Second Strike exists for the ones who made it home, but still fight every damn day.
Combat vets. MST survivors. Gold Star families.
We teach them to ride.
We give them gear.
We remind them who the hell they are.
⚡️ Website is live.
Let’s ride with purpose.

Isolation doesn’t always look obvious.
Sometimes it looks like empty weekends and no direction.
That’s who we’re looking for.
If you’ve never ridden.
If you’ve never touched a bike.
If you’ve been stuck in your own head with too much time and no outlet — apply.
We’ll pay for the @harleydavidson Riding Academy.
We’ll send the gear.
We’ll put you in motion.
Not because motorcycles are magic.
Because purpose and movement change trajectories.
If you’re an eligible veteran and you’ve been isolating, this is your entry point.
Plus, this shit is dope.
Apply to the program.
Check on your people.

There’s no handbook for life after combat.
So we made something that makes sense when nothing else does.
A reason to move.
A reason to show up.
Before it all goes quiet again.
Grab a shirt.
Help us put purpose in the hands of someone who actually needs it.

Huge shoutout to @alteredegocustompaint and @rippin_aint_easy for putting on one of the best events we’ve ever been to.
Shane invited us out to Virginia for Stunt Fest on May 2nd, made Second Strike the beneficiary, and helped raise enough money to put 9 veterans through our program.
The stunt show was insane, @birdgangstunts@clayarainwater@ocd_motos@twealthco
The hot dog eating competition was neck and neck, @tonyontwo took the trophy home.
@rippin_757 won People’s Choice in the bike show and threw down on the second most dogs of the day.
Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, donated, rode, volunteered, or bought a hot dog.
Next year is going to be wild.
Hawgs and Dawgs lives on, baby.
Check on your people.

Meet Cecil from California.
Cecil is a retired U.S. Navy veteran who deployed to Afghanistan, and he is the next veteran starting the Second Strike program.
After years of carrying weight most people will never see, Cecil gets to throw a leg over a Harley, shut the world off for a while, and focus on doing something for himself.
No overthinking. Just learning to ride, building confidence, and doing dope shit with good people.
That is what this program is built for.
We provide the required riding gear and cover his @harleydavidson Riding Academy course so he can take that first step with the right support behind him.
Huge thanks to the companies backing this mission:
@simpson_motorcycle_helmets@eaglerider@gbrakesusa@ridefoxpv
Cecil is up next.
Check on your people.
