Nick's Ride on April 19th in Marlborough, MA

Join us for "Nick's Ride," Sunday, April 19, at the Moose Lodge, 67 Fitchburg Street, in Marlborough as greater MetroWest area riders and groups have joined with the MMSF, SEMMSF and BVMSF to honor Nick "Dino" Butler, and raise some funds for his daughter's educational scholarship fund and launch a greater "MetroWest" division of the Massachusetts Motorcyclists Survivor's Fund, to help promote motorcycle safety and awareness to reduce motorcycle accidents and assist local families of riders killed and/or seriously injured in accidents.

"Riders helping Riders." Non-riders are welcomed but cars cannot participate in the Ride. This is a family friendly Event - bring the children and grand kids !

See www.MassMSF.org for more info, a downloadable flyer for the event, and for advance ride tickets and donations.

Nick was killed on April 21, 2006, just three weeks after his daughter (Samantha's) 1st Birthday, when a very young driver turned left in front of his oncoming motorcycle. Christine has testified at the State House in support of the increased penalties bill.
