WHAT IS GOOD RIDE RALLY?
IT REALLY ISN’T ABOUT WHAT WE DO, IT’S WHO WE DO IT FOR.

Good Ride is a motorcycle charity ride that focuses on what motorcycles are all about – getting out on the open road with your friends and checking out new destinations – all for good causes.

Good Ride is a 501(c)(3) charity that was started by freestyle motocross rider, turned street bike builder and hooligan racer, Carey Hart that focuses on key charities close to Carey’s heart. The intention of Good Ride is to give back while doing what he loves to do – ride motorcycles!

We are proud to continue our work with Infinite Hero, a military charity that gives back 100%. Proceeds from our Good Ride rallies will go directly to helping veterans in need.

This ride is for ANYONE who loves to ride motorcycles and raise money for a good cause.

This year will see the return of Good Ride in Arizona, Sturgis and Las Vegas.

We look forward to riding with you!
