’s Wheels, a motorcycle ministry and the official charity of the National Bikers Roundup, collected money and nonperishable food from people and motorcycle clubs during the roundup. The donations to the food bank came in the forms of cash, checks made payable to the food bank and cans and boxes of food.

For every dollar it receives, the food bank can buy 20 pounds of food. Through that formula, and with the additional donation of non-perishables, the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri collected 66,563 pounds of food.

On Saturday evening, the Harley Davidson Motor Co. presented the food bank with a check for $2,500. The presentation, held on the main outdoor stage, was part of a set of live events including music performances and a fashion show.

God’s Wheels has been the official charity of the National Bikers Roundup since 1998. Harry Gumby, the founder and national president of God’s Wheels, established the motorcycle ministry four months after leaving his secular motorcycle club.

God’s Wheels collects money and goods on behalf of the local food bank in the hosting city of the roundup. Gumby said everything collected, except for some perishable food that was discarded, goes directly to the food bank.

Gumby called God’s Wheels “a good way to feed America,” because the roundup travels to a different hosting state every year.

Mike Desantis, a development associate at the Columbia-based food bank, said the organization was present at the roundup every day, transporting that day’s collectibles back to the food bank in vans and trucks.

Although the food bank does not serve people food directly, it services 132 agencies and 80 schools throughout 32 counties in central and northeast Missouri, according to its website.

Gumby said donating food for the underprivileged in the local hosting community is important to God’s Wheels.

“It’s not that we are just coming to take,” he said. “We are coming to give.”

The run will start at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Skip Fordyce Harley-Davidson, 7688 Indiana Ave., Riverside, CA and include stops at five locations before ending with a barbecue at Corona Harley-Davidson at 1:30 p.m. Registration is $20 per bike, and women who wear corsets get $5 off. A corset costume contest and other prizes are planned.

MUST CONTACT ME ASAP!

I have been contacted on numerous occasions about rooms for the National Bikers Roundup in Columbia, Missouri. Well I have some great news that I have located available rooms, however the location is about 50 miles out. The rate is well worth it and the rooms are held through my corporate account rate of $38.28 a night from August 3rd through August 8th.
  

This is one reason I’ve informed everyone before to setup an account with CheckINN Direct to save on rooms where ever you may travel. The location is Super 8 Motel and I have a block of rooms, 60 to be exact. So if you are in need of rooms I need you to contact me via email at goldie@goldie1779blackbikers.com.
  

The key code “BlackBikers” has been reactivated with CheckINN Direct so you can setup your account. I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity. As you see it does work to have it because this is how I am able to help you.
  

I will know by next week if I will have more rooms available at a new Motel that’s only 24 minutes from the Roundup Location; much closer in Kingdom City. They will have 60 rooms and I have reserved all of the rooms to help everyone who doesn’t have rooms yet. The rate for the rooms will be comparable to the rate at Super 8 Motel; around $35.00 to $55.00 per night. It is imperative that you continue to check my website to see when rooms are available and I will give you the code to reserve your rooms.
  

Let me be very clear the rooms will be paid by you on your credit card. Each person will be responsible for your own amenities and room rate. All I am doing is making it convenient for those who couldn’t find rooms available for the event. My other website is Goldie’s Black Bikers Experience.
  

I was told that one of the best places to eat in Kingdom City, MO is Panhead Billy’s. They are very reasonable and they’re looking forward to us coming and celebrating with us. They are biker friendly and you can tell by the name Panhead.
