The Aidan Jack Seeger Foundation’s Aidan’s Ride SoCal motorcycle event took place this past December in Temecula, California, to help raise awareness and resources for Adrenoleukodystrophy, or ALD, a genetic disease that severely affects the brains and spinal cords of young males, often resulting in death.
Some classic machinery, like this Harley-Davidson Panhead, participated in the ride.

Elisa and Bobby Seeger of Genuine Motorworks and Indian Larry Motorcycles lost their son Aidan to ALD when he was just 7 years old. The foundation’s mission is to advocate for ALD newborn screening in every state, and to provide information and fund research that will identify new treatments, therapies, and ultimately a cure.

With its deep ties to the motorcycle industry, the foundation is able to organize a series of rides—known as “Aidan’s Rides”—throughout the country in a number of urban areas, including Brooklyn (New York), Charlotte (North Carolina), Miami, Philadelphia, Sturgis, and St Louis. These rides promote the foundation’s mission.
Choppers and FXRs are always a sign of a great ride.

The Southern California edition began at Biltwell Inc.’s headquarters in Temecula, California. After fueling up on coffee and donuts, a few hundred participants set off at a relaxed pace through scenic back roads with rolling hills lined by vineyards.

“The Seegers are family to us and we jumped at the chance to help them organize a SoCal edition of Aidan’s ride,” Mike Deutsch of Biltwell said.
Delicious food awaited all at the lunch stop.

Everyone arrived safely in Fallbrook for a nice lunch with new and old friends. The riders enjoyed tasty eats and good conversation before heading home via a few different routes. It was the perfect way to spend a balmy December day in Southern California.
