We are kinda late in getting this up here but in May StopBully.com began a Western Canada, Washington, Oregon and California Motorcycle Ride to raise awareness for the program and web site - it originated and completed in Calgary. For this inaugural event there were only three motorcyclists for the complete trip and one support team member hauling the the trailer and doing photography. The first picture is Day 2 and is a stop in Kelowna, featuing the three riders from left to right Corey Ripley (President - UltraKOR Group), Shawn Fisher (ING/Intact - Insurer for SopBully.com) , and Cory Fish - (Ex - Administrator for the program from the early years).
The event had two main sponsors - TheUltraKOR Group of Companies (Agents for Foundation Capital Corporation) and Don LaingTrailers of Crossfield and Ponoka (Our deepest sympathies go out to Don Laing Trailers, as their Founder and President Don Laing himself passed away a couple of weeks ago in a freak accident. Don and his staff have been extremely supportive of our program and they have been our exclusive supplier of all our event trailers across Western Canada and Don himself was a key factor in making this trip happen - We will miss him)
All fuel expenses and personal expenses were paid out of pocket by the riders themselves. The second picture is a brief stop in Abortsford before going south into Washington and here we were joined by Jared Bargen who helps with sponsorship canvassing in the Lower Mainland - he is on his 2001 Honda CBR600 (A requirement :) as all the bikes used on the trip were Honda CBR600's).
