Occasionally an event really surprises me! I was lucky enough to be able to make it out to Howlin Wolf in Melrose for their yearly B.D.B.S. Throttles & Bottles Bike Show which was really an old school bike event complete with excellent pole dancing, burn outs, food vendors and great looking motorcycles. The live music by Higher Ground kept the crowd singing along with a lead singer that resembled Charles Manson. The owners of Howlin Wolf, James and Mark have really worked to make this bar old school fun! The bar has a Thursday night bike night and now that it stays light longer, we may have to jump on the bike and check it out soon.
Flags made by Truett, owner of Lit’l Caesars Dive Bar in Interlachen, were raffled to raise funds for Scooter Long recovering from a major motorcycle accident. Thanks, Truett and all who purchased tickets.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the BDBS stands for Bikers Doing Biker Shit. On a sad note, the founder Big Tim Myers died this fall and this was the first event that his wife Alisa organized alone to keep his bike show going. She did an excellent job and I know it meant a lot to her that everyone had an amazing day in his memory!
