LETTER
I
am taking the time to write this month’s editorial in the middle of setting up for Hell on Wheels. There is a ton that goes on behind the scenes. From months of planning and coordinating, to working with vendors and sponsors, and then throwing in the mix of satisfying attendees. It is a large task for anyone to take on, whether a small event or extremely large. Heck, sometimes the larger events seem to be easier than smaller or more intimate events.
The toll from entertainment goes unnoticed most of the time and it should. To place into perspective, I will have slept in our road bus more than my own bed by the beginning of November. There will be more showers in stalls in a field and in hotel rooms, than my own. There will be more nights away from family than most. There is a deep passion to entertain. It
is a “high” that can only be experienced from watching the crowds. I watch how people enjoy themselves. I watch for smiles, laughter, and how people are interacting. I look for emotional triggers that get spectators involved and engage with them. I have our sponsors in the spotlight and show gratitude at every level of appreciation. It is a motivator. It is an experience to bring pleasure to all who are able to attend any event or show our crew works with. It is our goal to entertain you so you can escape for a moment and take that moment to enjoy life. For me, my biggest rewards are two fold. On the one hand, I get to be a part of bringing that moment or experience to you. I get to meet so many people coast to coast. I, and the crew, work very hard to create those experiences that make life-long memories that you talk about for years. That is one of the biggest rewards of what we do. The second is to come home from one-too-many long days and nights on the road to some of the most amazing girls and our fur kids. The moment I walk through that door, it is an experience without words. It is peace. Everything is left at the door. From the pouncing of puppies and their licks, to seeing “my sunshine” and her smile of an ever growing up teenager, to the welcome home kiss of my beautiful wife, followed by the laughs of “Ok, now go get a shower before you sit down and relax”. It is home. It is the biggest reward of all. I realize every time

leaving I am missing out on something, whether good or bad. It takes a toll, as sometimes I have missed some special moments. But, I know what I do get is all the stories and shared memories and the experiences of my girls and our family. Hell on Wheels marks year 9 for us at Garage71 and Grease Inc. It has been a roller coaster of a ride. The experience has been amazing thus far, even through all the challenges we go through, hoping only for people to see our intent and end goal. I want to thank everyone who has shared an experience with me and my crew. It is you who inspire us to entertain. It is you who challenge us to do better each and every time we are in front of an audience. I look forward to many more years to come. As we set up Hell on Wheels, we are continuing to work on other events like the Thunder Beach Rally at the Boardwalk Beach Resort, to Ink & Oil Awards Show in January. We live the lifestyle. We are dedicated. We appreciate each and every one of you that have come out to one or several of our shows. Those who have supported us by getting a subscription or buying some merch. We thank our advertisers, sponsors, and endorsements, and value every one as an individual relationship. We appreciate all the feedback and years of great laughs and good times. 2018 is right around the corner. As we head into our 10th year, I look forward to all the new experiences ahead. We will be bringing Hell on Wheels to Great Britain next year, in addition to returning to the Atlanta Dragway next October 12th & 13th, 2018. We look forward to making several announcements this winter on our 2018 schedule. Please check up on us on social media on a regular basis and visit our site at garage71.com. Thank you for 9 years!!! Until next year’s blow out, ride it like you stole it.....

Dear Grease Inc., My friend Steven Youngblood recently wrote you wanting to see if you would be interested placing his 78’ Harley Bobber in your magazine, Grease Inc. We did some shots of it in hopes you like her. Here are some images from that shoot. Larry Douglas Volk Jr. (photographer) Thanks Larry! It’s always a treat to see what Youngblood has in the works. Youngblood has been building some eye catching rides with some serious attitude and style. We look forward to featuring the Bobber in a future issue of Grease Inc. “Big Boy”

YOUNG LOVE AND BIKERS by John Landstrom of Blue Moon Cycle
I
t was the mid-sixties; the summer of love was right around the corner. Some of us were in high school around this time. Back then, you were what you rode or drove. In my Chicago neighborhood, if it had four wheels it had better be a ‘57 Chevy with a Hurst shifter and open headers. For rich kids in the suburbs it may well have been a GTO or a Corvette. I only cared about motorcycles. When I was seventeen I bought a BSA lightning, my friends rode Triumphs and Nortons. Jap bikes were the new rage but for my band of hooligans, British bikes still ruled, kick start only and the louder the better. A few years later it would be Harley Sportsters but that’s another story.

So, what did young girls care about? Boys naturally! And what kind of boys? Bad boys, greasy haired boys who wore leather jackets rode motorcycles. Bikers were every parent’s nightmare and I’m proud to say I was one of them. Let’s take a look at the 1960’s comic book version of the Great American Biker, a time when men were men, motorcycles had kick-starters and women watched.

“N
o Shave November� is among us. With
that said, if you are going to grow
out your facial hair, you need to ensure
it is healthy and maintained. Recently, we got to hang out with Justin Roberts, owner and creator of Whisker Whiskey and this is what he had to say.

“Our unique blend of oils will tame that razor wire you call a beard. Our blend of oils will moisturize and make even the driest, gnarliest beard become healthy, soft and manageable. Our beard oils are made from 100% natural ingredients and will help your beard grow stronger, thicker,and faster, while reducing “beardruff” and itchyness. We have a choice of several manly scents that make you feel like your holding a chainsaw in one hand, and a bottle of ‘shine in the other. All of our products are handmade right here in the USA.”

Justin is a former US Marine and Iraq war veteran. As many are aware, it is important to us to support local business, as well as our veterans and currently enrolled troops. We must stand proud and tall together for our freedom and for others who are not as fortunate as us.
This November, as you grow that manly beard for the winter season, support local business by going to www.whiskerwhiskey.net/home.html The holiday season is here and what better way to fill a stocking is with a little bit of Whiskey inside...

Y
ou have probably heard of the fabulous company Red Dolly Swimwear. It is very well known for creating retro swimwear, like high waist bikinis and flattering one pieces. They are available in adorable polka dots and other fun prints for women, girls, and babies! However, Red Dolly is expanding! You can now get great vintage reproduction dresses from Red Dolly Vintage. This particular style is great for the Fall season. You can throw on a cardigan and tights, and be ready for cooler temps. The print is Mystic Mountain. I love how it gets me in the mood for the season! Snow capped mountains and evergreens adorn the full circle skirt. Red Dolly Vintage has dresses for all occasions and are available in sizes up to 2XL. Red Dolly Designer Heather Stepanik graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising in 2004. She was a bridal seamstress for a few years before starting her swimwear line. Her line has really grown worldwide and is a staple in many pinup girls’ wardrobe. You can order directly from reddollyswimwear.com or her products are available at stockist online and a few stores in the states. I love the contrast of the red and green in this dress, so picking out accessories was fun! I am wearing a new piece from the Autumn line from Luxulite. The green and brown berry brooch is a 50’s style bakelite look. It is a great addition to your dresses or cardigans for the season! Luxulite is available on Etsy. She is a jewelry making genius! The Red June Queen Heels from Lola Ramona really popped with the mostly green dress. They are leather with rubber soles. These are the perfect classic looking heels. They are comfortable enough to wear to the office, and classy for an evening out! Have fun putting together a Fall look of your own and don’t forget to visit my featured designer’s shop!
