Riders Chapter 550
Who We Are
The Bloomington American Legion Riders Chapter 550 are a passionate group of motorcycle enthusiasts dedicated to honoring veterans, serving our community, and enjoying the open road. Led by our chapter director, Jody Hassing — who also serves as the Minnesota American Legion Rider Director — we proudly represent Post 550 in rides, parades, and charitable events that raise funds and awareness for veterans and their families.
Open to members of The American Legion, Sons of The American Legion, and the American Legion Auxiliary, Legion Riders Chapter 550 blends camaraderie, service, and the thrill of riding. Whether escorting fallen heroes, supporting local benefits, or simply gathering for a ride, we unite our passion for motorcycles with a commitment to the Legion’s mission.
