INDIANAPOLIS, IN (February 11, 2009) - This weekend, the RiderDown
Foundation is teaming with the BlueRibbon Coalition at the Dealer Expo in Indy.

 

The RiderDown Foundation (RDF) has procured two vintage, metal
signs which were inspired by Bruce Brown and the classic movie, “On Any Sunday”. The signs are framed in
a white mat and will be displayed at the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) Booth on
Saturday to gather autographs from a number of moto-heros. Saturday night, the
pictures will travel to the Trail Rider
Magazine/Wicked Motorsports party with Gonzo rider, Charlie Williams, for
more signatures. Sunday it’s back to the show for more autographs. RDF hopes
that Malcolm and others from On Any
Sunday will be there to sign the actual metal signs, while other luminaries
will autograph the outside mat border; creating what will truly become a
collector’s piece. Every person who autographs the artwork will be carefully recorded
(these champions know all about going fast, but signatures are often hard to
read).

 

“We will have trouble parting with these,” stated Bruce Vermeulen
of the RDF “but for the good of our causes we will forgo the temptation to
sneak them onto our office wall. We are planning to auction both pieces off
later to benefit both RiderDown.org and the BlueRibbon Coalition. So if you are
approached at the dealer show to sign some metal signs with Bruce Brown’s name
on them, be proud you made the cut and sign for the good of the sport!”

RDF would like to thank BRC for stepping up and helping with this,
as well as Josh Williams, Director of Pandemonium at Old Bob’s (visit www.OldBobs.com) for coming up with this
fantastic idea and handling all the details.
