One of my rider friends and myself took a ride down to the Motorcyclist Memorial in Hopedale Ohio last weekend. It's a memorial to those riders who have died doing what they love....riding. Admission to the memorial is free, if you ever get close to south east Ohio, You owe it to yourself to pay a visit.
This is the gazebo at the entrance to the memorial. The Yam cruiser is my daily rider, I save my XS650 for short trips.
This is the brick path leading to the memorial, you can buy a brick for $50.00 which helps support the memorial. The memorial is non-profit.
This black marble slab was imported from India, it was etched by the lady rider shown on the back motorcycle, the rider shown on the first bike was her husband who died on his bike.
This pretty much explains itself, it cost $150.00 to add a name to the memorial:
The detail work on the stone motorcycle is excellent:
It may appear that the memorial is for Harley riders, but one of the founders of the memorial assures me that it makes no difference which brand of motorcycle you or your loved one rides, all motorcyclist are welcome. This post may not interest you, but I had some time, so I thought I'd share it with you. I have been actively riding for 53 years and this is the first time I have seen anything like the memorial.
