Motorcycle Bob Shares with Club

Bob Mutchler, better known as Motorcycle Bob, was the special speaker at South Sac Rotary's club meeting on Monday, November 7. Bob contracted polio at a very young age and is a living example of someone who has been able to rise above his disabilities. Since in those days people did not know how polio was contracted, Bob was isolated as a teenager. When he decided to ride a motorcycle, he was told he couldn't do it. In the last 25+ years, Bob has ridden many thousands of  miles, much of it in pursuit of funds to support Polio Plus. When he was younger, he participated in extreme rides, at one time covering 1,000 miles a day for 11 straight days. Today, Bob still rides and takes every opportunity to share his passion--Polio Plus.
