Party At The Wrecking Crew by Miserable George

Saturday, May 12, 2018, started out really murky…thick clouds, and, an occasional spritz. It signaled a possible washout of the Wrecking Crew Party at their new clubhouse in Palm Bay. However, as luck would have it…the bad stuff never really happened…just clouds and a few random drops!!! We rolled in a bit after 2PM, and a decent crowd was already forming.

The One-Man-Entertainment, Frankie Lessard, was doing his thing, the cooking duo, Animals Gone Wild, had their grills and burners going full blast, and, the girls had their various vendor tables all set up…even the Boss’ lady was hawking Jello shots!!! Later, there was a door prize awarding, an auction, 50/50, and of course…the FOOD!!! I even got a nice hunk of local venison!!!

Inside, Tasha and Lara kept the cold ones coming!! Hey, we gotta thank Bonez, Shawn, and all the Wrecking Crew Bros, plus the girls: Carmen, Rachel, Hannah, Sarah, Marlene, Andrea, Daf, Sabrina, Toni, and Wendy for posing for this pesty photag…girls, yer all gorgeous!!! Hope I didn’t miss anyone!! It was a FUN DAY all around!!

Hey, ride safe, and, stand up for your country…!! See ya all at the MOB on the 19th….

LEESBURG BIKEFEST…#22 by Miserable George

April 28, 2018, started out a wee bit on the cool side, but, it certainly didn’t take very long to heat up…I’m thinkin’ it was all those bikers streaming into town that did the trick. Standing on Main St, and looking west, it was bikes as far as you could see…Bikefest 2018 had begun!!!

That crowd just kept growing, and I was told, that it was a record!!

Main St. had become a gigantic parking lot for motorcycles only…NO 4-WHEELERS allowed…

the way it should be!! Market St. was packed with shoppers, all agog with what was offered by the myriad of vendors, featuring food, drink, leathers, jewelry, well, you name it…it was there!! Up on Main St., it was elbow to elbow with big, burly, bikers, to sweet little biker chicks, and of course, the proverbial baby buggies…some of them containing dogs!!! At the 6th. St. Town Square area, the crowd was cooling it, sitting down and taking in the near-by band, a few girls were actually cooling it IN the fountain!!

I had my usual lunch at the Porch Cafe, followed by a nice rest period at the Media Center, where I learned that there would be NO trip to the top of the Lightstream Bldg. till 9 that night!!! Well, I missed that…!

I always enjoy a stroll through the Rat’s Hole Chopper display area, where we eye-balled some pretty radical machines. Later, we took in the Miss Rat Mate contest, followed by the awarding of prizes for the Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show…those trophies were fabulous!! Radical Randy did his usual terrific job as main EMCEE, and it was a pleasure meeting Easyriders’ ace photog again…Don Rogers.

Well, it was getting late by now, and, this old boy was getting pretty tired, so, it was time to hit the road for home. A big THANK YOU goes out to Ken and Amanda for their hospitality and help during my day in Leesburg. Thanks too, to Randy for all the plugs…(Florida’s oldest photographer was one of them)..ya well, I guess it’s true!!

I believe Bikefest #22 will go into the record books as THE big one. If you missed it, make plans to be there in 2019.

Meanwhile, ride safe, and, stand up for your country…!!!

TANNER JAM-2018 by Valgal and Miserable George

I’ve been informed that

this year’s Tanner Jam has surpassed ALL OTHERS!!!!

Iffy weather early in the day didn’t seem to deter attendance at all, as over 40 bikes rode for Tanner after a breakfast at H&D Roadhouse, on SR 520, on Merritt Island, FL. Meanwhile, at the H&D grounds, bands were already started, sales of Tanner items was VERY brisk, and there was a big selection of silent auction merchandise…(thanks David for bidding my painting up to $100 !!) All for Tanner!!

Speaking of Tanner, he arrived with Wild Bill, in Bill’s 1940, fire belching,Caddy-Chevvy! The boy LOVES that car. He may have Cystic Fibrosis, but, in no time at all, he was out back, climbing trees and exploring the huge earth-mover tires next door.

The huge number of bikes soon spilled out of the parking lot, which, this year, featured a bandstand to handle live groups which played for 45 minute gigs each! Big Daddy was there to help with the electronic end of things! Featured bands were:Wicked Garden Gnomes, Undercover, No Pressure, Them Seeds, Loaded Dice, The Action, Rumble Seat, and the Matt Sams Band. Good, live entertainment, all day long!!!

Lots of pretty girls prancing around too, along with super food and drinks. Oh yeah, Debbie Vigliano won a trip to Scotland!!! She was really excited about THAT!!

A big thanks goes out to all the folks who helped make this annual fund raiser a smashing success…Larry and Mo Fallon…couldn’t have done it without you guys, all the H&D staff, and Harry and Debbie, you guys are angels…!! Oh yeah, that parking lot attendant was the prettiest I EVER saw!!! Thank you everyone for a tremendous, fun filled day!!! Ride safe, remember our vets, and…Stand Up For Your Country!!!

Cabbage Patch & Cacklebery by Miserable George

A day in Samsula includes the Cabbage Patch as well as Cacklebery Campground. I got there early on a very cool, brisk Wednesday of Bike Week, 2018. Ran into my friend, photag “Jackman”, and we kinda backed each other up all day long. It was my first visit there, since we lost Ronnie awhile back…I really missed him. Several good bands there, including my friend, BIG DADDY….always a pleasure to see him. Of course, the “biggie” at the Patch, is the cole slaw wrestling. Huge crowd was there for that event.

Hey, where else can a middle aged lady walk around in her underwear in front of hundreds of people, and NOT get arrested!!!

Crazy man…!!! Cold weather, not-with-standing, a few of the ladies bared a bit of skin…oh yeah!! Also, the one man band inside the bar, filled the place to over-flowing…never saw the bar THAT crowded…he was good too!! It was a beautiful day all around, and I thank the Patch and Cacklebery folks for their help and consideration, and all the babes who stood still for my camera. Always a pleasure to visit there during the Biker weeks in Daytona….

TIKI DAY…Post 359 by Miserable George

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!!!!

Bike Night at Giuseppe’s by TroubleMaker

Well this is the third Bike Night at Giuseppe’s Steel City Pizza and as usual things went smoothly and all seemed to have a good time. Both the owner and his son ride. And they love having all of us there. Everything kicked off at 5:00 PM. It’s going to be that time until we go back to daylight savings time. The radio station, 104.7 FM, was back for their part as well and they did a great job.Steel City Pizza always give anybody that rides in 20% off the bill.

One of the things that happens is that you go to the radio station booth right away and get two free tickets. The white ticket gets you a free beer. The Red ticket is another story. Every once in a while they will call some of the numbers off the red tickets. If they call yours then you go to the Rossmeyer’s tent and spin the wheel. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. So far I have been lucky. I have left with something each time. Last night I won a free oil change. But it has been a t-shirt before, and could have been any number of things. Once in a while the radio station has been known to bring their own prize stash as well.

There was a fair number of Motorcycles in attendance. Some classic cars showed up as well. But it is a big parking lot with room for all. The next one is January 18th. I hope to see all of you there.
