One of the greatest joy of John’s life was riding his motorcycle. From the time he was young he had a love for the road that only grew stronger over the years, the bikes got bigger, the rides got longer, and the stories were more unforgettable. he rode through every season, in sunshine and snow. He was proud to be a member of the Ramapo Motorcycle Club, riding wasn’t just a hobby for him it was his peace, his freedom and one of the ways he connected with the world and his riding friends.
