We have had a great spring! Now we are headed for the Dog Days of Summer and lucky enough to be spending a bit of it in cooler temperatures. In June we will be on a cruise to Alaska, followed by a week in Cape Cod with friends, in August, Gator Ken and Jeani have a house rented in Clyde, N.C so we will be visiting Bobarosa, a cool biker bar on a river that we found last year and enjoying some of the prettiest riding anywhere. Sounds like our life is a vacation…but we have spent countless hours putting the magazine together and attending motorcycle rallies all spring, and at age 70 I am worn out!!! I need retreads!!

This summer we still have lots on the events calendar. In June, OB’s Americana Bike Show with $1000 cash for Best in Show and $1000 for Miss Americana bikini contest happens on Sunday, 23rd. Boot Hill Saloon will be rocking Independence Day! And Pirate’s Pub has their Too Broke For Sturgis Party the 1st Saturday of August. I heard through the grapevine that Patti Miracle is the new co-owner of the old Steel Around Tavern in Astor. After a complete remodel, it will return to the original name, Forest Tavern, on Rt 40 just east of Drifter’s on the River.

We are also waiting impatiently for the huge tiki bar at Drifter’s to get the city’s permission to open!! That is one awesome tiki! Stay hydrated this summer with more water than alcohol, kiss your loved ones often and don’t forget your sunscreen.
