When the legendary Love Ride roared back to life in Southern California on November 9, 2025, RAWSAK Studios was honored to be there—represented by Pop Artist Robert Alexander Womack, longtime creator, motorcycle enthusiast, and friend of many in the rock-and-art community.
This year’s revival, known as Love Ride 34, was powered by Harley-Davidson and led by Jay Leno, who served as the event’s Grand Marshal. According to the official announcement from Harley-Davidson and event organizers, the ride began in Glendale, California—home of Harley-Davidson of Glendale—before heading north to the scenic Castaic Lake for a full-day festival.
A Legendary Cause Returns
Founded in 1984, Love Ride has raised millions of dollars for charitable causes. The 2025 beneficiaries included:
For Womack—whose art often highlights American icons, culture, and humanitarian themes—the mission behind Love Ride remains deeply personal. Like Pop Art, the event is a tribute to bold American storytelling.

Surprise artists joined throughout the afternoon, keeping the classic Love Ride spirit alive.
The combination of chrome, guitars, and community made this one of the most energetic Love Ride celebrations in years.
Robert Womack at Love Ride 34
Robert Womack attended not only as a guest but as a visual storyteller of Pop Art’s evolution. Fans recognized him from decades of artwork celebrating icons such as:
- Muhammad Ali
- Elvis Presley
- Marilyn Monroe
- Steve Kaufman
- Harley-Davidson culture
Visitors asked about upcoming releases at RAWSAK Studios, Womack’s collaborations with Steve Kaufman, and the continued rise of Pop Art in motorcycle and Americana communities.
This wasn’t just a ride—it was a living moving canvas of chrome, leather, music, art, charity, and American history.
A Day of Culture, Charity & Pop Art Energy
Jay Leno kicked off the Opening Ceremony with his trademark humor, sending thousands of riders onto the open road. Spectators lined the route through Glendale as the convoy headed north to Castaic Lake.
RAWSAK Studios is honored to have been part of this historic event. Love Ride 34 was a celebration of community, art, music, and support for veterans and children.
We look forward to returning for Love Ride 35—and bringing even more Pop Art spirit to one of California’s greatest traditions.
