Who we Are

Our membership is made up of riders from The American Legion family.  We meet the first Saturday of every month at 10:00AM and ride afterwards.


We support our Post, our Veterans, and our community with fundraising events throughout the year. These events include:

Derby Day Ride

 An annual event that supports a multitude of Programs and Charities of the American Legion Riders.  This year's event will be held on May 6th .

Funeral Escorts

We provide motorcycle escorts for Veterans and their families to National Cemeteries, when requested by their families.  This year we have provided escorts several times.

Hams on Hogs

An annual event that supports Veterans Coalition Food Baknk  with donation of hams and funds ensuring that our Veterans have a holiday dinner. This year's event was held on November 5th.  

Wreaths For Fallen Heroes

We partner with our brother AML Post 237, in raising money to purchase wreaths and remembering our fellow fallen Veterans by placing the wreaths on grave sites at Bushnell National Cemetery during the Holiday season.   This year's ride event toke place on December 18th
