Looks like we made it on the web from hog rock....

2009-06-24T13:15:00.002-05:00

I was checking out the pics on US Bike Parties.com today, looking over the Hog Rock pics and the reviews, etc.. and sure enough, there we are (Brandy and I)....

I am sure some of the rest of us are on there (we are most years...)

Hog Rock 2009 - WOW

2009-06-22T07:28:00.002-05:00

Well it's come and gone, and it was a GREAT TIME. I'll be posting most of the pics over on the river rats page (www.chester-riverrats.com)

Hog Rock 09 - Just Days Away

2009-06-04T08:52:00.004-05:00

Man - what a year so far! Between going through hell with my ex-ol lady, pay cuts and layoff's at work, and just overall shit, its been a bit of a test!

Thank god for the bright spots! Brandy and I are doing great and even better yet, it's fucking hog rock time!

Looks like there are around 20 of us going this year, leaving Wednesday at 6:00 and can't fucking wait!

We still have a ton of shit to get ready, the bus needs cleaned and stocked, the trailer needs some welding and repairs, the bikes need cleaned, the beer needs brought and there are close to a thousand over little things, but we are getting close!

All the years combine
they melt into a dream
A broken angel sings
from a guitar
In the end there's just a song
comes crying like the wind
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years

Stella Blue

When all the cards are down
there's nothing left to see
There's just the pavement left
and broken dreams
In the end there's still that song
comes crying like the wind
down every lonely street
that's ever been

Stella Blue

I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel
Can't win for trying
Dust off those rusty strings just
one more time
Gonna make em shine

It all rolls into one
and nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold
for very long
And when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
it seems like all this life
was just a dream

crusty old biker

2009-04-01T11:50:00.002-05:00

A crusty old biker out on a long summer ride in the country pulls up to a tavern in the middle of nowhere, parks his bike and walks inside.

As he passes thru the swingin' doors, he sees a sign hanging over the bar:

COLD BEER: $2.00

HAMBURGER: $2.25

CHEESEBURGER: $2.50

CHICKEN SANDWICH : $3.50

HAND JOB: $50.00

Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, the ole' biker walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled farmers..

She glides down behind the bar to the ole biker.

'Yes?' she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, 'may I help you?'

The ole biker leans over the bar, "I was wondering young lady," he whispers, "are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?"

She looks into his eyes with that wide smile and purrs "Why yes, yes I sure am".

The ole' biker leans closer and into her left ear whispers softly,
"Well, wash your hands real good, cause I want a cheeseburger".

Amazing!

2009-03-10T11:06:00.004-05:00

A doctor on his morning walk noticed an old lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar so he walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"

"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. '"Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, get laid, and don't exercise at all."

'"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?"

"Thirty-four," she replied.

Good day with the boys

2009-01-10T18:53:00.003-06:00

Wow! Baby it's cold outside!

What a cool day. Me, the old man and my boy (LC, Ty and Nate) spend the day at the lake. Started off with some homemade breakfast and then spend the rest of the day riding the 4 wheelers, shooting the BB guns and just getting cold and muddy!

(more pics to come)

Going to the Dark Side!

2009-01-08T11:39:00.003-06:00

Well after another rear tire that only got around 3,500 miles out of it, i am going to the Dark Side.

Just ordered a new Bridgestone G851 130/70/18 ZR (regular bike tire) for the front tire and a Toyo Proxe T1R 215/45/18 ZR High Performance (car tire) for the rear

Friends don't let friends take home ugly girls home (when people can see them or their wife is is around...)
Beauty is only a light switch away
If life is a waste of time, and time is a waste of life, then let's all get wasted together and have the time of our lives
Remember, it's not, "How high are you?" it's "Hi, how are you?"
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity
No matter how good she looks, some other guy is sick and tired of putting up with her shit
It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere
Make love, not war. -Hell, do both GET MARRIED!
If voting could really change things, it would be illegal
Express Lane: Five beers or less

A Happy Life...

2008-12-15T11:59:00.002-06:00

Five rules for men to follow to have a happy life:

1. It's important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.

2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.

3. It's important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you.

4. It's important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.

5. It's very, very important that these four women do NOT know each other.

26th Grafton Run

2008-09-02T19:49:00.007-05:00

What a great weekend.

Saturday was a boy night out on the bikes. It was just right. Good fun, but able to get in bed in time (1:30ish) to get up the next morning for the main event.

The 26th Annual Grafton Run.

Headed into Red Bud. We had around 75 bikes this year. A good pack to ride in.

We blocked traffic at every stop. Ran 8 stop signs and stop lights in a row!

Hard to ever see everyone, but it was a good site to see.

A view from the back of the pack

Phillis, Dan, Me, Miranda, Steve and John Boy at the gas stop after around 80 miles of riding.

Couple of bikes at the gas station outside of Alton

Nat and Norma J - the amazing sisters!

This is the 6th year that Tonya has done this to Jimmy. He is just a bartender from Dupo...

Tonya getting Jimmy all fucked up with body shots

John Boy, Me (in the vest with my mouth open...) Vick and Kenny looking over to see what happened to Jimmy.

Jimmy, after 10 shots. He was left at the bar, used and abused

John Boy and Norma J (This is after I broke a table in half doing my Table Walk Trick...)

Vickie towards the end of a long day. Only 2 more stops from this bar and we were home!

Weekend with the boys (my little 3)

2008-08-25T11:20:00.005-05:00

It was a good weekend with the boys. I had all three of them Friday until Sunday.

We spent alot of time out at the lake, riding the 4 wheelers, shooting the guns and just running around.

Nate is getting closer to the age where he is fun to play with. The other two boys are just a mess!

Not a whole lot to talk about, just a good weekend. Makes you feel good to be a dad.

Nate wearing LC's helmet. He's ready to go riding soon

Highlight of the weekend, feeding Skinny his first adult mouse

David Mann

2008-08-14T15:21:00.002-05:00

I'm a huge fan of David Mann (from Easy Rider fame and elsewhere).
Here are a couple of my fav's that I stole from elsewhere....

Timmerz Run (plus a couple of hard weekends and a furneral)

2008-08-14T11:22:00.013-05:00

It's been a while. It's been fucking busy!

First off, the last couple of weekend have been a little tough. The candle wasn't thrown all the way in the fire, but it's been burning at both ends and is starting to melt all over the fucking place.

Since Lea left I've been just trying to keep busy between the bike, my boys and doing enough around the house to keep it livable (until they kick me out at some point)

Three weekends ago we had the big kshe party at the eagles. It was a great time for everyone there. Me, Roberto and the Silver Back cooked enough bbq to feed an army. The beer was flowing like water and the band sounded great. I took off around 7:30 (drunk). Called it a good day. Next morning I heard that a good friend, Isaac, wrecked his bike (little play bike) on the way home. He died the following Thursday.

So weekend before last I was feeling very bummed out over Isaac. He's wake was Sunday night. Friday I took the bike to work and ended up leaving early. By the time I got into town I was just in a bad mood and looking for someone to have a beer with. Ended up stopping at the bike shop and drank a 6pack. While just hanging around there, Steve and Joe, Phillis and Kenny and Vickie stopped by. We all ended up meeting Fritz and Kathy for his birthday. Ended up turning into a 3am drunken pool party.

The next day I was hanging like a big dog. Ended up sitting around the eagles drinking soda just chatting about Isaac and life. Bo and Steve showed up around 9pm and talked me into a beer. That turned downhill quickly. At 10:30 a had a couple in me and was close to feeling human again. We ended up heading out from the eagles over to Sparta (the Garden of Eden). Had a good time, stuck around until 3:30 or so then road over to Tim's for the rest of the night. Ended up sitting around the camp fire until sun raise. Road home around 7:30 that morning. Very Easy Rider. Very Cool. Helped clear my head a little.

Sunday, slept most of the day, woke up hung over and time to goto the wake. It was huge. 2 to 3 hour wait in line to pay your respects. He was a good guy.

Last weekend I had the boys. It's great to spend time with them. It would be better if I could make it work with Lea, but at least I have them. LC and Nate (and Ty) are all good kids and I couldn't love them more if I had to.

We played most of Friday night and all day Saturday was spent on the pool. Ended up inviting Roberto, YimmyYo, Vick and Kenny and some other over for beer and bbq. My mom wanted the boys for the night, so she ended up taking them with her around 8ish. Then it got wild! Steve and Bo showed up and it all turned into a drunken mess.

Party shut down around 4:30ish that morning. Good times had by all. It was the first time this summer that I had a party like that. Used to do them all the time. I need to make sure it isn't the last for the year!

This weekend we have the 2nd annual Timmerz Run. Tim was killed on his bike 3 years ago now. His little brother Josh and their family puts on the run in his memory. It was a good turn out and a good time last year. Expecting the same this year.

Planning on starting early Saturday morning with breakfast at Al's for everyone. Then to the Pop-a-Top for sign on and the run. Afterwards over to Hawg Mama's for a band and all night party. I'll take the bus over early Saturday morning, so it should be a good time for all.

Pierced!

2008-07-24T14:59:00.008-05:00

Well I did more last night. Been waiting for a while but finally got the nipples done to match the ears, dick and balls!

Whats left? Maybe a couple of surface piercing on the wrists....
