About us
The 4 State Riders Association was started in 2008. We are a 501c Not for Profit organization. The organization is growing and we continue to support and develop events that provide resources and bring attention to local and national charities. We are dedicated to this cause.
In 2008 our benefactor was B.A.C.A., Our 1st Annual Aces Wild Poker Bikes, Boats and Blues weekend was a great success. Over 200 bikes and 90 boats participated in the event. some 700 people attended the concert venue. Sponsors and Donations were received from over 30 sponsors.
In 2009 the 2nd Annual Aces Wild event was a hard fought success. Our charity for the event was Riders United for Children ( RU4C ) .. We fought the economy and some subvertive activist... but we prevailed and doubled our donations to the charities. It was tough for us and for the sponsors, but I will give a BIG thank you to all that showed up, participated and donated, to the sponsors and supporters... THANK YOU! .. Riders United for Children was able to support even more children than expected with all your help!
2010 looks to be a great year for the 4 State Riders Association. We'll try to double again the donations and the support for the out local charities!
Our goal is to build our organization, recognize charitable organizations and support their needs, support the local motorcycle riders and motorcycle events in the 4 state area, to have a central point for motorcycle information and idea exchange.

A little about me...I am married, my wife, Kyra, and I live in NW Arkansas. We have 4 children. My real job is working for a global manufacturing company. I travel extensivly around 6 states that I support, I get to meet motorcycle enthusyist from all areas. Bike nights are always a great time to meet and enjoy new friends. I've been riding since I was 6 yrs old... I cut my teeth on motocross and since then I have ridden just about everything... after a few years away from riding, I bought myself another Harley, I want to enjoy it as much as possible... The start of the 4 State Rider site was a simple way for me to find new friends that ride and to find new events to attend. I was having a very hard time finding rides and rally info an decided it was a good time to provide the info to everyone in one central site. (We still do this today) .. As the site grew and the organization was formed we decided to build our own events and provide support to other events in the area as well... so here it is... no spam no garbage... just bikes and fun!!
enjoy the ride!!
