Last year’s event was unfortunately a rainout, but the Dave Mungenast family was still able to support and raise money for the St. Louis BackStoppers. Over the last 19 years, over $500,000 has been raised through this event in support of BackStoppers.
We want to thank all of you who have always stepped up to help and ride with us to support such a worthy cause. Please keep the families of the fallen police and firefighters in your prayers.
For additional information, please contact Jeff Jensen at jeffjensen@davemungenast.com, Andy Kaufman at andykaufman@davemungenast.com or Michael Mungenast at michaelmungenast@davemungenast.com or by calling 314-649-1200.
RIDE INFO
Originally known as the Bike and Badge Ride, organizers have renamed the ride to honor Mr. Dave Mungenast, Sr., a man who believed in his community, often helping many charities without expecting recognition. His support for the Bike and Badge Ride was no exception, and without his help, our ride would not exist today. Mr. Mungenast passed away in the fall of 2006 and we hope to honor him and his memory by renaming this event to “The Dave Mungenast, Sr. Memorial Bike and Badge Ride”.
This year’s event is on Sunday, September 27, 2026 and registration will be taken on-site from 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at the ride, which begins at Dave Mungenast Motorsports (located at 5935 South Lindbergh Blvd. directly adjacent to Dave Mungenast St. Louis Honda). Registration is just $25 for pre-registration online and $30 the day of with all proceeds benefiting the BackStoppers. T-shirts will be on sale during the time of registration.

To participate in the ride, you will need a street legal motorcycle, valid motorcycle license, and a desire to ride with fellow enthusiasts for a noble cause. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

About The BackStoppers:
Since 1959, the BackStoppers have served the families of police officers and firefighters in the St. Louis area who have perished in the line of duty. The BackStoppers have but one purpose: to ease the suffering and provide much needed financial assistance for the spouses and dependent children of these public servants who have lost their lives. The BackStoppers depend heavily on donations and support from the community, and this ride is another effort to help and show appreciation for the critical work of this organization.
REGISTRATION
To participate, all you need is a street legal motorcycle, valid motorcycle license and a desire to ride with fellow enthusiasts for a noble cause.
