Post 588 ALR Events Calendar
In the fall of 1993, the original American Legion Riders idea was a shared dream of then Post Commander Bill (Polka) Kaledas and Chuck (Tramp) Dare at Post 396 in Garden City, Michigan.
The idea was to start a motorcycle association that would operate within the American Legion. It consisted of members of the American Legion, Auxiliary and Sons of the Legion who shared an interest in motorcycling. it was meant to be a family oriented group. More can be read about the history of the American Legion Riders by clicking here.
Since then, several groups have been formed throughout the country. These American Legion motorcyclist groups all share a common interest...riding.
Riding...participating in parades and ceremonies promoting the mission and image of the American Legion.
Also, many groups have been instrumental in raising monies for numerous charities, contributing to those in need.
We are NOT a M/C! We don't practice M/C rules and regulations. We are an association, a group of American Legion members that ride for a cause.
Whether it is working together on Veteran's issues, participating in a local parade as a motorcycle color guard, raising monies for a charity or cruising together on a beautiful fall colored highway, the American Legion Riders program has provided a lot of enjoyment for those members who share a common interest in motorcycling.
If you are a veteran that may or may not be a member of the American Legion and loves the "freedom of the road" on two wheels (and sometimes even three), then check out our site and contact us. We'd love to have you!
