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….

A 1970 “GOAT”…..by Miserable George

   It took us awhile to actually get this shoot set up, but, as you can see, it was worth it. Greg Stroup and his wife, Vivian, are the proud owners of this primo, carousel red,

1970 Pontiac GTO.

Greg shops at the store where our beautiful model, Tonya, is employed, and it was her who started the ball rolling. They’ve owned the machine for 7 years, and have no plans to part with it. However, if a decent enough offer should pop up, Greg says he MIGHT change his mind.

Shoot location is Lone Cabbage Fish Camp, on a perfect Florida day!!!

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…!!!
