Rise Above featured on The Moto Attic

Rise Above series one Portland will be featured on http://themotoattic.com/pages/rise_above and sold as limited edition photo sets 1/10 numbered and signed by David Frost and also includes the riders story. Proceeds of the sales for these prints will go to The Motorcycle Travel America Foundation, which helps the families of downed riders especially the children from these families.

Thank you everyone who supports this project and keep spreading the news.

I hope everyone rides safe this 4th of July and has a great holiday!

For everyone who did not make it last night the show will be up at see see's for two months stop in grab a coffee and read some stories and check out some photos. Thank you also to everyone that worked the event last night you all kicked ass!

Interview #5 Richard E Jones

     If the first word out of a child's mouth is Kawasaki you know they are going to love motorcycles forever. In the case of Richard Jones it is true. His affinity for two wheels is what gives him lust for life. While falling in love with his first Ducati, a 796 Dark Hypermotard, Richard was struck by a Ford F550 that was turning out of a graveyard. He lost his leg from the knee down, but continues to ride almost every day with a prosthetic. Death has been something he has avoided multiple times, and as one great poet said, "Don't Fear the Reaper". (hear his story below)
