Shana’s Birthday at H&D Roadhouse
BIN (bikers in need) RUN 2017 by Miserable George
I guess you could say that the weatherman kinda threw us a few curves during the course of the day, at the 6th annual BIN run on April 22, 2017, with a few intermittent showers, which were actually much needed. Some of the riders arrived at Post 117, a bit wet!! In spite of the “iffy” weather, the turn-out was very good…nearly 200 bikes, with 235 sign-ins…and ya know what…?? I don’t think I heard a single complaint about the little showers!
Doc Holiday was already entertaining when we pulled in, and, there was supposed to be a live band, however, they tell me their guitar player was a no-show….!!
Several vendors there, including a man who made wood carvings with a chain saw…interesting!!
As always, at Post 117, the food was very plentiful, and tasty too. There were also several stations on the grounds for cold drinks, including their beautiful covered Tiki Bar. Lots of places to sit and catch yer breath, however, they were left WET by all the passing showers.
They tell me that the BIN collected several big buckets of canned goods, along with some much needed funding…thanks to very generous bikers who always take care of their own.
Gotta send out a BIG THANKS to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Dept. as well for their invaluable assistance in keeping things moving very smoothly on the run, especially on and off of I.95. They tell me those men were volunteers…well done. To Post 117 also, for the use of their spacious grounds, and to all the other people who volunteered their time and service to the BIN. Mama Bear…you’re the BIN Angel!!

H&D Roadhouse & Old School Biker Magazine’s 2017 Double Anniversary Party
April 15, 2017…6 years for Harry and Deb at the Roadhouse, and starting OSB’s third year.
The weather was absolutely fantastic…perfect day to ride. The crowd trickled in during the course of the afternoon, and, in no time at all, the place was jumpin’…!!
A good live band in the afternoon to warm things up, THEN, the feature band…DRIVEN…wowed the gang in the evening hours.
As always, good food was had in abundance, the bar was bustling, a 50/50 drawing, and awards were given out to the winning hot rod and motorcycle.
Much to the delight of the guys…there were LOTS of pretty ladies prancing around, and, we DID corner one for a nice photo shoot…thanks CHLOE!!!
Here’s to many more years for Harry and Deb…they’ve done wonders with the place. OSB will always try our best to keep the area riders informed…H&D and OSB….a perfect combination for FUN!!! Hey, that’s what it’s all about…right…?

Remembering Donnie ”Cool Don” Grant
We lost a good friend recently…Donnie”Cool Don” Grant…I just knew him as “Donnie”.
He was kinda on the quiet side, a U.S.Marine Corps veteran from the Korean Conflict, an avid motorcycle rider, and a long-time, very loyal supporter of our local motorcycle clubs.
A nice group of his friends gathered at H&D Roadhouse, on April 8th. For a celebration of Don’s life. He made his presence known at H&D Roadhouse, many times…usually with a smile on his face. I used to kid him about being the only rider in Brevard County who was older than me…!!
We were good friends…I’ll certainly miss him, as will a lot of others in the area. RIP Donnie…we’ll all join you on that Golden Road some day…

Tanner Jam Rock the Cure 2017 to Fight Cystic Fibrosis
Tanner Jam Rock the Cure (named for our Grandson Tanner Fallon 11 years old) was a huge success this year.
The contributions from local bands, businesses, friends and family helped us meet and exceed our goals. Each year the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation does a Charity walk, An estimated 94% of the funds raised for this walk go directly to research, not Administrative expenditures or executive wages.
That is why we choose to put forth our best efforts for Tanner, who is afflicted with this disease, that shortens the lives of kids and young adults. this year we raised $13,500.00 during Tanner Jam !!! and over $20,000.00 is what Tanner’s Team (that is you and everyone who was involved the most or in the slightest way) expect to present the Foundation with at the walk.
This money will one day make a breakthrough that will extend children’s lives into their teens and beyond. We cannot thank our community enough for the love you have shown Tanner from his Mom and Dad, sisters and Brothers we thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of our hearts, God bless you.

CHILI AT THE BIN “Bikers In Need” by Miserable George
No question about it…I LOVE chili, SO, the BIN “Bikers In Need” Chili Cook-off was a must for ValGal and myself.
Jan. 21, 2017 was a perfect day for cooking chili…hey…ANY day is perfect for making a batch of chili…!! The serving table was all jammed up with crock-pots, filled with the bubbling red stuff…some hot, some mild…all good!!! You could vote for your favorite; I never DID find out who won…!
There were several donations which were auctioned off to benefit the Downed Biker Fund, one being a lighthouse painting from me..!! The other was a real nice leather jacket. No one claimed the 50/50 prize, so that entire amount was put into the fund as well.
It was a very relaxing type of day…lots of place to sit, in the shade too!! My thanks to the gentleman who bought our donated painting, and to all the riders who came out to support the BIN. Hey, ya never know when YOU might need their services…they’re always there to help…!!!
