My name is Gerry Kue and I am from Providence Rhode Island, born and raised. I started riding when I was 18 years old. At the time, I just thought it was the cool thing to do. So I signed up for my motorcycle license and bought my first bike, a 2006 gsxr 750 Burgundy and black. Ive always liked those rare colors. As time went by, I really started to realize how stress relieving riding was. No one knows the feeling until they have actually ridden. It’s a feeling of freedom and knowing you can go from 0mph to 80mph in seconds is just an absolute amazing feeling.

My second bike was the 2008 gsxr 1000 copper and black. 2010-2016 were probably the best years of my riding days. Great group of guys I rode with and there was never a destination, we just rode. Some rode to escape their families and some rode to get away from their everyday stress. In 2016 at the age of 28, I felt that I had no fulfillment in life. It was the same daily routine for me. Wake up, work, ride, hang out in the streets and slowly see each friend go down one by one, whether it was jail, drugs or death. I realized I had to do something to better my life since my parent’s main reason for coming to
this country was to better their kid’s lives. All they ever asked of us was to finish school, and me being the adventurous and youngest one, I did not finish school. That summer I decided to join the police force, something I never thought I’d do especially growing up in the area that I did. Receiving that letter of acceptance in 2017, I knew I had to sell the precious bike In order to survive the Police academy that paid a measly $10 an hour. Years have gone by and everyday I thought about riding again. Then here comes 2020, a crappy year for all mankind, COVID-19 hits. Sadly, I lost my father to Covid in April
