Most of us will never experience what Brian Tafoya is experiencing right now….waiting for a new heart…!

And again,

Harry and Debbie and the crew at H&D Roadhouse, pulled out all the stops by providing a venue for this huge benefit party to help Brian with all the expenses connected with with this up-coming operation.

There were many door prizes to bid on, a 50/50, non-stop music(live) all day, food and drink, AND…babes…man, I tell ya…if only I were 30 years younger..!!

H&D Anniversary Party by Miserable George

Sat., June 30, 2018 started out looking OK, weather wise…HOWEVER…as the day progressed, that nice weather turned bad, forcing BIG DADDY’S Band to quickly move inside, from the brand new back-yard band stand, into the safe and dry confines of H&D Roadhouse, where the big Anniversary Party was in full swing!!

Boss Harry was out front “patting” together his own custom, hand made hamburgers….no “ready-mades” for H&D, these were the real thing!! The girls were hawking 50/50’s, and Jello-shots, and people were putting the dance floor to good use!!

I actually DID run into an old friend from like, 16 years ago, who did a little photo shoot with me back then…she looks even BETTER now!!! As the day progressed, the weather actually DID improve…even saw 2 or 3 bikes!!!!

Hey, we certainly wish Harry & Debbie all the best of luck with their enterprise….

we call it…”The Best Biker Bar in Brevard County”…

pop in sometime…you’ll see.

Thanks to the staff too, who always treat us like royalty.

Ride safe, and, stand up for your country…

A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR HARRY AT HD ROADHOUSE by Miserable George

After about a week of frigid weather in our area, it got warm again, just in time for us to celebrate the big 62 for Harry Vigliano, (with wife Debbie), the owner of our favorite Biker Bar, H&D Roadhouse. The crowd was greeted by a live band, and one of the most fabulous spreads of Italian foods that I’ve seen in a long time!! As most people know, in this area, Harry is known for helping people in need, by providing a place for charitable events, fund raisers, and, poker run destinations…his hospitality knows no bounds!!! His expertise as a business man and host, has transformed a once failing establishment into an active, thriving place for fun and entertainment!! Plus, the large area out back, provides a pleasant, shady place to relax. Harry…you’re the MAN!!!! Happy Birthday, my friend, and may you have many, many, more!! I know Rachel was smiling down on your special day!! May GOD continue to bless you, sir…as well as Deb, and the entire staff…

RINGING IN THE H&D ROADHOUSE NEW YEAR by Miserable George

Well, 2017 went out with a miserable cold spell, which did reduce the number of bikes on the road…maybe this was a good thing…considering…!!! This, not withstanding, a nice festive crowd gathered at H&D Roadhouse on Sunday night, Dec. 31st., to usher in 2018!! The live band, “Undercover”, whipped the revelers into dancin’ shape in no time at all, and, Harry whipped up some very tasty food to fuel up the crowd, and keep them going till the magic hour!! Out back, they got a nice bonfire going, to keep warm while watching the area fireworks. Finally, the count-down began…the magic hour was here…it was the long-awaited 2018!!! Everybody sipped free champagne, blew horns, and did the customary hugging and kissing. We sincerely hope that everyone has a happy and prosperous 2018…God Bless you all…

H&D Roadhouse Halloween Party by Miserable George

Friday, October 27th., found ValGal and I over at H&D Roadhouse for their annual Halloween Party and Costume Contest, and, we certainly were NOT disappointed.

Val went as a witch, and me…..? Well, I chose NOT to dress up, I look weird enough!!! As everyone knows by now, Cupcake Debbie has been a bit under the weather, but, she surprised everyone by sneaking in as a GORILLA!! Even her best friend didn’t know it was her!! Needless to say, we were all glad to see her out and about again!!

There was one “wardrobe malfunction”…which of course, I missed…! The band was HOT, the costumes were COOL, and, the winner was Barmaid Jane!!! She won a cool $100, while 2nd. and 3rd. won gift certificates.

All in all, a nice way to spend an evening…a COOL Florida evening!!!  

See ya next time…ride safe…

REMEMBERING SALLY by Miserable George

I first met Sally at an ABATE meeting back around 1990 or so, and I must admit, she stopped me dead in my tracks!!! She literally took my breath away! I wasn’t all that nuts about ABATE meetings, but, I attended them from then on!!! I believe this lady affected just about everyone in that same way with her good looks and friendliness. I lost track of all the tools and parts I purchased at “Sally’s Bargain Barn”, her place of business, where bargains abounded for sure!!

But, the big “C” doesn’t play favorites, and yes, she was stricken awhile ago. She fought the valiant fight, but, it was just too much to handle, and we lost her several weeks ago.

A service was held at Port St. John Baptist Church this past October 20TH. with gatherings at Warlock’s MC and H&D Roadhouse, to celebrate her life.

I believe Heaven truly gained yet another ANGEL…here on Earth…she will be missed.

May GOD rest your soul, dear Sally…

Happy Birthday, Rachel

Several weeks ago, we were shocked, and saddened by the passing of Rachel VanOrman, a beloved daughter of Debbie and Harry Vigliano. Rachel could often be seen scampering around behind the bar at the family business, the well known H&D Roadhouse.She liked to participate in the bike washes, held at special events as well.

GOD chose to call her home just before her Oct. 14th. Birthday,

so, it was on her birthday, that friends and family gathered at H&D Roadhouse to celebrate her life. A huge crowd toasted Rachel, and sang “Happy Birthday” to her…I could sense her looking down and smiling! We’ll never forget you, Rachel…may GOD REST YOUR SOUL…
