The chilly weather did nothing to deter the nice crowd attending Tiki Day at American Legion Post 359, on U.S.#1,
just north of Port St. John, on March 3, 2018. The live band, “FreeWay” warmed the crowd a bit, I’d say!!!
My favorite burger cooker was there, doing his thing as only HE knows how!!! As always, good food, at a good price!!!
Lots of bikes graced the parking area, as well as 2 hot rods, and a hot, super-charged Vette!!
Some “super-charged” ladies there too!! Thanks girls for posing for this old boy!!
A big “Thank you” goes out to all the folks and riders who have been making this party the success that it is…hope to see you all next month…ride safe, and stand up for your country!!!!
Feb. 3rd. Was kinda “iffy” as far as the weather went, but, that didn’t stop a large gathering of riders and other friends from whooping it up at the first week-end Tiki Party at Legion Post 359, just north of Port St. John, FL. This particular day was extra exciting, as there was a drawing for a 55” TV!! The live band-”HIT ‘N RUN”- was a factor in the crowded dance area!!! Good show, guys!! My favorite cook was there too, making some of the best burgers in Brevard County!! The Tiki Bar out back was bustling, as usual…was it the drinks, or the cute bar-maid…maybe, BOTH!!! Anyway, this is a place where friends and “old soldiers” gather every first week-end of the month, to enjoy adult beverages, dance, and simply have a good time!! Keep it in mind for next month…OK? As always, ride safe, and as I said before….”Stand up for your country!!”
November 11, 2017, started out a bit on the “iffy” side weather wise, but, as luck would have it, the day turned out beautiful.
Upwards of 75 custom cars and motorcycles turned out for the 6th. Annual Indian River Rumble,
held again at American Legion Post #1, just north of Titusville, Fl. on U.S.#1.
Nice crowd, with live bands “Deadbolt”, and “Dead-Eyed Suburbanites” jamming all day!! Hungry…? They had super good hot dogs and hamburgers, and drinks from A to Z!!! Lots of beautiful door prizes too, AND, hand made trophies to all the class winners! As always, we ran into some old friends, and really had a good time. As far as the cars…I believe the pictures tell it all!!
Thanks to the Derelict Car Club for another outstanding event, and to Post #1 for their on-going hospitality!
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!!
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…
