Memorial Run started in Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, June 1, 2016

About 50 motorcycles lined Main Street on Saturday afternoon  when the A.B.A.T.E. Memorial Run began at Little Mexico in Ada.

Matt Haught of Botkins exits his Harley, one of many lining both sides of Main downtown.

The 120-mile run takes the bikers to five places during the day. All proceeds go to the local A.B.A.T.E. chapter to "remember our brothers and sisters of the wind and let them know they may be down but not forgotten."
