Despite his father's initial disapproval, Larry eventually got his first Harley in his early twenties.
When asked about his preparation for his cross-country trip, Larry explains that he built a teardrop trailer to have a place to sleep during his journey. He spent a summer building the trailer, modifying it to work with his bike. Larry embarked on his trip in October 2014, heading south and then west, avoiding highways and opting for back roads to fully experience the country. He visited various places, including West Virginia, Montana, Nashville, San Diego, and Austin, among others. Larry highlights the beauty of West Virginia and Montana, as well as the charm of cities like Nashville and San Diego.
Larry also shares an interesting story from his trip in Bozeman, Montana, where he accidentally left his journal at a stranger's house. Despite his efforts to retrieve it, he was unable to find it. Larry mentions that he has rewritten most of the journal but hopes to recover the original writings someday. He also discusses his plans to write a book about his trip, incorporating pictures to accompany the stories.
When asked about advice for those considering a cross-country trip, Larry emphasizes the kindness of people he encountered along the way and encourages others to embrace the journey and be open to new experiences. He also mentions a book called The Gold Book, which connects motorcycle riders across the country and offers various levels of assistance and hospitality.
Towards the end of the episode, Larry reveals a significant event that occurred after his cross-country trip. Just two miles away from his home, he was involved in a motorcycle accident where he was hit by a car. Despite sustaining injuries, Larry considers himself fortunate to have survived the accident.

Dr. Acierno and his team decided to step in and continue providing free dental care to veterans on Veterans Day.
The event offers a wide range of dental services, including extractions, fillings, crown and bridge work, dentures, cleanings, and periodontal work. The team of volunteers, including dentists and hygienists, work together to provide much-needed dental care to veterans in need. Last year alone, they provided over $100,000 worth of dentistry for free.
Dr. Acierno encourages veterans to visit the website www.decisiononedental.com/vets to schedule an appointment for the event. The website provides contact information, including an email address and an 800 number, for veterans to reach out and secure their appointment. The event is scheduled for November 4th, and Dr. Acierno is excited to have the most volunteers and patients yet this year.
The episode concludes with a reminder to spread the word about the event and to reach out to Decision One Dental for any dental needs, whether you are a veteran or not.

David "Vegas" Shuman here with “because, bikers matter!” ® Podcast. In this episode, host David Vegas Shuman meets with Ken Hardison; Founder & President of National Academy of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers .
Insurance is often thought of as a way to protect our property, such as a car or a home. However, insurance can also protect our bodies. In the event of a motorcycle accident, having the right insurance coverage can make all the difference in terms of medical treatment and recovery. Without the right insurance, the costs associated with medical care and other expenses can be overwhelming. This is why it is so important to have the right coverage in place.
Montoya is doing a great job in helping to provide medical treatment, equipment, and funds to those who have been involved in motorcycle accidents. Her charity, Biker Down, is helping to provide financial consulting and emotional support to those who have been injured or lost a loved one. They are also providing medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, crutches, and hospital beds, to those who need it.
Having the right insurance coverage is essential in protecting yourself and your family. It is important to research and understand the different types of coverage available, as well as the associated costs. Montoya and Biker Down are doing a great job in helping to provide medical treatment, equipment, and funds to those who have been involved in motorcycle accidents. By taking the time to research and understand the different types of coverage available, we can ensure that our bodies are well protected in the event of an accident. Key time stamps below:

David "Vegas" Shuman here with “because, bikers matter!” ® Podcast. This week I sit down, at an undisclosed location with the founder of Ride Janie Ride Foundation, Luke Pennings.
The Ride Janie Ride Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2007 to support those affected by cancer. The foundation was started by Luke Pennings and his friends, who wanted to help a lifelong Downers Grove resident, Janie Balwell, who was afflicted with cancer in 2006. Janie needed a stem cell transplant and her insurance company would not cover all of the out-of-pocket expenses. So the group of motorcycle enthusiasts decided to put together a “pop-up ride” to help raise money for Janie.
The first ride in 2007 was a huge success, with 750 riders attending. The group had no idea how many people would show up, and were surprised by the turnout. The ride was coordinated with the help of local law enforcement, and the route was changed so that it passed by Janie’s house. Janie, who had just had her stem cell transplant and could not attend the ride, was able to wave to all the motorcycles as they passed by. This experience was the start of the Ride Janie Ride Foundation, and it changed the purpose of the ride from just raising money to providing emotional support to those battling cancer.
Since then, the foundation has grown and expanded, with more rides and events being held each year. The foundation also has a nomination process, where people can nominate someone they know who is battling cancer and could use the foundation’s help. The website, which was built by Luke Pennings in two weeks, is now hosted on the Member Buzz platform, and allows people to sign up for rides, buy merchandise, and more.
The Ride Janie Ride Family Foundation has been a great support to those affected by cancer, and has helped many people in their fight against the disease. The foundation is a testament to the power of community, and shows that even in difficult times, people can come together to help others in need.

David "Vegas" Shuman here with Because Bikers Matter Podcast. If you're a biker and never heard of the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis then are you really even a biker? I had the exceptional opportunity to talk to the Founder, President & CEO of @SturgisBuffaloChip ; Rod "Woody" Woodruff. His story of starting Buffalo Chip is aligned with our why on being so passionate supporting the Motorcycle community. Woody and I swap stories of how great the motorcycle community is towards supporting very important causes.
Since 1981, Woody has transformed what was once 20 acres of land into a 600-acre entertainment destination. Top name entertainment acts consistently fill The Chip’s concert lineup year after year, including icons like Aerosmith, Bob Dylan, Kid Rock and Ozzy Osbourne. Initially, Woody continued to maintain an active law practice and develop real estate for 20 years before turning all of his time to maintaining one of the top party venues in America affectionately known as The Best Party Anywhere®. Woody has turned the Buffalo Chip into the Largest Music Festival in Motorcycling®. His wife Carol and his children Daymon and Toni also assist in the management of the Buffalo Chip.
