Everyone Invited This Saturday to Riding Into History

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Last year more than 4,000 people turned out for Riding Into History.

This Saturday at the World Golf Village you can see hundreds of bikes from all over the country. The theme this year is the American bike.

That's perfect for Harley lovers.

Riding Into History benefits Buddy Check 12. All proceeds help us fight breast cancer. So far Riding Into History has donated $170,000 to Buddy Check 12.

The goal this year is to top $200,000 in total donations.

Bill Robinson, event guru and bike historian, says the day is perfect for families.

It's just $10 at the gate. The bike concours (show) is from 10-4.

An added twist this year will be Painter John, as he's called. He'll be pinstriping any bike for half his custom rate.

That means for $100 you can have a custom design painted--by hand--on your bike. The designs look perfect, as if a computer robot applied them.

But Painter John does all of it by hand---with a brush made of squirrel hair.

They'll also be a mini chopper auctioned off. The bike is a donation from Chopper City.

Plus, Dennis Gage from The Speed Channel will be on hand to sign autographs and talk about motorcycles.

And, if you choose, you can take part in a charity ride Saturday morning and a Bikers' Ball Saturday evening.
