Andy, that was quite a sight

I was working at the lake on Friday and the whole place was a constant roar from all the bikes. It was pretty awesome. Every one of the guys I talked to as I was delivering a lot of the bars and grills were very polite and were amused at the huge Hiway Patrol presence. I'm sure they are used to it there is a certain aura that follows the Hell's Angels. Sorry to hear that some of their brotherhood got into trouble because a lot of the ones I bumped into were perfect gentlemen. Most of the ones I talked with were from Ohio and the Carolinas

I too ride a Harley and have more than a few tattoos, but I have no desire to live the stereotypical Hell's Angel lifestyle. I suspect that a lot of those guys are model citizens in their everyday lives, they just happen to belong to a club or gang if you will that has a colorful past that lends itself to the outlaw image.

I must also say that I have a lot of respect for those guys and their dedication to throwing a leg over their scoot and head'in out across the country. There's no way I wanna ride my boneshaker even half that far. That's a surefire recipe for a achy back and a good case of monkey butt.

Say...by the way if you ever see a U.S Foodservice truck at Angus's Steakhouse there in Eldon on a Friday afternoon stop by and say hey it'll be me. It would be cool to meet. Maybe we can get together this winter and do some varmint hunting


Later,

Billy
