Ride For Dreams

March Design 2009

Welcome to the Top Cats of Illinois! We are devoted to promoting the sport of safe motorcycling. Our members are social by nature, and we host many types of activities, but our emphasis is on riding. We average more than 25 rides a season... most last a few hours, others are for a day. Several last a weekend and even longer. We are business owners, leaders, and executives... but most importantly motorcycle riders and enthusiasts who enjoy the thrill of safe riding.

Group Riding And Safety Seminar A major focus of the Top Cats is to provide a safe riding environment for our members and guests. To promote this environment, we conduct a Group Riding and Safety Seminar, or G.R.A.S.S., for our members and guests. Attendance at a G.R.A.S.S. session is required for all new members. Non-members are welcome. G.R.A.S.S. does not teach you how to ride...it simply teaches our members and guests how the Top Cats ride safely.

Ride For Dreams Every year the Top Cats hold a major fundraising event for our favorite charity - NISRA: the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association. All riders are invited to join us in July for our Ride for Dreams…a fun-filled day including a leisurely 75 mile ride through the countryside. The event begins and ends at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, IL. Registration includes entry into the museum. To date, Top Cats of Illinois has contributed more than $200,000 to NISRA from the proceeds of these events.
