About the ride: This ride was originally set up by Vic and Harry Sucher as a memorial to Johnny because they knew how much he liked to ride in the desert areas. It was meant to be a simple overnighter and it morphed into a 2.5-day event. With Johnny’s passing in April 2022, this is truly now a memorial… “Oh what da world!”
