Black Bikers Experience

I got a message the other day on Facebook from a woman who is struggling financially and doesn’t have money to buy things for her kids for Christmas. I asked her to send me a wish list and told her I would post her letter on my website.

  

I am asking all bikers around the country if you can help share with this family by making Christmas happen for her kids. I encourage you to purchase the items and get them to her if you can.

  

Goldie I am reaching out to you and the biker community for assistance with Christmas, I know it is late in the season but I have tried many other unsuccessful resources til this point. I am a single mom of two (10yr old boy/ 14 yr old girl) and I am unemployed any assistance will greatly be appreciated, because right now they have nothing.

  

I have reached out to United Way, Toys for tots, Salvation Army, Clayton County Board of Commissioners, a few local churches and the items they had collected were for smaller children ages2-8. I had already purchased most of this stuff last week, and I had it at a friends house til the kids would be gone and I could bring it home to get it ready for them since they are older and nosey. Her house was robbed this past Sunday morning, and they do not carry insurance on their residence.

  

So as of right now they have nothing any little bit will certainly help. I am in the Jonesboro area of Clayton County, and I can be contacted by phone 404-857-5031 or email www.atlprncs25@yahoo.com and I am always available. I really open to any help that can be offered at this time.

  

Thank you in advance,
Tiffany “Tip” Lewis

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.”

This is not a joke. The next land speed record car is currently being designed and constructed in Bristol, UK. The Bloodhound SSC is set to supersede the Thrust SSC, and is targeted to break 1000mph! That’s 1.4 mach, or 1.4 times the speed of sound! And it will be piloted by a human driver! Can you imagine driving at 1000mph!

  

All you speed junkies, I bet you won’t dare attempt to ride this fast. Check out the videos; it actually blew my mind when I saw how fast the simulated car was traveling against a fighter a jet. Unbelievable! The test runs will be held on salt flats here in the US, and the car will be powered by a Eurofighter Typhoon Eurojet and a Falcon Rocket, which will themselves be supported by a V12 800bhp Racing Engine!

  

Go experience the Bloodhound SSC right here, right now!
