You may have
heard about the movie "Why We Ride," released last year.
According to the movie website, "Why We
Ride is a story about who we are. Individuals with a desire to dream, discover
and explore. From a kid’s dream come true, to a retiree’s return to freedom.
From a family riding together on the sand dunes, to hundreds of choppers
carving through the canyons – the bond is the same. It’s about the passion of
the riders and the soul of their machines."
You may have
already seen the movie - you may even already own the DVD.
Or, you
might not have heard of it at all. (In
that case, check out the trailer!)

WHY WE RIDE FILM on
Vimeo.
But this
movie isn't only for people who ride.
It's for people who love people
who ride. It's for people who might ride someday. It's for people who just plain don't understand, and short of riding yourself, it's
your best chance of understanding.
If you
already ride, if you already know why YOU ride, it's an opportunity to share
your passion with a friend who may not understand why you get up at 7am on a cool
Sunday morning, just to get your face in the wind for a few early hours of
"therapy."
So while you
could watch it at home, the Bike Night at
the Union County Performing Arts Center won't be like watching it in your
living room. You'll be surrounded by
people who understand the answer to the title question. For the price of a ticket, you get 2 hours of
live music by Raze the Bar, barbecue,
beverages, and hanging out with other bikers - and then you get to see the Why We Ride movie on the big screen. And hey, bring a friend. :)
Join us Thursday,
May 8 at 6pm for a celebration of riding. Advance tickets are recommended, and are available at the UCPAC Box Office, online at www.ucpac.org, or in person at Liberty Harley-Davidson.
