The American Legion Riders (ALR) are, in a
nutshell, motorcycle enthusiasts who are affiliated with the
American
Legion. The ALR was formed in 1993 to participate in parades and other ceremonies
that are in keeping with the aims and purposes of the American
Legion, to promote motorcycle safety programs and to provide a
social atmosphere for American Legion members who share the same
interest, and to promote and support programs of the American
Legion.
Members of the American Legion, the Sons of the
American Legion, and the Legion Auxiliary are eligible to join the
ALR, provided they own a motorcycle with an engine displacement of
at least 350cc and have a valid drivers license.
