Last July Donna and I attended Roar on the Shore for the first time. We had a blast unlike the above mentioned bike events ROS picks a charity and donates a lion share of the money taken in to it. Last year the charity was the Flight 93 memorial. The people of Erie embrace this event and the bikers who make the pilgrimage. The area is great Lake Erie is a great reasource fishing and water sports abound. The reasturants are well priced as well as the lodging. For those who smoke Cigerettes are inexpensive and bars allow smoking. Inspite of our current woes I have convinced Donna that we should at least do this event. Hope to see some Vision and Victory Riders Trekwolf164 Posted 2012-02-01 8:56 PM (#106626 - in reply to #106532) Subject: Re: Roar on the Shore Erie PA July 19,20, & 21 Iron Butt Posts: 965 New York State http://blog.arlenness.com/media/blogs/ness/flight_g.jpg Found this tally of 2011 Roar on the Shore proceeds The Flight 93 tribute motorcycle designed by bike builder Arlen Ness sold for $50,000 at the nationally televised Barrett-Jackson auction on Jan. 22 in Scottsdale, Ariz. Proceeds benefited the 2011 Roar on the Shore charity -- the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville. Roar on the Shore organizers said the motorcycle was purchased by Scott Madsen, brother-in-law of TV talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw. Madsen is a producer for the "Dr. Phil'' show and for CBS/Paramount. Bob Johnson, a Georgia businessman, bought the bike for $40,000 in May 2011 at the Mecum Auto Auction and re-donated the motorcycle for auction at the Barrett-Jackson auction. The auction capped a year of Flight 93 campaign fundraising by Roar on the Shore organizers. In September, Roar on the Shore organizers presented Flight 93 campaign officials with a $250,000 check. The money came from proceeds from the 2011 Roar on the Shore motorcycle rally held July 14-16 in downtown Erie, and the Let's Roll Flight 93 Memorial Ride Sept. 10-12, in which 300 riders from Pennsylvania traveled to Shanksville for the memorial dedication on the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
