$25k and 2500 miles does not make you a biker
The chances of dropping your bike are proportionate to the number of people watching.
The beauty of this is that we have all dropped ’em a time or two and it’s fun to know that we are not alone.
I hope none of these folks got hurt too bad. $25k and 2500 miles does not make you a biker.

Leathernecks MC “FUCK RADICAL ISLAM” Party + May 28, 2016 Party by Miserable George
“Plenty of true brotherhood abounded there that day among the several clubs in attendance”
After several years of bad weather for this event, we finally copped a beautiful day at the Leatherneck’s CH on May 28, 2016, on Forrest Ave., in Cocoa, FL. As always, the guys went overboard for OSB Magazine…as well as good food and music all day long. PLUS, two gorgeous bikini bike wash girls…Becca, and Elle…more than just pretty faces…they worked hard all day!!
Plenty of true brotherhood abounded there that day among the several clubs in attendance. I for one, am looking forward to their next event. Ride safe guys…thank you all for your service.

THE PAN by Marilyn Elmore
This PANHEAD has rocked me to my boots! It’s as old school as things get without time travel to 1957.
This bike is a daily rider. She’s owned by a man whose life is an epic old school biker tale: Flash.
Flash is always looking for the motorcycle that’s priced right and ready for his personal touches or rebuild. The Pan spoke to him from the start. She was brought to Flash’s attention while visiting a source who had a bike that had literally been destroyed in a fire, (a bike I plan to feature in the future). Flash asked about the Panhead and was given a figure. It wasn’t in his plans at that time, and he kept to his original path: buying the burn bike.
Flash never forgot the rigid-framed pan. She kept pulling at him. Nagging him in the back of his mind. After several years had rolled by, the pan’s owner had passed away and the remaining heir remembered Flash‘s passionate interest in the panhead. The heir wanted the bike to go to an old school biker who could appreciate the girl for her old school chopper characteristics while honoring his brother’s creation and memory. It was the right time and everything fell into place for Flash and the Pan.
This PAN is definitely what this “OLD SCHOOL BIKER” admires in a motorcycle….
