I am exposed to this group through Facebook ad at rallies where I see people wearing the patch. This is a noble and critical cause. Having once been under the addiction to alcohol (freed for 5 years praise God) I have seen firsthand the damage drinking and driving/riding can do. Keep up the great work !!
The has helped friends of ours who were downed by drunk drivers and are true friends of every rider and raising the awareness of these accidents
I have had several friends who have been injured by drunk drivers. I believe in not drinking and driving/ riding! I would be very happy to show support by wearing your B.A.D.D. patch. Will be looking forward to seeing it in my mail! Thank you for all you do!
What more can I say about this organization other than it is Great! As a member of B.A.D.D it is our goal to ensure that we educate the public about the dangers of Drunk Driving. We can do this by setting up booths at rallies, or just by our members simply wearing their B.A.D.D. gear to get people talking. The camaraderie and friendships that are built on this common goal also help to kindle the fire of keeping bikers safer buy trying to eliminate drinking and riding! As a former police officer I have seen the dangers that Drinking and Riding can pose. It was a no brainer for me to join this wonderful organization!
Awesome organizations like this change the world. Many people wear the patch and i wouls love to be one of them.
Fortunately I don't know anyone who has been affected by the horrors that come from drink drivers and I really hope it stays that way. We read of the horrors on a weekly basis and this is unacceptable there should be zero tolerance on drinking and driving, if you want a drink leave the car at home simple as. I have no sympathy for anyone that does it and gets caught, if they loose their job it's just tough. I am looking forward to sporting your patch and I shall be advertising this great site in my FB page.
Many thanks for the great work you guys do.
Kind regards and great respect
Nigel.
This is an amazing organization. I have seen a lot of close friends get hurt by driving drunk and it has changed their lives being sober. Would love this patch
Awesome organization, spreading the information about how drunk driving can impact the lives of people... We all must be aware of how our decisions to drive drunk can impact people around us.... Simply don't do it!
I I ride in a Christian Motorcycle Ministry and have had way too many close calls ! God be with all on two wheels !
BADD IS A WONDERFUL THING THANK YOU FOR HELPING KEEP THE BIKER COMMUNITY S AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF DRINKING AND DRIVING!
I am a retired police office that worked the traffic unit for many years. BADD really helps to get the word out. the general public will pay more attention to their campaign before a state or local drunk driving campaign. they are a great asset to the LEO's that work the road!!!
I had a cousin that was killed on his bike by a drunk driver so BADD IS Something I support whole heartedly,thanks for all y'all do
I live in an area where there is a very active chapter of BADD.
I see them as I watch in horror the many tragedies that occur. They are on the scene offering their assistance and care.
I am not a biker, but so appreciate everything they do. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to financially support BADD, but wish to show my support for what they do.
This a great organization that helps bikers in times of need. And helps keep people aware of us bikers on the road and keep us safe. Keep up the great work.
This is a wonderful organization... Any organization that raises awareness bout motorcycle saftey and fights the problem of all D.U.I. drivers is an organization I would be proud to be a part of... Keep up the great job guys!!!!!!!
I am a SOBER biker, I support any organization that promotes safety on the road, especially for motorcycling.
A good service to the community is what B.A.D.D. provides, drinking and driving is a nationwide problem, and this group gets the word out to more people in my opinion than any other.
I believe in what they stand for. Less drunks Less accidents. I have many Bike friends ran down by drunk drivers so I would like to do my part to help.
It's a great cause and glad they are a voice to many, me myself know the importance of not drinking and riding or driving, it's cheaper to do it at HOME.
I'm just a guy with a bike that loves to ride!! And I personally have to much to live for to be injured or killed by somebody that is irresponsible and would put others in danger
as one of the leading causes of death in this country, this organization is bringing to light how to save thousands of lives to prevent drinking and driving.
The education they bring to the public to shine a light on an important issue is priceless. It's impressive how many people this organization helps.
Lost my ride in 1993 when I sold my ride to save my oldest sons life n when my next son came along I named him Harley Davidson ivy to bring a bond between the 2. That was 22 yrs ago I fully support bad n what they do n all the aweness they bring please help them get even larger Hippie from ms
For as long as I can remember I have heard nothing but amazing things related to this group.
From what I have seen this is a great bunch of "real people " who are actually active and not just a bumper sticker.
Keep up the good work.
Nov. 11, 2012 The worst day of my life. My daughter Jocelyn Beth Elberson was walking her puppy on the Amherst Bike Path in Buffalo NY, we got her it after open heart surgery. My wife and sister in law were with her. It was a very warm fall day and everyone was enjoying the day. All of a sudden along comes a bunch of bikes one of them passed the others just befor a slight curve and lost it hitting my daughter head on killing her and throwing her body 132 feet over the heads of my wife and sister in law he then slammed into another couple walking killing that woman and severely injuring her husband. Later we found out that the driver had 6 prior DWI 's. This man is currently serving 4-12 years in prison while all of us including my daughter are serving a life sentence!! Please don't drink and drive people have a plan. The picture is of Jocelyn and me earlier that summer.

November 11, 2012 my daughter Jocelyn was walking her new puppy for exercise. She recently had open heart surgery to fix her valve. It was a very beautiful warm fall day. Lots of people taking advantage of the great weather. My wife and sister inlaw were walking with each other and Jocelyn was 20 feet in front of them. All of a sudden a biker came along going faster than he should have ,misjudged his speed for the curve lost control and slammed into Jocelyn tossing her 135 ft. over my wife's head then crashing into another older couple killing both Jocelyn and the other woman. The other woman's husband was severely injured . The biker was drunk and this was his 7th DWI. My wife and I are working to get change in our leagal system to increase the punishment for repeat offenders in New York from the maximum 5-15 to 10-20. This law would be called Jocelyns law. I would love to wear the B. A. D. D. Patch in honor of Jocelyn to help spread the word. Don't Drink and Drive. Thanks for all your good work.
Set Free Ministries and Set Free Soldiers are with you in and are supporting BADD!! Check us out on facebook Set Free Ministries.
As someone who has lost a family member and a good friend to drunk drivers, I totally support the message that the folks at BADD are putting out to the world. I am a biker. I do not drink, even though I know that is kind of part of the "biker world" or the "biker image", the partying and drinking, well, not all of them do that, but those that do, I sure do wish they did not. It bothers me greatly to see folks drinking and riding a motorcycle, just the same as it bothers me to see people drinking and driving a car. All recipes for disaster. I greatly limit the number of bikers that will hang out with me because of my views and very outspoken opinion on biking and drinking but hey, I really do not care. I want to get home alive. I want all my biker friends to get home alive too. Sure the majority of drinking related accidents are caused by four wheeled vehicles but there is a fair share of two wheeled accidents out there too. Keep up the great work of raising awareness BADD! I think you all are just "bad to the bone" in everything you do for the biker world!
I have enjoyed the total message of BADD as it relates to awareness and the importance of never drinking and driving. The statistics provided tell the whole story but we need this champion message carrier to keep the seriousness of the privilege of personal travel and the headline of seriousness and sobriety that it carries. As the board chair of a local soup, meal & health kitchen I know you need great support at all levels to be successful.
Kudos to BADD
Have always supported this group! Keep up the great work!
Great to see people up the Standard and go beyond social stereotypes!
This is a great organization
People shouldn't drink and drive
And alway be on the look out for us bikers
Drunk driving affects us all in one way or another. I am thrilled to know that there are people (BIKERS!) who stand against this. What a wonderful nonprofit BADD is!
I was hit by a drunk driver and these guys was awesome towards me they do everything for everyone and I can't show enough support! I love them they are like family in my house!
I love the awareness they bring to two wheelers. Sobriety when riding is very important to me and hits close to home.
This is a great cause that saves lives. Too many bikers have been in tragic accidents caused by drunk drivers.
I salute the efforts put forth by B.A.D.D. to educating the motoring public at large regarding the hazards associated with intoxicant impairment. Keep up the good work.

I am a FIRM believer in the BADD cause!!! It is a cause near and dear to my heart. I have been an old school biker for over 40yrs and have lost a few close friends due to the mix of drinking and driving. It isnt and never will worth the risk of fines, possible loss of driving privileges, jail time, and not to mention the personal injury to others. PLEASE support those who are fighting to end the tragedy caused by poor judgement and join Bikers Against Drunk Drivers now!!!
