This is to announce a motorcycle survival class to be held for Gruene Chapter HOG members and interested guests at Circus Bingo, Saturday, August 24, at 10:00 am – 11:30 am .
We are excited to host a presentation by Mr. Jude Schexnyder on Motorcycle Survival. Jude is a lifetime rider and motorcycling advocate who retired from the Texas Department of Public Safety with 30 years of service. His presentation provides an honest, no BS discussion about how riders are getting injured and killed in Texas and how it is avoidable by using several easy to use strategies. Jude’s presentation comes highly recommended by the HOG chapter of Cowboy Harley, in Beaumont.
Check out Jude’s Motorcycle Survival article that appeared in the Spring 2019 edition of Ride Texas Magazine found here:
