SHORT TAKES : Forbes Paces Biker ‘Love Ride’
Actors Gary Busey and Lorenzo Lamas joined tycoon Malcolm Forbes and 5,000 other leather-clad bikers for a charity “Love Ride” through Southern California.
“It’s a sense of freedom. You and the road, you and the elements, generally a freedom feeling,” the 70-year old Forbes said Sunday before leaving Glendale on a red-and-black Harley-Davidson. An estimated 5,000 bikers navigated the circuitous, 100-mile route to a ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains, raising $500,000 in pledges for the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. and the Jerry Lewis ALS Center.
Entertainers at the post-ride barbecue at the Calamigos Ranch included motorcycle aficionado David Crosby.
