The Legacy Ride Motorcycle Rides Again! –
The Legacy Ride Motorcycle is presently on its way back to
California for a large ride to benefit MDA in the Central Valley on
October 2, 2005. Thanks to bike shipper Daily Direct for making this possible.
On the way, Jeffrey Davidson Schrager will participate in a
special commemorative ride in Denver, Colorado honoring those
Airline Crew Members who perished in the line of duty on September
11, 2001 aboard UAL flights 93 and 175 and American Airlines flights
11 and 77.
The ride is called RIDE911.COM with a
website of the same name. Click the link for more information. To quote from their
website:
"September 11, 2001 marked an event that would forever
change our nation and the way in which we live our daily lives. This
horrific event left a scar on this nation that can never be healed,
we must never forget.
Our nations pilots are now not only flying some of the
most high tech equipment in the world but are also having to defend
the integrity of their ship so it may never be used as a weapon of
destruction against this great nation. Our In-flight crews through
vigilance and awareness are the first line of defense so hopefully
the pilots won’t have to be the last. Our ground crews are also a
vital link in the safety of our everyday routine. The training that
each and every one of these groups has gone through keeps our skies
safe.
The 9/11 ride is in remembrance of our brothers and
sisters who have fallen and for the ones who make it happen
everyday, keeping the traveling public and our nations skies
safe."
Bike to be Re-listed on
Ebay! – The Legacy Ride
Motorcycle was previously listed on Ebay and the auction was
ended early due to the fact that it should've been listed through
the GivingWorks side of Ebay and not
through the main site. Even though we didn't know it at the
time of the original listing, Ebay already had all the
infrastructure in place to handle the sort of charity transaction we
needed. We are now waiting on MDA to get registered
with MissionFish (who handles the charity
side of Ebay) and then we will re-list the bike. This
improved listing will hopefully make for a more seemless and easier
transaction for the winning bidder and preserve our ability to
benefit MDA at the same time.
Our apologies to all who had bid on the
bike previously and wish you all good luck when this special
motorcycle is re-offered. The opening bid will still
be $1 and the reserve will be set at my cost. Anything over the
reserve will become a donation on behalf of the winning bidder
directly to MDA.
Check back often for the lastest info for your
chance to own this one-of-a-kind motorcycle that has a legacy and a
history all its own.
