THE  MOB…3RD Annual Bike Rodeo by Miserable George

    Despite the gloomy looking skies, and the ever-present threat of showers,

the Third Annual Melbourne MOB Motorcycle Rodeo went off without a hitch!!

This event benefits the Haven House for Children, in Melbourne, Fl. A worthy cause indeed!!

The live band…BLOODSHOT…entertained all day, with back-up from impromptu DJ…Brother Chuckles!

The rodeo events included the Slo-race, Barrel roll, Plank Ride, and the ever popular…WEENIE BITE!!! As always, food and drink were available in abundance, as were a host of pretty girls, tripping the light fantastic all over the grounds!! Lots of nice items in the auction, as well as a 50/50 drawing.

Certificates of appreciation were awarded during the course of the day too…for event winners and to special individuals…All in all, a good way to spend a day, and, for a good cause too. Well done Warlock’s of Melbourne..!!

BIN (bikers in need) RUN 2017 by Miserable George

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!!

What’s English Jim Up to?

Well I have Chatted with many of my old Friends from Florida, since I left for Virginia 7 years ago. Val and Miserable George have been doing a great Job with Old School Biker Magazine.

But Drama beyond my control kept me from getting back to writing and Taking part in The Magazine World where I belong. Being a Parts Manager For a Used Harley Parts Store was fun. Doing Swap Meets and meeting Old Friends at Bike Shows in Virginia, Maryland & Pennsylvania was also part of a Previous Life of Back in the Old Country.

Well as Life tends to go full Circle 2 weeks ago I flew back to my roots. Dispensed the Drama that was bogging me down and now its back to doing Bike Shows and Parties UK Style.

H&D Roadhouse & Old School Biker Magazine’s 2017 Double Anniversary Party

    April 15, 2017…6 years for Harry and Deb at the Roadhouse, and starting OSB’s third year.

The weather was absolutely fantastic…perfect day to ride. The crowd trickled in during the course of the afternoon, and, in no time at all, the place was jumpin’…!!

A good live band in the afternoon to warm things up, THEN, the feature band…DRIVEN…wowed the gang in the evening hours.

As always, good food was had in abundance, the bar was bustling, a 50/50 drawing, and awards were given out to the winning hot rod and motorcycle.

Much to the delight of the guys…there were LOTS of pretty ladies prancing around, and, we DID corner one for a nice photo shoot…thanks CHLOE!!!

Here’s to many more years for Harry and Deb…they’ve done wonders with the place. OSB will always try our best to keep the area riders informed…H&D and OSB….a perfect combination for FUN!!! Hey, that’s what it’s all about…right…?
