Brothers of the Third Wheel Trike-In

The organization, Brothers of the Third Wheel, is home to trike-owning and riding enthusiasts. A local chapter, Borderline Trikers based in Sharon, PA, hosted the 15th annual trike-in August 14-16 at a campground in Andover, OH. 

Thirteen Crew members headed north to check out the trikes, enjoy a cookout, and hang with our triker friends, many of who are also Crew members. 

Here are some pics showing the different ways that people live a three-wheeled life!

This ultra-decked-out trike came in all the way from Ontario, Canada:

These folks like to make people do a double-take (yes, it's a casket):

Then there are the trikes built from old Volkswagons:

And the Harley-Davidson and Goldwing trikes are a popular modern style:

1st Annual Bike Show @ Hubbard's 4th National Night Out

Tuesday, August 4th, 2015, we held the 1st motorcycle show in conjunction with the Hubbard, Ohio city and township police event, National Night Out (NNO). During a conversation with Chief Coonce in the late spring, he suggested that Freedom Thirteen could organize a bike show for NNO. No problem! All of us wanted to demonstrate that bikers are goid people, and this was a perfect opportunity. 

Our setting was around the Kiwanis Bandstand - it was a perfect setting and the weather was beautiful. 

Bikes were voted on by the mayor and trustees; best in show voting, so winners were chosen by whatever struck the judges. The 1st place winner was John S.'s veteran menorial bike:

2nd place went to Chuck H.:

And 3rd place was won by Mike S.:

We had a great time. A large portion of participants met at the Truck World parking lot to ride in as a group. Here's what it looked like traveling south on Main Street!

That is so awesome! We've been asked to do it again next year. Hell yeah we will! 

We'd all like to thank the Hubbard police and the community for their support and hard work.

Lots of sewing has been going on at the store. From club patches, to expressive patches, to transferring old beloved patches from old to new vests, Stitchblade has been busy! Check out some of the work:
