What happened to Spring ... It seems like we went from Winter directly into Summer! The temperatures have been hitting ninety degrees and we are all ready getting those huge afternoon thundershowers. I love living in Florida but I can do without those big storms everyday! I just hope it is nice for Memorial Day Weekend as we will once again host Freedom Fest in Oldsmar in conjunction with the city and the Upper Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce. This will be the event’s third year and it grows bigger every year! We had over 17,000 people attend the event in 2010 and we are hoping to break the 20,000 figure this year. We have fantastic live music scheduled featuring Stormbringer on Friday night .... Diamond Gray, The Black Honkies and The Greg Billings Band on Saturday .... Jaded and The Dive Bar Stalkers on Sunday ...Wow !!!! We will have a car show everyday (corvettes on Friday, hot rods on Saturday and all makes on Sunday) and motorcycle shows on Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday show features bikes owned by military, police, firefighters and EMTs with Sunday being the big ride-in show. We have great awards and best of all ... they are FREE to enter! Freedom Fest will also feature a Dunk Tank (to raise money for the Holiday Sharing Fund), A Memorial Day Tribute (Sunday morning), Rib Wars (Sunday afternoon) and a Community Stage that will showcase area dance, karate and ballet schools. Mix that in with great food, cold beer and numerous vendors and you can see why Freedom Fest is such a great event! The Annual Five Bridge Run will take place on Sunday May 15th and if you have never participated in this event ... you are missing out on a great run! We travel over all 5 major bridges that connect Hillsborough, Pinellas and Manatee counties and it is a blast! You also have time to make your reservations for the Sore Ass Run that will travel to St.Augustine June 11-12 (see ad inside this issue). I want to send birthday wishes this month out to my sister Debi, my daughter-in-law Christine, our graphic artist Rori, my buddy Georgie and especially my son Tony ... happy birthday you guys ... I love ya! I hope everybody has a great month and I’ll see you at Freedom Fest!
May is the best month of the year! Not just because it’s my birthday month but because it is also motorcycle safety awareness month! And I think this year it needs to be focused on a little more than in the past….There have been quite a few accidents in the past couple months. Some are sport bikes; some are cruisers but ALL ARE BIKERS! Speed and/or alcohol are your enemies when riding the roads of Florida. These cagers are not looking out for us; in fact, most cruisers hate us and would rather run us off the road then be polite and watch out for us! Ride smart and ride defensively! FULL THROTTLEVISION RETURNS!!! Yes, that is correct! We are bringing back Full Throttlevision to a computer screen near you. The new show and format will begin airing online LIVE every Thursday night from 7pm till 8pm ish… If we run over on our time we run over….that’s the best part of it being on the internet, well that and we can say and do basically what ever we want to do! Hint, hint, it will be great! The show will be a round table discussion hosted by yours truly (Tony C.) along with Paul Allen and Mr. 500 (Bob DeMoss.) We are looking for intelligent and funny people who would like to sit in and talk with us every Thursday night. We are also looking for a beautiful lady who might be interested in being on our TV show. Sponsorships are available for each show for $250 per week or you can sponsor us for all 4 episodes that month for a discounted rate of $800 per month. We are also going to have commercials between the segments and web banners on the website. Make sure you go to WWW.FULLTHROTTLEVISION.COM starting on May 12th, 2011 at 7pm. That will be the first show! There will also be a chat screen on the side where you will be able to interact with us and ask us questions as we are discussing topics live. Tell your friends about the new and great show to hit the digital airwaves and make sure you watch us live on May 12th! Rev it up!!!! May 15th is the date we have picked for the 9th Annual Full Throttle 5 Bridge Poker Run. This is a great event that travels all over the Tampa Bay Area and ends over the Skyway Bridge at the WingHouse in Bradenton. In fact we will be visiting 4 Wing houses (Tampa, Largo, Pinellas Park and Bradenton) and our stop in Tampa will be at Brickhouse Tavern and Tap. Who doesn’t want to go see WingHouse girls all day long? We also backed up the run a little so you don’t have to wake up so early. Registration is from 11am – 1pm at the Tampa WingHouse 8001 W. Hillsborough Ave. Full Throttlevision will be filming all day and taking pictures for the Magazine! See you there and remember…FULL THROTTLE ROCKS!!! I would like to say Happy Birthday to a few special people who share this month with me, so Happy Birthday to: my Aunt Debi, my Sister-In-Law Christine, George Talmadge, Vernon the Pizza Man, Bruce Harp, Dirty Wayne, Chuck Carroll, Rori Miller, Diane Pearson, Jessie-Lou, Lennif Mumbles and Bill Church.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON TO BECOME A SPONSOR OF THE 2011 HOKA HEY MOTORCYCLE CHALLENGE New Sponsor for 2011 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge Announced
The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge announced today that Harley-Davidson Motor Company will provide marketing and promotional support for the 2011 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge will present the world’s greatest long distance endurance motorcycle event in August of 2011. The event, the second annual in a series, will begin in Phoenix, Arizona and travel through all fortyeight contiguous States and Canada to Nova Scotia. The route will travel over 10,000 miles requiring passion and determination to complete. The event is open to all riders of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Riders can ride the entire route or segments within the route. “We’re excited about what the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge represents to our riders,” said Steve Piehl, Harley-Davidson Director of Customer Experience. “The new direction of being more about a personal test of touring endurance, where rider and machine stretch the boundaries of long-distance touring, appeals to us. It’s a perfect match for the superior touring experience and capabilities of HarleyDavidson motorcycles. ‘Hoka Hey’ translates to ‘It’s a good day to ride!’ and that is always the case on a Harley.” “The Hoka Hey is about being the greatest endurance motorcycle event ever held and we are very excited to become associated with the greatest motorcycles ever built,” said Jim Red Cloud, founder of the Hoka Hey Challenge. “HarleyDavidson’s support and guidance will certainly enhance this ambitious event.” The first twenty-five participants to reach the finish and who ride the complete stipulated route will be recognized as winners and be eligible for monetary awards. Each rider will have the opportunity to designate a selected “home HarleyDavidson dealership” when they enroll. The home dealers of the top five finishers will be eligible for awards and recognition alongside the riders. There will be fifteen check points along the route located at Harley-Davidson dealers where participants must check in as they ride the route. In addition to being an event sponsor, Harley-Davidson is exploring hosting a check point at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For further information about the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge or to obtain enrollment information, visit the event’s web site www.hokaheychallenge.com or contact the office at 480-649-1071 or info@hokaheychallenge.com.

Classic Bike Ramblings REFLECTIONS......HUEY’S............ AND DECORATION DAY "Man I have a three day weekend coming up" This, my friends, is a direct quote from one of my neighbors. I then proceeded to ask him what he was going to do with this "extra" day, he said shop, eat and maybe go to the beach. But at no point in our conversation did I hear "honor our fallen heroes" and this exchange changed the entire content I had written for this months article. You see too many "Memorial Day" has become just that for far too many, just a paid "extra" day off and it makes me mad as hell my fellow Americans. In 1865 the practice of decorating soldier’s graves had become widespread. In the North a proclamation was given (general order #11) on May 5th. 1868 that "Decoration Day" should be observed for the first time on May 30th. This date was chosen because it was "not" the anniversary of any known battle. Although it was first enacted to honor union and confederate soldiers and to help heal a divided nation it was extended after WWI to honor Americans who have died in all wars. As time marched on it was gradually changed from Decoration Day to Memorial Day which was first used in 1882. It did not become common until after WWII and was not declared an official holiday by federal law until 1967. It would be in 1968 that Congress would rearrange 3 holidays in order to make today’s three day weekends for the American public (Washington's Birthday and Veterans Day the other two) and with that my faithful readers Memorial Day would be moved from May 30th. to the last Monday in May beginning in 1971. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) issued this release in 2002 when trying to lobby to change the date back to the original May 30th. date. "Changing the date merely to create a three day weekend has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt this has contributed a lot to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day. What was originally a day of remembrance; a way to express gratitude and visit the graves of past soldiers has changed to a day being increasingly devoted to shopping, fireworks and family trips". And as you all know my friends of the flag, changing and rearranging days and lives has its consequences as we will soon see. Only you and I can put the meaning back into this day, a day for the ones "who gave all". I was at a recent event at Quaker Steak & Lube called "Paws for Patriots" it was an amazing event with so many former and serving soldiers, color guards and patriotic songs ,well there was truly a huge sense of patriotism felt by all there. It was a crowd of brothers, a crowd of men whose lives had been changed by their service to our great country. It was predominantly Vietnam Vets, and some former Gulf war and
Desert Storm soldiers, not many of our Vets from WWII are left and Korean Vets are disappearing just as fast, so please thank these soldiers for their service if you ever encounter them as time is running out to do so. I was too young for Vietnam and too old for the Gulf War. Yes, I was lucky for war does change you and affects your life and the rest of your natural days. My oldest brother did 3 tours of Vietnam and at 6-10 years old I didn't understand "the big picture" that was going on. And many of my friends also served in Vietnam and now many are involved in our sport and I personally have heard many speak of the radio station known as the American Forces Vietnam Network (AFVN) for Vietnam was the first war that had a "soundtrack" for so many songs, helped get so many troops through their tour of duty. The AFVN was founded in August of 1962 in Saigon. The "Network" would become quite famous in 1987 when Robin Williams would play its most famous D.J. Adrian Cronauer in the movie "Good morning Vietnam". It would grow to 9 detachments or "transmitting stations" and its slogan would become "Serving the American fighting man 24 hours a day from the Delta to the DMZ". The fast changing world of electronics during the 60's made sure that every soldier had a portable transistor radio and almost anywhere that Americans served in Vietnam one could hear the news on the hour, the stateside survey and all the sports scores of the day. But the most important transmissions was the constant playing of good old "back home" Rock n Roll and top 40 music that its predominately young audience craved. And let me tell you from 1962 to 1973 there was an amazing amount of music coming from a changing America that would find its way onto the AFVN play list from "Blowing in the wind" by Dylan to "We gotta get out of this place" by the Animals. Most were not written with Vietnam in mind, but so many became the troop’s personal anthems and their connection to their home. And it gave them a chance to
escape the daily horrors, the dark nights of perimeter wires, trip flares and claymores. From the relentless rain of monsoon season and the ticks and leeches and the ever present thought that you may never see tomorrow. At the "Paws for Patriots" event I had the chance to talk to a pilot of a HU-1, "Huey" medevac helicopter ( I will call Him "John" as he asked not to be identified) and he told me of one such song, and a song I have listened to for so many years. Well "John" told me he first heard this song over AFVN radio while on a mission, for when the song came out in 1969 Vietnam was at the height of American troop strength, he than went on to tell me that they had the highest casualty rate of any unit in Vietnam per flight crew, for the enemy did not care about that big Red Cross or the fact they were unarmed. Things were changing so fast "in the country" and music helped them remember home. He said this song still brought tears to his eyes then as now. While this song was in the top 10 on the AFVN he was going 56 days in combat, where as he put it "on every mission I got shot at". This song meant so much to this Huey crew they painted the sixth verse of this song on their left door. The song my musical warriors was "Reflections Of My Life" by a Scottish band called "The Marmalade" it was recorded at the Decca Studio #2 in West Hampstead, London on Oct. 1969, it would take 3 days to record. The song would reach #3 in the UK and # 10 in the good ole USA, our troops own home shores. (I would also like to thank some local musicians who play this song as well or better than the original and really kept me working towards this outcome on this Memorial Day statement, thank you Comfort Zone). It would remain in rotation on the AFVN until the end of the war. The song would become an anthem about going home and about the war for many. It would air a
AFVN Station Personnel month after the TET offensive had galvanized the nation, and begin playing at the end of the deadliest year for the American troops, it was a bad day in Vietnam, but hey it was worse at night ask any Vietnam vet.
The Changing of Sunlight to Moon Light Reflections of My Life Oh, how they fill my eyes
As I walked away from the crowd of vets I thought to myself if this was the first war with its own soundtrack it was also Americas first "Helicopter War", this war changed how troops were inserted, taken out, and supplied. Vietnam with its jungles, wetlands and rice paddies made normal wheeled or tracked vehicles useless. This war was changing how we fought, how we moved and you can thank the mobility of the Helicopter for giving the average troop 240 days of combat a year. The Bell HU-1 Iroquois first flew in 1956 after the Korean war showed the military what an amazing utility platform the right helicopter would be. It was the first turbine powered helicopter in military use. With the ability to carry 11-14 troops or 6 medical litters it could fly at 120 mph with its 1100 hp Textron Lycoming T-53 engine. And its very first combat role would be in the Vietnam War where over 7000 UH-1's would see service in this terrible conflict. The HU1A first entered service with the 101st. Airborne Division at Fort Campbell KY, the 82nd Airborne Division and the 57th. Medical Detachment where it was to be used in testing and evaluation but the Army needed it and needed it now and would quickly be put it into service and the "Huey’s" (so named due to their first HU designations) with the 57th. Medical detachment would arrive in Vietnam in March of 1962. To the crews of the UH-1's that were Gunships they were "Death from Above" and to the troops on the ground they were the "Angels of Vietnam. They were the only way in or out of most Vietnam battles, and when the ground forces were in trouble, out of rations or ammo or needing reinforcements it was the Huey that roared in, kicked out the boxes and laid down covering fire to take out the wounded. The dust would fill all the eyes on the ground, hence the nickname of these Huey’s as “Dust offs"
The greetings of the people in trouble Reflections of my life Oh how they fill my eyes For so many brave heroes it was where they spent their last minutes on this earth or hopefully made it back to the field hospital in that "Golden Hour" and it would either put them back in the troubled fight, or on that "Freedom Bird" that plane back to their own homes back to the warm greetings of chicks in halter tops, bell bottoms and 8 track tapes. 2700 men who flew the Hueys
would lose their lives, all trying to change the outcome trying to keep their brothers in arms from dying far from their own home.
All my Sorrows Sad tomorrows Take me back to my own home 58,169 died in this bad place called Vietnam and another 304,000 were wounded, amputations or crippling wounds were 300 per cent higher in Vietnam than in any other war. Medevac choppers or "Dust offs" flew nearly 500,000 missions, and over 900,000 patients were air lifted (nearly half were Americans). The big number
my war weary pals was this, the average time from when a soldier was wounded and the " Dust off" would get them to help at the hospital was less then an hour, that Golden Hour where their survival chances were tripled. If it were not for the UH-1 there would have been so much more sorrow and death on the battlefield.
Oh my crying (oh my crying) Feel I'm dying, dying Take me back To my own home A mini gun equipped UH-1 Gunship with 2 door gunners would have a rate of fire of approximately 5800 rounds per minute. That my readers is a round hitting every square yard in a football field in less than a minute. Many Huey crews modified their guns to fire 4000 rpm "each". Many of the returning vets had been so changed in Vietnam that they said they turned to motorcycles, much the way our WWII vets did, but not for the camaraderie of motorcycle clubs but as one said to me "to feel something , to feel anything" for our culture of the 60's and 70's failed these returning soldiers terribly . Soldiers were and still are reluctant to talk about the worst, to talk about the dying and the sorrow, about the worst parts of what they had witnessed in this terrible place while "in country" and they rarely speak of how they were changing and the land it self was being changed. You see for four long years our B-52's introduced "Operation Rolling Thunder" and the F-100's brought in bombing runs with napalm and the insidious "Agent Orange" was being used to erase the jungle; everything was in constant
change with our troops and their environment. The average age of a Vietnam soldier was 22 and many were in their teens and a lot of them spent their last days there, many were captured and tortured or just murdered by a vengeful enemy. Entire lives and families were changed. Our heroes were living one minute to the next; doing without the things we take for granted all the while just wanting to go back to their own home.
I'm changing, arranging I'm changing I'm changing everything around Everything around me The Huey’s saw 7,531,955 flight hours and went through numerous model and engine changes both by Bell and by their crews who became known as the "Cowboys of Aviation" Unlike WWII aviators the UH-1's normally flew below 1500 feet and anything the NVA had including pistols could hit these birds, and with no armor they took their fair share of hits but even when the Huey crashed it often remained intact enough to keep the crew and troops in one piece. They could endure a lot of abuse and keep going. There were various terms for the different jobs the UH-1 was given. Huey’s used for ground attack or armed escort were fitted with rocket launchers, grenade launchers and machine guns. These Gunships were referred to as "Frogs" or "Hogs" if they did carry rockets. If they only carried mini guns they were called "Cobras or just referred to as "Guns". UH-1's set up for troop transport were often called "Slicks" due to their streamline appearance as they had no rocket racks or weapon pods although they did carry door gunners. They were then arranged into groups Huey’s that carried troops were blue teams and the soldiers they carried became known as "the blues". The recon or observation teams were known as White and the attack teams were the Red. The USAF would fly Huey’s known as "Green Hornets" and the Navy had UH-1B's set up as super gunships to support the Navy river patrol operations and they were known as "Seawolves", all 4 branches of our services would use Hueys in this war. Painting sayings on the Huey’s was carried over from WWII pilots, and "nose" art was ever present, Huey’s with" Jefferson Starship", "The Judge", "Canned Heat" or on the fuselage of one "Slick" this saying "Swooping down from the skies to pluck infantry from the gates of hell". This was a bad place but the Huey's gave all the troubled men hope, that distinctive whoopwhoop-whoop sound of that 48 foot main rotor meant help was near just hang on, and for the Huey crews who had the guts to keep
coming back to hot LZ's again and again, well the LZ was a terrible place to be. These helicopters meant life for you and death for the enemy it was that simple. Although the AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter was gaining a bigger role in the conflict it would not be until the UH-60 Blackhawk in the 80's would truly replace both its versatility and the loyalty among crews of the "Vietnam Jeep". I have been using verses from a song that I and many vets have come to embrace for far different reasons, a song that was so meaningful my friends, that "John" remember him? from "Paws for patriots"? The guy that got shot at a lot in his "Dust off”, well they painted this, the 6th. Verse of this epic song on the left door of their UH-1 Medevac unit.
The world is a bad place A bad place A terrible place to live But I don't wanna die "John" told me he can't look at a helicopter and not remember the blood, the death and the sorrow inside it, but he said he also remembers how many lived to go back to their own home because of it. As we parted in that hot parking lot amid so many gallant warriors, he said of the Scottish band of 1969 “I don't know
how they could craft the exact words for the times, unless they were there, but they did”. And with that I watched a true hero walk away and felt honored to have his insight and reflections on this historic event. I can not write anything about Vietnam or any war or, what it was like to be there from first hand knowledge... what I know, I have gained from books or the Veterans that were truly there. I was 1 year old when the first US forces landed in Vietnam. But later I remember Walter Cronkite every night on TV talking about Vietnam and of KIA's and MIA's. But I can tell you this 2/3rds of the men who served there enlisted and they made up 70 percent of the casualties in addition over 12,000 National Guard and Reserves were killed. 8.75 Million GI's would see active duty in this conflict and fight for our nations flag but they would receive no parades, no heroes welcome home. The peace settlement was signed in Paris in Jan. 1973.The last American troops would depart on the 29th of March 1973 and the fall of Saigon would happen on April 30th 1975 and the USA would go back and aid in the evacuation of 140,000 civilians and South Vietnamese military. But weather you raised your right hand to serve or you were drafted you did your duty and made your country proud and you deserve the admiration of a nation that sent you there. This Memorial Day you can hate any war you want; our troops are fighting and dying both in the past and at this very minute so you can have that "right". But don’t dishonor the vets who served and let me tell you my friends; respect for the Vietnam vets is so long overdue. Everyone of Americas men and women in our Armed Forces deserves the thanks and respect for being there for us in times of conflict and I want to personally thank every Veteran and every serving member in all our services the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard and it matters not if you have been in battle, you all have known you could be when you signed on for the job and that makes you all heroes in my book. So go celebrate, go to that BBQ and yes you can do some shopping and I know you will be at the beach and it’s ok. But on this Memorial Day my 96 loyal readers please remember the ones that made "The last roll call"

Full Throttle Magazine Hi All… Just sat down to write The Dew Drop Inn for the month. Leesburg was the biggest 4 days of fun. I love the camping and got with friends. I got back and the next weekend we went to a chili cook off . I made a good tasting chili. So if you want me in the next chili cook off tell me and I will be there. Looking ahead to the Freedom Fest in Oldsmar, May 27-29 it will be like Leesburg with good bands, vendors, car shows, bike shows. We are looking for more vendors. If you’d like a booth spot at Freedom Fest they start at $100.00 you can give me a call and I can get it all set up for you. Ok I told you I will have some things for you to think on… 1. What factory is in Leesburg that you can buy chocolate at? 2. What is the place I buy my cigars at? Email me at dewfullthrottle2@yahoo.com Til next time Live life to the fullest and party your @$$ off !!!! Dew

I wrote last month that we need to start buying American - Red White and Blue. It is hard to find anything actually made in America anymore. Maybe if we start to live without America will start to make these things again. I have been told that we have plenty of gas but it makes no sense what the gas prices are. Speculators are making a fortune off of the working Americans. Someone said the other day that people aren't riding their bikes anymore because they cannot afford the recreation. I find that wrong. We get more MPG out of a bike - maybe we need to downsize our bikes. It seems that we have been taken over by Wal Mart - I remember when Wal Mart started they were going to sell all American products - now look at it. They have put so many small people out of business we need to look for these mom and pop stores and try to patronize them. We are buying foreign and we will be owned by foreigners if we aren't already. We really need to think Red, White and Blue.
I have a friend Art Ferguson that I used to work with. He is really good on small scooters and motorcycles. I have a little 70cc bike that had no spark. I also had a speedometer for another bike he wanted. I told him I would trade the speedometer for some spark. It also needed a carb, tires, air cleaner, etc. that I was going to do myself after I got the spark. He ended up doing it all. He brought it to Webster and rode it up to my booth. Boy, I was sure surprised. Thanks Art and the helper who did quite a bit of work on it as well. I have been terrorizing the neighborhood lately with it. The vendors that have been coming to Webster did business with Jackie who took your money and gave you your spaces. You might have noticed that she has not been around for several months. She fell and broke her hip. It seems that one thing after another has happened to her since then - she has been really having a rough time. They have had her in a facility in St Pete for some time - she has not been able to get around. I talked to her husband recently and he hopes that he is going to bring her home soon. We all miss you. See you soon Jackie. Dont forget to go Red White and Blue.

The Ribbon Riders is an organization of professional women who love to ride and are passionate about making a difference. In 2008 they founded the group with 7 women; now they have more than 30 members. The Ribbon Riders, Inc is a grass-roots, all-volunteer organization. Their diverse membership includes a VP of a construction company, insurance executives, teachers, nurses, financial professionals, HR executives, merchandise buyers and a woman who just received her PhD. Each of them has been touched by breast cancer through a family member or friend. They are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that puts money into the hands of local patients to help with immediate needs. The Ribbon Riders Breast Cancer Assistance Fund financially assists breast cancer patients with the relentless costs and needs of fighting the disease. The RR’s mission is to give women direct financial aid so they can concentrate on fighting cancer and alleviate some of the stress about bills. They give assistance with rent, utilities, gasoline and travel expenses, medical co-pays, doctor bills, groceries and other immediate needs. The fund is designed to pay for the expenses not covered by traditional medical insurance. There are numerous social programs to help women with breast cancer pay for mammograms as well as pharmaceutical programs to help pay for the medicine. BUT there are precious few programs to pay for necessities such as gasoline so that a woman can get to the doctor’s office, OR a few dollars in their pocket for parking at the hospital, OR assist in paying rent, because she’s been too sick to go to work, OR put food on the table for her family. The RR’s were able to give financial assistance to more than 70 breast cancer patients in the Central Florida area. They host several fundraisers which includes the 'Go Pink' event. It is held the first Sunday in May, and they also host “Paint the Town Pink” progressive dinner, and have organized and sponsored Bike Shows. Please check them out at www.ribbonriders.org and SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
Hope everyone is enjoying this incredible riding weather, it has been truly amazing!! A special Thank You to everyone for your diligence and support for the many events and benefits that take place, we couldn’t do it without you!! The Westside Chapter of the Nam Knights hosted their 5th annual Pig Roast, April 2nd, and they were able to write a check for approx. $13K for the Hayley House. Since the first pig Roast in 2007, the Westside Chapter has donated nearly $53,000 to this worthwhile charity. KFFK, Knights Forever, Forever Knights…I was honored to personally meet several Nam Knights and Ladies from several city and states that traveled here to show their support, such beautiful People!! This year’s pig roast had a little unexpectant twist…and it just goes to show what BIG HEARTS THEY HAVE! Several participants, supporters, local clubs and groups made very special little boy that is near and dear to my heart, Charlie Mc Nabb, extremely honored when they presented him with his very own leather vest. The Lovely Parti Patti challenged all in attendance to offer patches, pins and any special mementos! It was a truly touching moment to see everyone offer “their special” tokens … there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! A special Thank YOU to Robert Hughey of Rolling Thunder for buying the vest! We are in the process of getting the vest put together and patches sewn, and when it is complete, I will debut a photo wearing it with PRIDE! Don’t forget, MAY is an awesome time of special events to go with this beautiful weather hope to see
you at FT’s 5 Bridge Run, May 15th, always a great time!! The 9th annual BUD RUN, May 21st and May 27-29 Freedom Fest in Oldsmar… Be sure to check out “Florida Full Throttle” Crusin Calendar, Weekly and Monthly Bike nights, as well as our very own Directory full of BIKER FIRENDLY establishments! I want to thank all my loyal readers and supporters, and the awesome people that walk up to me out of the blue to say thank you…NO THANK YOU!!!! It truly touches MY HEART!! Unfortunately, I have been having misc computer issues, and haven’t been able to include lots of awesome photos I have acquired at these wonderful events and benefits. Soon, I will do just a photo collage to show all the beautiful people I meet all over how much I appreciate you!! Keep an eye out!! Also, I would like to ask for a special prayer request for a sweet lady and friend of mine, Lynne Royals, who suffered a motorcycle accident a couple months back, she has survived the accident against all odds and has been hospitalized since. Please keep Lynne in your thoughts and prayers! Until next time….
