Ballbreaker

Nothing means spring like the rumble of a Harley. We had a lot of snow this year so poor Junior has been tucked away in the garage since November. Now don't worry too much; he has his own wool rug, 2 blankets, heat, & whatever hubby plugs him into all winter. I have a feeling Junior will be going out any day now; hubby had him running over the weekend & almost all of the snow is gone.

So today was my first ride of the season. Mr. Ballbreaker has been out at least 4 times this year but I'm a wuss. I prefer riding in warmer weather & it was so nice today! It was getting a little cool by the time we came home, especially when we got near the lake.

New home

2007-03-17T20:39:00.000-04:00

I know I was terrible about updating in 2005 & 2006 but sometimes it's a lot of work. I also have my own site to keep up plus all the other stuff I do. Mr. Ballbreaker doesn't help me with his site so it sometimes goes to the bottom on my list of priorities.

We have relocated this year from New York to Pennsylvania...no helmet laws. I'm sure we will have plenty to do this year!

To go along with our new state & new house I've given the site a new home too.

4th annual Ride for the heroes

2004-08-29T22:22:00.000-04:00

Ride for the heroes to honor those lost on September 11th 2001.

It's so weird how things work. Last year I was totally pissed that we missed this run. this year hubby is part of the club that sponsors the run. It was a very long day & it was extremely hot but it was a good day. The only reason I don't have more pictures is because I did a lot of video taping.

Laconia ~ bike week

2004-06-22T22:20:00.000-04:00

June 10th - 20th
Laconia ~ bike week

We left NY early Sunday morning & made our way to New Hampshire. Some of our friends were going to be there the next day & staying at our hotel plus there were a few who said they might show up at the end of the week.
We had a ton of fun! Of course the main thing we did was ride. It was nice to be able to take the helmets off especially since it got pretty hot a few days. We met a bunch of people, some cool some way weird. Met people from all of the states, from Canada & Ireland.
The only bad points were:
1. I got bit by a spider like our third day there, my arm blew up & I felt like crap so I spent most of that day sleeping.
2. Vince Neil was there the night before we were leaving so hubby wouldn't take me. He told me I was welcome to go alone but if I overslept or fell off the bike on the way home too bad LOL
Our trip home it started pouring rain so hubby sent me to ride in the truck with some of the guys who were towing. Once it let up I got back with him. We were pretty tired by the time we got to Connecticut so we decided to hop on the ferry & relax a bit on the way back to Long Island.

It ended up getting postponed until the spring due to more snow. About 20 of us ended up going to the center today anyway. It was a lot of fun & we got to spend time with the residents.
Afterwards we went to hang out at Fuzzy's with Santa Eddie.

Annual turkey run

2003-11-23T21:05:00.000-05:00

sponsored by IDon'tKnow M/C to benefit the St. John of God Outreach Center (pictures)

An hour before the start time there were already over 1,000 bikes waiting to go.
We started from the end of the first block. The end looked to be about 3 blocks away with motorcycles 8 deep across the street.

One girl brought her dog along. In the morning he was wearing his leather jacket & cap; when it came time to ride he had on his sunglasses & a bandana. He also enjoyed a nice helping of baked ziti at the party afterwards!

A lot of people bailed on the party afterwards, including everyone we met up with, but that really thinned the crowd out. We had a good time hanging out, listening to the band & eating. I won the 50/50 again & a shirt from WBAB. We also were talking with Bubba, who won a 6 foot trophy for bringing in a 41 pound turkey, his son & some of his friends. Wonder how he brought that home, huh??

This was a lot of fun. We got to have breakfast with veterans. They showed us all the cards the local scool kids had made them the previous week for Veteran's Day. I spent most of my time chatting with 2 WWII Navy men, it was very interesting.

Riders of Fire Motorcycle Club 2nd Annual "FALLEN HEROES" Memorial Motorcycle Run (pictures)

We see the September 11th tribute bike at a lot of events and finally took some pictures. My wife met the owner and dumb ass that she is said no when he offered to take a picture of her sitting on it.

Just some pictures of us riding. Unfortunately not all of them came out. It was a cool thing to see; miles of bikes jamming up the LIE on a beautiful Sunday morning.

The ride ended at the Brookhaven Fireman's Park in Ridge, New York.

Ride for the Heroes

2003-08-31T21:12:00.000-04:00

Ride for the Heroes

This run was missed because my bike was still in the shop after getting rammed in the ass at a dead stop. We had really wanted to make this ride since we lost a firefighter friend on 9-11 & my wife is very involved with things related to that day, plus it also happened to fall on the day after her birthday.

We are definitely making it in 2004!

This was a guys only trip. Mr Ballbreaker did ask me to go but it was during Mother's Day, & no other women were going so I passed. Some of the pictures are crappy because I edited them back before I knew how to edit them properly.
