On The Road With AIDS Awareness: Stories from the chopper charity tour 4

The recent sunny weather spells can only mean one thing— golf season is almost here for British Columbia. We at Vancouver Chopper love to golf, but this year we’re so focused on our work with the 2008 AIDS Awareness Custom Chopper Tour that we would like to bring our prize motorcycles to the local tournaments instead of our golf clubs.

It’s not normal practice to ride our badass choppers onto a golf course, but we have done it before and man is it fun, so we’d love to do it again. Not just for us, the riders, but for the golfers too. As everyone knows where we go our chopper girls go and what could be better than approaching the hole to line up your shot and having one of our chopper girls greet you at the tees? Of course there are also the custom choppers decorating the course, which can make for a brief but fun distraction from a sometimes very intense game.

We have had a few invites to courses all over BC but we are always looking for more. We’re also spreading the word about our great cause and we need to expand past trade shows and drinking establishments. I’m not saying that golfers are the highest-at-risk crowd but they certainly can pitch in and help, I’ve seen them do it in the past and man they are good people. Not to mention the spread of this disease can touch any demographic at any time. Every two hours in Canada someone contracts HIV. The people who are contracting this disease all have parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, girlfriends, boyfriends and friends who hold them close to their hearts. I’d hate to come across a golfer who has lost someone they love to AIDS this season but as is the case everywhere I go, I know I will.

If you or someone you know are participating in a golf tournament this summer we would love to bring our big-hearted choppers to participate. We guarantee they will have fun with us and we won’t talk during their back swing.
