(New Pictures!) HARRY’s BIRTHDAY….again…??? by Miserable George and ValGal

     January 6 & 7, 2017 was a pretty lively two days at the H&D Roadhouse…Merritt Island, FL.  It was owner Harry Vigliano”s 61st. Birthday, coupled with the annual MDA benefit drive.

Yeah man…two days of a packed house, and I DO mean packed!!

Not many riders, true, because of the cold front that whacked us on Friday evening, and lasted for almost 4 days, but, there were a few brave souls who DID ride…ladies too…!

The live band, BRINGDAROCK, hammered out the tunes for 2 days, there was free food, plus an auction, which featured a beautiful original painting…!!

MDA realized a nice piece of change, through the efforts of Harry, Deb, and the crew…PLUS…all the patrons who donated…thank you all…!!

ValGal and I had a ball…as usual…And, a very Happy Birthday to our friend…Harry…YOU DA MAN!!!!

RAT RODS at the IRON HORSE by Miserable George

       On Saturday, November 26, 2016, ValGal and I attended a big Rat Rod Showing at the good old Iron Horse Bar, in Ormond Beach…just north of Daytona proper…right on US # 1.

We arrived a bit early, and had an opportunity to chat with ace bike builder, Billy Lane. Hopefully, we’ll have more on Billy at a later date. We also had a chat with Willie Jones of Old School Chopper fame…good way to start the day, I’d say!!!

Anyway, before long, the old, sometimes rusty super powered heaps started to roll (roar) onto the grounds. Another show in the area was just ending, as Iron Horses’ show was beginning….(somebody did their homework!!)  The space around the old Daytona landmark was soon over-flowing with some of the most fantastic machines I have ever seen!!

The pictures will show you what I mean…! Hey…the sounds of a live band, the aroma of exotic fuels that powered  those beasts, a host of pretty girls, all added up to a pretty exciting couple of hours, roaming around some of the most unique machines that I’ve seen in quite awhile. We’re gonna keep our eyes open for the next show!!!

SAINTS MC Memorial Service by Miserable George

    Today, October 29, 2016, was the day the Saints MC chose to honor and remember their fallen Brothers.

A column left the Cocoa clubhouse at 12:30 PM, and wound its way over SR 405 to SR 3, (A1A), and south passing the houses of several deceased Brothers, and on down south to the Pineda area where a Brothers’ ashes were scattered, and on back to the clubhouse for a very touching memorial service.

There was also some tasty food, served amid the live music of the Radio Flyerz Band. A very worthwhile way to spend the day, for sure! I met several Brothers whom I hadn’t seen for quite a spell…that’s always nice. Nice weather…good friends…a perfect combination for a nice relaxing fall afternoon. Thanks guys and ladies…

Old Guys and Bikes RULE!! by Miserable George

    This is something a bit different.

It was the “old guys” who started this whole biking thing…many years ago. It was different then…WAY different.

OSB would like to pay homage to these men and a few of their machines. They may not be as desirable to look at, but if it were not for them….there would be NO biker babes…think about THAT!!!

Yes, there are several RIP’s in this display…GOD bless them all…several of them were my close friends…
