A BENEFIT FOR KNUCKLES…WMC by Miserable George and Valgal

     We all hope that it will never happen to us, but, if it does, it’s nice to know that you can depend on Brothers and friends for help. On a drizzly Saturday evening, Dec. 19, 2020, just such a crowd of Brothers and friends gathered at the Warlock Clubhouse in Cocoa, Fl. to lend a much needed hand to Brother Knuckles. There was good food, pretty ladies, cold drinks, piped in music, and a mystery raffle prize. I never did find out what that prize was!!! I’m hoping that no one had a wet ride home!!! All the best to Brother Knuckles….

Wrecking Crew Chili Cook-Off by Miserable George

     With the weather being “iffy”, their street blocked off, and me…a stranger to the area, AND, it was dark on that Dec. 12, 2020, all combined, I was lucky to find the Wrecking Crew CH….BUT…I found it…!!! Nice crowd was already there sampling the chili creations of 9 different cooks, and I joined right in. I sampled 5 different pots, made my choice, and voted! The winners were awarded cash, and medallion type trophies, plus, the #1 winner received a neat model privy. Hey, after eating all that chili….well….you figure it out!!! I believe this will be an annual event, and I’m glad, because I LOVE CHILI…!!!   My thanks goes out to the Wrecking Crew  MC for their hospitality. Keep yer eyes peeled for other up-coming events…

Unchained Kings…4TH. Anniversary Party by Miserable George

     Under somewhat “iffy” skies, the crowd filed into the Unchained Kings CH on Coconut Dr., on Oct.24, 2020. As luck would have it, there was NO RAIN!!! A DJ kept the tunes coming, as the crowd steadily grew. Inside, a sexy barmaid kept the cold ones coming to help wash down some of the items in that huge food spread, including a 4th. Anniversary cake…and other sweet goodies. Outside, a game of Cornhole was in full swing, and a nice evening bonfire was being prepared. Folks, it was a nice evening get together, with several clubs being represented…oh yeah…babes too…!!! I always enjoy an evening at the “Kings”…you will too. Tell ‘em Old School Biker sent you…! Thanks Kings for your hospitality…!!!

H&D Roadhouse…Bikes ‘n Babes

     In the few short years that H&D Roadhouse has been open, it has become Brevard County’s primo Biker Bar, featuring bikes, cars, and of course…BABES. We’ve tried to cover those categories today in Old School Biker Magazine. We ask on behalf of Harry and Deb Vigliano, the owners and operators, that you patronize this fabulous establishment….a local business, run by local folks. You’ll be glad you did…we thank you…THEY thank you…! GOD bless you all…

H&D  ROADHOUSE by Miserable George

…..a tribute to our friends who have brought us so much joy…

Like you all, I’m stuck in the house, and what better way to make use of all my time, than to put together a piece to pay tribute to H&D Roadhouse. These images are from the various gatherings we’ve attended at Harry and Debbie’s establishment on SR 520 East, just across from the Lincoln dealer. There is an element of sadness here, in that some of the folks you’ll see are no longer with us, but, I’m sure they are all smiling down, and watching over us all. We pray that this terrible situation we are experiencing presently, will soon go away, and hopefully, we’ll all come out on top. When things DO finally clear up, let’s all get out there and welcome Harry and Deb back into business. They’ve helped many of us down through the years…let’s NOW help them…!!! GOD bless you guys…!!!

JUST A BIT OF NOSTALGIA by Miserable George and Valgal

ValGal and I cooked up this idea to kinda help our readers pass the time of day, now that a lot of you are more or less confined to your homes. The images represent a wide array of subjects that might interest a wide array of readers. Not all will recognize every picture, but we’re hoping that at least SOME of you will. We pray that this mess will be ironed out very soon, and things will get back to “normal”…! Thank a Vet, stand up for your country, and may GOD BLESS AMERICA…!!!

UNITY RUN LEGION POST 359 by Miserable George

It was 41 COLD degrees when I left my place, and headed to Post 359 for the UNITY RIDE for Legion Boys & Girls. Fourteen other hardy souls had gathered there, and were ready to ride. MaryAnn led a prayer for safety, and they were off!! Post #1 was our first stop…for breakfast!!! Then it was on up north to the NSB and south Daytona area, where the group encountered an accident scene and were forced to turn back and seek a detour. Unfortunately, this didn’t work out too well, as the original group was now split up, and did not visit the last 2 planned stops. So, with the cold weather, an unplanned detour, and the scattering of the original group, a bunch headed back to the 359 headquarters where I encountered them later in the day.

I’d like to thank MaryAnn Baggaley and Brenda Pierce for their pictures and assistance…

Warlocks Brevard…38 Years Strong by Miserable George

I’ve been a “hang-around” at this Chapter for over 29 years now…I’ve watched it change, move to new quarters, lose Brothers, gain Brothers, and settle into the huge Clubhouse that it presently owns on SR 520 across from the Ford Dealer in Cocoa, Florida. On Sat., Feb. 15th., 2020, Brevard celebrated their 38th. year, along with the Annual Valentine’s Day Massacre!! Despite some sprinkles, a nice crowd rode in to help celebrate with food, cold ones, a hot juke box, and a bunch of even hotter ladies!! I was fortunate enough to meet up with several Brothers and Sisters whom I hadn’t seen for quite a few years.

I’d like to extend my thanks to the Brevard Chapter for all the help they extended when I was doing my free-lancing with several of the now-defunct (paper) Motorcycle publications…it certainly helped me get a good start!!

Please check out their events…you’ll thank me.

Good Luck Brothers…keep up the good work…
