A Rolling Tribute to a Fallen Hero
On April 5, 1968, a 21-year-old soldier named Roger Elgin Ward lost his life in Kien Hoa, South Vietnam. He was Billy Haynes' constant friend during many childhood adventures, and together they shared dreams of traveling across the country on motorcycles.
In Roger's honor, Billy built a rolling tribute - a memorial motorcycle dedicated to his fallen friend, his brothers from the 1st Cavalry Division, and all who have died in defense of their country.
The Mission
The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, making this year the 50th Anniversary. We're committed to ensuring the memory and legacy of Roger—and all others who didn't come home—lives on.
The Roger E. Ward Memorial Motorcycle serves as a heartfelt reminder and tribute to the brave soldiers who died protecting our freedoms.
If you’re interested in bringing the motorcycle to an event near you, contact us.

"Every time I swing my leg over the seat and prepare to hit the road, I see Roger's name embroidered on my backrest and think in some small way I am fulfilling his dream."
