Motorcycle Missions Builds Custom Strider for the 2019 Flying Piston Benefit
Why Motorcycle Missions builds custom Strider? Because the non-profit has been a beneficiary of The Flying Piston Benefit for several years so when tiny Strider Customs became part of the program, the MM Team wanted to participate. With a common objective, a shop full of tools, and enough comedic relief among them, there is no task the MM team can’t accomplish.
Motorcycle Missions, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, helps veterans and first responders who deal with PTS(D) and suicidal ideation find hope and healing through motorcycles.

When dealing with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the need for purpose, camaraderie, and adrenaline is of the utmost importance.
