A former motorcycle racer is revved to bring some support to fellow riders struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Richard Day was a national level racer, who faced a fair share of crashes that did more than break skin and bones. Not to mention all the near misses he faced on the track and the roads.
But it’s nothing compared to the toll that PTSD plays on veterans and first responders. And he wants to help. Day is part of the Okies Motorcycle Club, which has been gathering for approximately 20 years “in a small way.”
Now called the Okie Dokeys, Day is opening the club up to more people for November. Anyone with a bike is urged to come to the Bean Scene on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 12 p.m., but particularly veteran and first responder riders. “Our main mandate is to talk motorcycles and support people with PTSD,” said Day, encouraging anyone who sees the group of bikes at this or other coffee shops to just pull on in.
