By Lori EhdeIt’s been nearly a year since Hardwick’s Randy Scott was killed in a motorcycle accident, and friends and family are observing the anniversary with a memorial ride Saturday.Scott, 55, Hardwick, died Aug. 16 when his Harley Davidson motorcycle collided with a Cadillac driven by Congressman Bill Janklow who sped through a stop sign at a rural intersection in Moody County, S.D.While former South Dakota Governor Janklow, suffered legal and political ramifications of the accident — including jail time, Randy Scott’s family and friends are left with only their memories.The best way they know how to honor his memory on the anniversary of his death is to take a motorcycle ride in his name.The Randy Scott Memorial Ride will start with registration at 10 a.m. at the Howling Dog Saloon, Luverne, and the ride will begin at noon with a "blessing of the bikes."Stops along the way include Kenneth, Trosky, Hardwick, Eagles Club in Luverne, and the South Dakota towns of Trent (which is near the rural intersection where Scott died) Sherman, Corson, Valley Springs and the D&D in Brandon.Ride organizer and Howling Dog manager Jodi Christy said bikers will be encouraged to split up and stop at the nine locations in varying order so large groups don’t overwhelm small communities all at once.Bikes will reconvene in Luverne at 6 p.m. for a raffle and silent auction to benefit Dollars for Scholars, the Minnesota Veterans Home and motorcycle awareness in Scott’s name.A similar memorial ride organized Oct. 4, 2003, in Randy’s name attracted 750 motorcyclists and raised more than $3,000 for local charities.
