Custom Dynamics® Partners with Second Strike Foundation This Veterans Day
This Veterans Day, we're honored to support those who have served our country by partnering with an organization that is changing lives through the power of motorcycles, community, and connection.
On November 11 2026, Custom Dynamics® will donate 5% of all sales placed through CustomDynamics.com from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM Eastern Time to the Second Strike Foundation, helping fund programs that introduce veterans to the motorcycle community and provide ongoing support long after their first ride.
More Than a Ride
Founded by Purple Heart recipient and Army combat veteran Gabe Rivera, the Second Strike Foundation is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Nashville, Tennessee. Their mission is simple but powerful: combat veteran isolation and suicide by helping veterans find connection, purpose, and community through motorcycling.
For many service members, the transition to civilian life can come with the loss of camaraderie, routine, and identity. Second Strike addresses those challenges by introducing veterans to an entirely new community built around shared experiences and a passion for riding.
The organization works with combat veterans, military sexual trauma survivors, and Gold Star families across the United States, covering the full cost of:
- Harley-Davidson® Riding Academy or Motorcycle Safety Foundation courses
- Simpson Mod Bandit helmets
- Riding boots and gloves
- Protective eyewear
- Essential riding gear
Everything is provided at no cost to the participant, and the equipment is theirs to keep.
Creating Connection Through Motorcycles
Learning to ride is only the beginning.
The motorcycle becomes a catalyst for something much bigger: getting out of the house, meeting new people, learning new skills, and becoming part of a supportive community.
Anyone who rides understands how quickly one motorcycle can become a lifelong passion. Riders spend weekends working on their bikes, researching motorcycle upgrades, attending events, planning road trips, and building friendships along the way.
For many veterans, that passion becomes a new purpose.
Instead of spending weekends isolated at home, they are finding reasons to get involved, stay active, and look forward to what's next. Through group rides, community events, mentorship, and ongoing support, Second Strike continues to stay connected with veterans long after they've completed their rider training.
Their impact extends beyond motorcycling as well. In addition to training dozens of veterans to ride each year, Second Strike Veteran Programs also provide free assistance with VA disability claims, helping veterans access benefits they have earned through their service.
