East Texas Biker: December 2023

Take this Challenger a diff' direction

Picked up the new bike the other day ... waiting for a few parts to come in. Hopefully I'll be riding to AR to have them installed. Ordered a Viking Bag for it today. Opted for no tour pack ( Pursuit model ). This should give a look different from all the rest. On sale, so picked up TWO! Got one for Krush as well!

Vendor Rallies...

WTF? Ended up in a lil Tiff' on FB today .. what's new? LOL Saw a blurb about a rally in Silsbee. Where? I honestly have no idea... THe "8th annual" but .. I've never heard of it..ever.

"Vendor notices are being sent out for anyone interesting in being at the 8th Annual Silsbee Texas Rally April 26-27, 2024, so please private message me for full details and vendor information… FANTASTIC Sponsors, Bands, Events again for next year so don’t miss all the fun!"

So, I commented on the above .. "never heard of it". Then I've got to deal with a lil Karen .. SMH. Now the kicker is .. and why I'm even posting this... looking at her previous posts and FB Profile ... she's in marketing most likely, pushing these events. In my mind, puts her in the 'vendor' type category. Now.. does she even ride? Own a bike, Ride as a passenger? Do I care ... well.... not really, yet I'm posting it here ... dooooooooah. I put down maybe half the events I've been to ... apparently she wasn't impressed...

Had our lil' conversation, I ensured I didn't make it personal. She was pushing boundaries. Told her "by Ms Vendor/promoter' .. .. BLOCKED .. problem solved. Hopefully ..?? hahaha

Cool Creations

Some stuff .... is just to bad ass and cool .. not to share? Yes, I "made/created" these

"biker down"

CVMA lost another Brother yesterday. Not sure what exactly happened but it was unexpected and he left two younger children behind. The children's mom passed 18 months ago. Within an hour this also came across my newsfeed. Praying he had done some preparation along this route... Folks, we Ride. We sometimes push the envelope. Don't leave loved ones without the means to support themselves

stay warm

Hey ... it's Tejas. I rarely wear a jacket out n' about. Last night it was chilly so I reached into the closet and grabbed a heavy Indian Motorcycle jacket I rarely wear. Think n' Toasty all night at the winery with that on. When I reached for it... i caught glimpse of quite a few. The last decade my weight went way up and for many years, I couldn't wear them for the life of me. Indian ... Harley .. even a Triumph jacket. So today , I reach in there .. I've got 1/2 the hall closet occupied with them... kicker is .. forgot a lot of them were even there! Out in the building with the bikes I've got a 1/2 dozen jackets I wear while riding when it's chilly .. but... damned... didn't realize I had this many.

Back around 2000 or so, I picked up my first "motorcycle" jacket. It's the old school looking type with epaulets , belt, heavy leather. I think I spent a whole $99 for that jacket and still going strong today. Don't wear it much anemone since it feels a notch short. Since then I picked up a similar was in a tall size. But ... that started the trend. Guess I've got 150+ lbs of Leather in them jackets total?

Ready to don some Leather this year!
