Bike Bash

[m143]

I remember that UJM fella on CW Forums getting triggered by stuff like this.

[Fatfatboy]

 The UJM fella started a facebook page called Friends of Cycle World. You could post this on there and see if it triggers him.
I’m not sure if it would.

That is a blast of the past.
The best bike bash I’ve ever seen was at a weekend biker trash party in the sticks of Missouri.
They hoisted bikes up a tree swinging on a larch oak tree branch and drunken bikers would flip a buck or two for swings of a sledgehammer at them. When the bikes were completely trashed the rope was cut and the bikes were tossed into a huge bonfire one by one.
Man, that was a great weekend.
Southern rock cover band set up on a flatbed trailer, drag races in the dirt, slow races, weenie bite contests, and all that biker stuff.
One great memories or made of.
I still have a trophy on a shelf in my office for the tire drag race.
I was the idiot in the tire eating cornfield dirt. Man that was fun.

lol!!!!!!!!

I actually gave that poster to my friend who is a original
Founding member of Murdercycles MC .

Kaiser was a well known guy. Hated jap bikes which was sort of normal at the time.
He was one of the first to be making leather bags.
This was mid 70’s I guess.
Had an Indian chief with a side car that ran a bear rug with complete with head .

Now my buddy whom I gave  the poster to , as a kid he lived down the street from Kaiser . My buddy’s mom would make him use the sidewalk across the street to avoid going by Kaiser’s place. Lol. So u can understand why I had to give the poster to him .

Reverend  Kaiser actually. He ran a biker church .
Murdercycles a couple of years back actually had a rev Kaiser night at the clubhouse where some of the former church members shared photos and stories of the dear Rev.

Several decades ago I had a professor whom rode one of those boat tail sportsters . “71? Anyway this guy was one of the persons that started the motorcycle rider training deal in Ct. Dr. Stu Bennet was his name . he told  the class how a guy applied to be an instructor. Yes ! It was Kaiser . Can you imagine a peg legged madman with an Indian bear rug sidecar , a motorcycle safety instructor? I laughed my ass off being I knew Kaiser .surprised Dr Stu that somebody in his class knew the guy.
But hey! I gave his story cred.

I did know Kaiser somewhat  because he was set up next to me vending at Indian Day.  Fat2 mentioned HondaRider919 going off of he saw this bash poster? Lol! Well some old Indian dealers when Indian went out of bizz eventually picked up Kawasaki . A Kawasaki dealer was set up at Indian day . First time anything but Indian was there. Kaiser was fucking fuming! I spent the afternoon listing to him rant . And rant he could being a preacher ! Wow.

Now how did I get the poster? Well I worked and rode with a guy that ran the swap  meets in the Watertown drive in and later terryville Ct fair grounds . When he retired and cleaned out his house moving to Florida he gave me the poster.

Speaking of Florida . Rev Kaiser moved to Florida years ago and later commited suicide.
But that doesn’t end the saga of Kaiser .
As originally posted for this thread   , it looks like the spirit of kaiser has been resurrected .
If my back allows it, I am having some work done on my back that week, I will be there March 15 is it?
My buddy owns a towing service so I guess he ends up with a lot of broken unclaimed gold wings.

I just turn 73 this week . And of course the older one gets the more reminiscing one does. And then I come across this thread!!!!
I wasn’t always this arthritic old fucktard. I used to be out and about everywhere there was motorcycles and beer and what have you. But Boy am I out of the loop!  Pretty sad actually. I could write a book but who would believe it?
At least a chapter dedicated to Kaiser has you guys that dug up proof!  Lol.

“the tire drag race.

Someday I will tell the story of one of the most disgusting things I ever saw when waking up with a massive hang over.

[Fatfatboy]

I'd believe it, even without the proof, and would enjoy the read as much as I enjoyed your latest.
None of us plan on being arthritic fucktards. There are two other options. One is to live a boring life just watching people live and then die with a well together good looking body or to die young. I like the first option.
 Yeah, getting older leaves us with unwanted pain and broken down innards but as long as we can remember what got us there we did good.
In the words of Hunter Thompson, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

As for Steve, the hondarider, I really don't think he would go off. He seems to have mellowed from what I have seen on the FofCW page. Maybe the poster should be posted over there to proof me wrong or right.

The boatail Sporty, what a collector. Complety hated at the time but I'd love to have one. I had the chance to buy a boatail shovel for $2500 bucks in late 80's. I choice a 73XLCH at the time because it was 1500 bucks and I liked it better. Palm to face. I probably would of butchered the boatail shovel anyway.

[hacksaw]

We both made this an interesting read. Well Steve was a bit more excitable in years past , but he loves playing the game. He will see the poster when I get around to putting it on HG. He is a member.
I just haven’t decided to post the whole story or not. Idk how they are going to hang a gold wing . Maybe just off a wrecker

Somewhere Steve posted a bunch of jap bikes with high selling bids mecham auction
I told Steve how surprised I was to see the winning bid prices fall off this year. lol.

[Fatfatboy]

I don’t remember a wing being hoisted at any bike bashes I attended. I believe they were mostly UJM’s. They threw a rope over a branch tied one end to a bike and another end to a bumper on a truck and pulled it up and left it hanging until it was beaten and reversed the truck back to put the bike back on the ground.

There was a bash at the Cabbage Patch when I went to bike week. The bikes were already hanging so I’m not sure how they raised them.

[hacksaw]

Maybe MCMC won’t hoist the Wing.
Checking Kaisers poster the bike being  bashed  isn’t hoisted.

To this day I still have the drunk chic yelling Harley or Honda (coolie cup) in my head from the time you took me to one.

[hacksaw]

Weren’t coolies generally Chinese?

These were nice clothe ones with velcro enclosures that were made in the USA, I still have the one from that night. It wrapped perfectly around the rear shock of a sporty.
