By Tony And Harley Quinn

Well, it’s that time of year again, Halloween, so a few weeks before I run into Jersey Jim from American Legion Post 117 and he tells me about the ride going on. Then an e-mail from Brian Yancey, director of the AL117 Riders comes, and I tell T-Rex get a costume, were going for a ride.

So, on Saturday two days before Halloween, T-Rex is dressing up as ” Harley Quinn” and we’re off, but first a stop to pick up Jeff and Mayhem. Mayhem thinks it’s St. Patty’s Day, but what’s Halloween without your favorite Leprechaun. So, we head down to Post 1 to sign up and get some grub. We line them up and we head down Route 1 to Post 359 in costume and the looks start. Next its Post 348 in the Port, so here comes the freak show down the B-Line. Think people were moving out of the way. At the 348 Paula the bartender ask’s where’s T-Rex, just shook my head and told her she was just talking to her. Of course, that was before the make-up started to run under the warm day we were having. Now up Route 520 to Post 22 for a cool beverage on the new back deck. We wake Big Tom up and tell him to join us for the rest of the ride and he shows right up. Now it’s the home stretch to Post 163 and the 81 for more adult beverages. Then up to Malabar Rd., cross under 95 to the finish line at Post 117. We buy some drink tickets have some great conversation with some spooky people as we get ready for the Halloween party we must get to.

But the Unity Ride had great weather and a good turnout. The objective was, just go for a ride. We stayed at each post about a half hour and rode to the next. And most of us had parties to go to that night. So, by the time we got back to our post the make-up was gone, didn’t win a prize but had a great 100-mile ride.

Ride Safe and Merry Christmas!
