Tomorrow, Sunday, November 11, Love Ride #18 will roll out of Harley-Davidson of Glendale for a 50-mile jaunt to the Castaic Lake Recreation Center in Santa Clarita, California, with Grand Marshall Jay Leno leading the way. Love Ride is billed as the largest motorcycle fund raising event in the world with a projected 20,000 participants and over $1 million expected to be raised for the Los Angeles Times’ “Reading By 9” literacy program, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and other charities.

The police-escorted ride through closed city streets will end with a Tony Roma barbecue, a trade show, skydiving, drill exhibitions, stunt shows, a concert, a raffle drawing with a grand prize of a 2002 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 SuperCrew truck and the opportunity to meet celebrities like Leno, Peter Fonda, Billy Idol, Larry Hagman and Willie G. Davidson.
