We want to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s Kyle Kotzen Memorial Poker Run a successful day.
First, to all of our stops that opened their doors and welcomed our riders — thank you! You gave everyone a place to get out of the Tennessee heat, enjoy some much-needed cold AC, look around, grab some food and drinks, and spend some time together. Your hospitality and continued support of what we do means more than you know.
To our NSBMA members who volunteered and worked the stops — THANK YOU. Events like this simply don’t happen without volunteers willing to show up early, work registration, hand out cards, sell tickets, answer questions, and do all the little things behind the scenes that keep everything moving. We appreciate every one of you.
And to every rider, member, friend, and supporter who participated — whether you bought a scoresheet, purchased raffle or prize tickets, donated, supported one of our stops, or just spent a hot August day putting miles on the bike with us — THANK YOU.
When we say we can’t do what we do without you guys, we mean it.
Every person who comes out helps us continue building this Brotherhood, supporting our community, and most importantly, continuing to Tell the Tales and Speak the Names.
At the heart of this weekend was the opportunity to ride in memory of Kyle Kotzen.
We ride motorcycles. We laugh. We tell stories. We make new friends ,and reconnect with old ones
But along the way, we remember.
And we make sure the names — and the people behind those names — are never forgotten.
🇺🇸 WHAT’S NEXT?
🏍️ Fat Daddy’s Run — September 12th
We hope to see everyone back out there riding with us!
We also have an important update regarding our monthly NSBMA meetings.
Moving forward, our meetings will coincide with the Night Stalker Association’s Thirsty Thursdays. We’ll meet every third Thursday of the month at Rage N Axe, conduct our NSBMA business, and then join the Thirsty Thursday crew.
This gives us an opportunity to spend more time with fellow Night Stalkers, Veterans, Gold Star Families, friends, and supporters while continuing to strengthen the camaraderie and community that this organization is all about.
Because the Brotherhood isn’t supposed to exist only during a meeting or motorcycle ride.
Sometimes it’s simply sitting around a table together, telling stories, laughing, checking on one another, and enjoying each other’s company.
That’s the Brotherhood part of the NightStalkers Brotherhood Motorcycle Association.
So one more time…
Thank you to our stops.
Thank you to our volunteers.
Thank you to our members.
Thank you to our supporters.
And thank you to everyone who rode with us in memory of Kyle Kotzen.
We appreciate you, and we never want anyone to think we take your support for granted.
Tell the Tales.
Speak the Names.
