Johns Motorcycle News has always supported charities and good causes and is fully appreciative of how lucky we are to be able to have good health and to be able to enjoy the open roads and the freedom of riding our motorcycles.
For those a lot younger and/or for those whom, through accident, injury or illness have become a lot less fortunate than ourselves, we encourage everyone to lend their support in enhancing their lives and experiences.
Over the years, altogether, be it through our local VMCC section, working together as a joint team, or by independent support and also through “John’s Motorcycle News” John and Michael have been privileged and honored to be able to play an important role in helping many charitable organisations and worthwhile causes, some of which are listed below:-
