Sturgis bound!

One goal for Cathy’s Help Foundation is to be able to grant wishes for women in need. One wish will be followed through while we travel to Sturgis in the beginning of August. I met a lovely lady named Barbara that heard about me going cross country on the bike to raise awareness for the foundation. After spending time with her, I found out that she is battling the disease and always wanted to make the journey herself. Right away I knew she would become my riding partner for the trip.

I am sad to report that there are ongoing electrical issues with the tribute bike that can’t be resolved before the trip so we had to turn to plan B. I made a few calls and will be driving cross country in the Nash Motorcycle Bus with my family and Barbara with the bikes in tow. We will still go around and see the sites but will get there in style!

I would like to thank Taber and his family for this AWESOME opportunity and support for our foundation!

Be sure to stop by the Buffalo Chip’s west gate entrance as we will be set up with the Limpnickie Lot  and Cycle Source Magazine.

See you on the road!!!!

Music line up

It is awesome when good things happen!!!! Recently I asked for some local bands to step up and donate their time and talent for the crowd. Well we hit the mother load and have not one but three different  bands to entertain you all.

The bands will start around three in the Whistle Post Tavern so do us a favor and help us welcome the following;

Beauregard Higgins is a singer/song writer from Atlanta, Ga. A blend of smooth, soulful island style reggae and indie/folk. Beautiful, Strong vocals with refreshing lyrics. Nothing but heart.

We also have Southern Rock and Mischief that will be belting out bluegrass, rockabilly and hometown southern rock!

My Photos by

Lo Country will also be preforming

Don't be thrown by the name, Lo Country plays rock 'n roll. Although country is definitely an influence, the band is also inspired by punk, metal, blues, reggae, and classic rock. Formed by singer/guitarist Brian "Bronco" Iler in 2007, Lo Country began playing gigs around Atlanta in 2008 as a three piece with "Big Peter" Bowers playing bass and William Allmon on drums. After many successful gigs in and around Atlanta, our heroes decided to improve on their unique sound.

We would like to thank each and everyone one of you!!!!!!
