Coolest Motorcycle Dudes Ever Take Bullied Boy On New Hope Outing

A bullied high school student was picked up by a motorcycle brigade this week, and taken for a day of fun and fishing around New Hope.

Here's a story that will restore your faith in humanity: A bullied high school student was picked up by a motorcycle brigade this week, and taken for a day of fun and fishing around New Hope and the Delaware River.

The Hillsborough High School teen was already expecting to be picked up after school to go fishing. What he wasn't expecting was to have a motorcycle brigade roll up and escort him out of school to treat him to a special day by The Warrior Heart.

Tyreke had been bullied throughout the school year but has a "good heart," said John Notte, an East Amwell resident and Marine Corps Veteran who started The Warrior Heart, a locally-based initiative that works to motivate, enable, and empower others to overcome challenges and struggles.

"Whenever he sees a veteran, no matter what, he's stops what he is doing, goes up to them, shakes their hand and thanks them for their service," Notte says of Tyreke in the video.

Tyreke was treated to lunch at The Landing Restaurant and then they headed over to Amwell Lake where he caught his first fish ever (actually his first four fish ever) and a snapping turtle, according to Notte.

They ended the day fishing on the Delaware River.

"We made this young man's day and made a positive impact on his life, all because people like you came out and Showed Your Heart!" Notte said.
