Leatherneck’s Annual Party by Miserable George
The weather on October 26, 2019, went from good, to bad, to worse, to thunderstorm, then, around 4PM, the clouds seemed to be breaking slightly, and I decided to boogie down to the Leatherneck’s CH on Forrest Ave. Well, the party was going, full swing…!!! The skies were actually clearing, the band, “Shovelhed” was playing, the ribs were on the BBQ…things looked good, and, they got better…no more rain all night long!!!The beautiful Elisha was washing bikes, and was busy all night long!!! There were games, drawings, etc…the usual…and the food was fantastic and yes…I did eat too much…couldn’t stop…those ribs were about the best I ever ate!! Pumpkin pie too, in keeping with the season!! As always, friendly Brothers, pretty girls, music, good food…the make-up of a damn good party…the Leatherneck’s had it all. Thank you Brothers for your hospitality…looking forward to the NEXT one!!!
Hey, stand up for your country, and, thank a vet today…without THEM, there would be no parties!!
GOD bless you all…

Biketoberfest with Twisted Minds at Cacklebery Campground by Valgal
This Biketoberfest has been the BEST I have ever attended… In a melancholy way I had the time of my life with my friends… Always the ones missing in my thoughts… But I have been adopted by FOUR young men that I now consider family… My Brothers from the band Twisted Minds, Inc. They somehow have been able to fill a hole in my heart I never thought would ever get full again, YET here they are, Jason, Chris, Rags and of course Jasper… You guys mean more to me than you will EVER KNOW… You constantly show your love for music and friends and family with every moment you are on stage. I will be up y’all’s ass on my birthday so just plan something fun for that fateful day and let’s make good memories… I love you TMI and their Queens with all my heart…. Here are some pictures of that fun night… ENJOY!

Willie’s Tropical Tattoo Chopper Show by Miserable George
Like almost every other Chopper Show at Willie’s….the weather was perfect…maybe even a bit cooler…!!! Our featured model of the day-Renea Hicks- was already hard at work when I got there, posing with a preselected bike, and, it seemed that every time you’d look at her, she had on a different outfit!!! Kudos to her….she worked super hard that day!! Usually, Biketoberfest features a slightly smaller crowd than Bike Week. Well, it started out that way, but as the day wore on, that crowd really grew!! As always too, lots of lovely ladies gracing the grounds in all sorts of eye-catching outfits, and speaking of “eye-catching” , our friend, Ellie, made the scene a little later in the day. Also on the grounds, were Dave Perewitz and daughter, Jody, holder of the womans’ motorcycle speed record…she raced at the Sons of Speed Races the following evening. We ran into “Orange John” Marinelli , former National Record holder in MC Drags, and lady drag racer Lily Padd…very exciting to see all these “fast” people!!! Rev. Al gave the invocation, and the awards for bike show winners were given out. Nice to see ol’ Roadside Marty again, AND, his Dad was there too. They also had a chopper in the competition. Oh yeah, I also ran into Lulu, my old boss!!! I tell ya….Willie runs one hell of a show…always the Thursday of Bike Week(s)…make it if you can. Nice to see all the Vets there again too…GOD BLESS ‘EM. Until next time…stand up for your country, and support our troops…God Bless America…
