The bikes are everyday riding motorcycles built to be displayed at many events to honor our veterans for memorial events and holidays including funeral escorts at no cost. We self-funded a project (Hobby) that started with the building the Air Force Tribute Bike called The Chief. This bike was originally a gift for my husband's 50th birthday so naturally it was a good start for the project. The A
ir Force Tribute Bike was built in memory of my father who had then recently passed away. He was a retired Air Force Chief. We were traveling all over the state of Florida putting the bike on display at no cost to others to honor all that have and are still serving our great nation. This bike became so popular partly because it was featured in the 2018 edition of American Iron Salute. We had no intention of building any more bikes, but we soon found ourselves having to build a second bike, The Army Tribute Bike. The Army Tribute Bike was named Sargent Major and was built to fulfil the demand of multiple venues at the same time. The Army Tribute Bike is also referred to as the 911 Tribute Bike. We also had to buy a new truck and trailer to transport them. Because of the increasing demand to have the bikes at larger and more frequent events requiring multiple bikes we had to build the third bike. The Navy Tribute Bike named Top Gun which is also referred to as the Ranger Tribute Bike (Vietnam era). Because so many people were asking "Where is the Marine Bike?" The Marine Bike named Dress Blues is the 4th bike. It is designed by Dan Kite Pinstriping. Originally when we started, we were not an organization of any kind, so we did not solicit for or accept cash donations. We accomplished all of this with the help of our many friends, sponsors and The Military Tribute Bikers. All of whom will still help with supplies, discounts on parts and man (and female) power. The Military Tribute Bikers have taken over and Military Tribute Bikes and will soon be a 501(c)(3). They hope to add a 5th (Coast Guard Bike) in the future. They now added a 2nd trailer large enough to haul 6 bikes. The original 4 bikes will remain privately owned and will be loaned to The Military Tribute Bikes for different events at no cost. "It's not about us, it's about the bikes and the people they honor." The bikes will be displayed at many events to honor our veterans for memorial events and holidays including funeral escorts at no cost. Our Number One Goal Is Safety Comes First.
