It is a requirement of Camp Pendleton that all motorcyclists wear long sleeves, gloves, and over the ankle shoes when riding on the base. On behalf of the Orange Coast HOG Chapter, thank you very much for your support of the Warriors. They ask for so little and together we can do so much to make their recovery a little easier. I look forward to riding with you on November 2nd.

Sincerely-
