Tail of the Dragon - Our Friends' Ride

Our super good friends John and Nancy rode their bike to West Virginia's Tail of the Dragon recently. John brought in some nice pics. He is the first person to represent Freedom Thirteen Cycle there! So cool! If only the black bear hadn't stolen John's vest. ;)

 

Biker Night, June 24, 2015

The blogging biker chick is back with another rendition of a cool-ass biker night at Erin's Pub, Truck World. I could go for another cheeseburger. Mmmmm, The Smokestack! 🍔

Veteran's Memorial Bike

Iti's so nice when people create memorials. This is John's bike. With great care, he had it painted and modified to memorialize his comrades who didn't return from the Vietnam War. Everywhere he goes, they ride with him. When you see John out and about, remember to welcome him home, thank him for his service, and check out his two-wheeled memorial. 

USA Apparel

At our store, we try to carry USA-made items. We just got these in today. Not only made in the USA, but right here in Ohio! 

Rain = Sucky

Today's rain sucks. But we aren't just fair weather bikers (luckily). That is all. Carry on. 

Biker Night, June 10, 2015

Sunshine and motorcycles and bikers - oh my! Biker night, every other Wednesday for now. 

Come on out next on June 24th to Erin's Pub at Truck World in Hubbard! We close our store around 6, but folks start gathering around 5:30 on the patio. Everyone is welcome. 

Paradise On Two Wheels

Today was our first long ride of the season. Our good friend John was able to ride (everyone else was busy, and the outreach to ride was short short notice).

We met at Truck World. 

Here's John and Bryon. 

Then we hit the road around 11:45. Traveled north on Rt. 7.

Stopped at the biker-friendly Paradise Bay Waterfront Grill & Bar for some much needed food. 

Then we went through Geneva-on-the-Lake. (We may have a video from the Go Pro to post here).

The causeway on Rt. 88 is always a nice stopping point.

We stopped back in Hubbard for coffee and a long chat. Man, what a great ride. 

First Ride, FINALLY!

We finally got to ride yesterday!

Wind. Yes to wind. Wind please! 

THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!

OMG! After running the store all day, we came home and went straight to the garage to get Spring Thing put together: gas tanks and lines back on, check the cables, adjust the handlebars. Check. 

Then it happened: Silver Knight turned the power key, grabbed the throttle grip, and pressed the start button. SHABANG!!! It started! Well, after a couple gurgles of the oil (which leaked out a bit), and a few knocks on the solenoid, Spring Thing breathed and exhausted for the first time since October when the throttle cable broke. 

Whatever! It's running, and that means we'll be riding this weekend! And the forecast is for sunshine! We finally get to ride free like the rest of the bikers! One more exclamation mark - YAY!

1st Informal Outside Bike Night

Yes, an informal bike night. Where? Why, at Erin's Pub located in Truck World Mall in Hubbard! We've been gathering biker friends over the winter (that horribly freezing cold, miserably icy winter). Great people, great bikers. 

With a break in the weather, we moved out of the Globe restaurant into the sun and air. So many people came over on their bikes. And Ed and Billy brought over "Betty Boob", our lovely 1/2 mannequin with a fresh chest tattoo. 

Have you eaten the food at the Globe yet? It's good!!! Take a seat at Erin's Pub and order the Globes food while you sit on the patio. That's what we do. Oh, and don't drink your pitchers of Mt. Dew in the parking lot cuz some asshole might assume ya got a pitcher of beer. 

More bike nights? Yeppers!! Every other Wednesday right now, so the next is June 10th. 6pm to 10pm. Come on put and chill with us.
