Blessing of the Bikes

By Ron Lee
Cave Junction, OR – Saturday, May 15, 2010 motorcycle rider Stan Strange (below) officiated the Southern Oregon ‘Blessing of the Bikes’ where an estimated 70 riders were in attendance.
This annual event draws riders from all around the Illinois Valley and beyond to partake in a prayer for safe travels as well as to adorn their motorcycles with ‘Demon Bells’ – chimes blessed and used to keep evil at bay.
This year was of particular importance as they paid homage to a fallen brother.
It was, indeed, an honor to attend.
