Freedom Riders Motorcycle Classic roars into Bismarck – KFYR-TV

BISMARCK, ND - With RV's out front, guns across the hall, and a floor full of beautiful bikes the Freedom Riders Motorcycle Classic brought together fans of the road from across North Dakota.

This family friendly event brings in thousands of all shapes, sizes, and ages.

"We love our community, we love our veterans, and we're here, we're doing it," said Derick Roller, Bike Show Chairman.

The Freedom Riders 37 Motorcycle Classic is a place for camaraderie and some well-made rides.

"We do this because we love our community. We've been a club now for 40 years, and we try to get together and do stuff for our community every year, and for the last 37 this is one of the biggest things we can do to give back to the community," said Roller.

The Show included 56 bikes from the BisMan community on display.

"The one that we have behind us, The Indian, another beautiful motorcycle. I can't say enough about the iron that we have in the show, and what a great job the community does in getting their bikes up to speed, in shape, and cleaned up for this show. It's just amazing," said Damian Bean, the President of the Freedom Riders.

Proceeds from the show are going towards Disabled American Veterans and other local charities.

"They help veterans with medical things, housing, with scholarships. They help disabled vets get around, get to medical appointments out of the city and in other areas. Every penny that we donate to them, it goes to their cause and they use it," Roller says.

In the last decade the Bike Show has raised more than $350,000 for the organizations that it supports.

For those that missed out today, the bike show will run from 10-2 tomorrow, and will include the award ceremony for the machines.
