I'm baaaaaack!

   O.K. so it's been 2 years since I wrote a blog, and man has a lot happened in 2 years!
    Well I'm back, and I'm going to try and stick with it. If you want a synopsis of what's been going on for the last 2 years you're going to have to buy me dinner and drinks, and then I will tell you all about it. I do not have time to type 2 years worth of shenanigans!

Friday 01/18/13

    Friday night we did Karaoke Night/Huh?'s Pre-Birthday Celebration!
Rocs, Pockets, Catchup, Huh?, Gadget, and RacerGirl went to Nijo Castle in Fremont for some fun. Part of the reason we choose Nijo Castle is because our favorite KJ Mr. KO Joe from Sick Minds Mc is the man in controll of the mic. We were also joined by E, more Sick Minds Mc, and some Bretheryn Mc. Now I'm not gonna lie, I can't sing on key for shit! So I don't torture people with my voice! If only other people were as kind, smh!  On the other hand the Vixens are blessed with some excellent singers, Huh? being one of them. Thanks to KO Joe (who knows about her singing abilities) we got to hear her sing twice! Gadget, who tried to play shy also gave us a peek at her voice, don't hide girl let it out!
  After Ninjo closed for the night Pockets, Catchup, Huh?, and E headed over to TL Beer Garden in Sunnyvale to visit our favorite Bartender Amy. TL Beer Garden used to be Shooters, it has been updated with more seating, an new menu, more t.v.'s, and hooka's! After yummy Baily's shakes (made by Amy) and few other drinks, chatting with Matthew, and laughing at the guy passed out in a chair we called it a night and drove Huh's drunk ass home!  What? She's entitled, it was her pre-birthday celebration ;-)

Saturday 01/19/13

     Saturday was a pretty nice day. Some of the girls were in and out of the CH (that's clubhouse for those not in the know ;-) which should be called the "Chill House" because it is fricken freezing in there! Hopefully we will have heat by this Friday!

   Rocs, Pockets, LuckeeFkr, RacerGirl, and our Friend Andrea headed over to the Mestizos for the New Years Knock Out. They hosted live fights at their clubhouse. Some of the Mestizos fought too!  There was a full size ring in the middle of the CH and chairs on all sides for our viewing pleasure. We made our way inside, said "hello" to many friends, got some nachos, hit up the bar, and made our way to some premium seats.
   The 1st fight was a chick fight, very cool! The rest were men fighting MMA style. All very good fights, a few bumps and bruises, and 1 knockout.
The Mestizos even had "Hospitality Girls" running around to get us drinks, so we didn't have to miss a thing or loose our seat! Good call guys :-)
   After the fights were over one of our favorite Mestizos escorted us to a side room that had this sign outside the door "ADULTS" , hmmm I wonder what's in there? I have pictures, so if you wanna know just ask to see them ;-).
   We hung out for a while in the "Adult" room and chatted with friends. Our friend Lola tried to find us but she must have forgot that if there is adult entertainment then most likely the Vixens are near by.
   After saying our goodbye's our first stop was at the nearest gas station. Rocs should have went to the restroom before we left, because she went into the restroom at the shell station (which is normally a nice one) only to bump into a male Sheriff (acab) coming out of the women's restroom. Not only was he in the wrong restroom he had "blew it up" and peed on the seat! Gah-Ross!!!
  After taking a poll it was found that everyone was ready for "fourth meal" so we stopped in Tracy at Nations. Now some of us had never been to a Nations before, and wow did they have a lot of choices. Burgers, breakfast, pies oh my! We ate our food with the rest of the late night crazies and headed home.
  IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT, AT A GREAT EVENT, WITH GREAT PEOPLE!

La Vida Vixen

FRI-SUN 01/21/11 - 01/23/11


Friday~
We celebrated Huh?'s Birthday!
All of the Vixens, Wilson, Glenn, Bill, and Cheryl met up at Bowlmor Lanes in Cupertino. Now this place used to be called Strike, but I guess they are under a new management company or something. Well as far as the food is concerned they should have left the Strike menu. The food was just o.k., the portions were smaller, and the price was higher. Glen & Bill ordered popcorn shrimp, and it was literally popcorn with a few shrimp sprinkled in ~wtf?

On the bright side bowling was a lot of fun! You could tell it had been a long time since most of us had done any bowling. The funniest thing was that One Time had to meet us a bit late so we took turns bowling her turn until she got there, and she beat everyone on our lane, lol. Next stop Shooters Bar&Grill in Sunnyvale to have a cocktail and meet up with the Street Assassinz MC. Shooters was cool as always, but we didn't stay long. Next stop, where else but the Brass Rail? I was only 1/2 way in the door when one of our favorite girls yelled at me to give her a Vixen Tattoo so she could show her support while entertaining the gentlemen there.
It's never a dull moment at the rail. We saw some people we know, got Huh? her birthday lap dance, and messed with our favorite DJ. After the Rail we hopped across the bridge to Denny's for some late night/ early morning grub. The ride home was cold, but not too long. I hope Huh enjoyed her night :-)

Saturday~

Saturday was what I like to call a "marathon" day/night.
Even though it was going to be a marathon day it didn't start out too early. we didn't have to be at our first stop until 1:00pm.

Stop #1 Rocs, Doubleshot, One Time, Lorraine, and myself (Pockets) headed out to The Florence in Niles for the Oakland Stroke MC Party. First of all let me tell you that the weather was fricken beautiful!!! When we arrived at The Flo there was a good amount of bikes parked outside. When went in and immediately found our girl Momma from the She Devils MC. She had already set aside a table for us :-) We said hi to everyone and thanked Jamie for the invite. The band fired up and was really good. Lunch was served almos immediately after we got there. There was very good bbq chicken, pasta, salad, and garlic bread. Each plate came with 1/2 a fricken chicken!!! The President of the Oakland Stroke had warned us that it was a lot of food, and he had suggested we share, so that's what we did and we still had food left over, lol. When it was time to leave we were getting ready to take off and Fremont PD rolls by at a snails pace. They were looking for non-dot helmets hanging on bikes, i guess so they could pull people over as they left. They actually stopped in front of bikes and pointed, nothing better to f'in do, seriously.

Stop #2 Hells Angels Nomads Crab feed in Stockton. So our same group continued on to Stockton. We had no trouble finding the Fairgrounds where the crab feed was being held, but we did have a little trouble figuring out where in the fairgrounds it was. The funny thing is that we had some others following us around the parking lot, I guess we "looked" like we knew where we were going, lol. Finally some people who really did know where they were going came in and we all follwed them to the right area. This event was a lot of fun! First we made our way around the huge hall and said hi to a lot of friends. Some we had just seen in fremont, others we hadn't seen for months. I would give them all a shout out here, but if I were to forget to mention someone I would feel like an asshole. You all know who you are ;-) Again Momma and the She Devils hooked us up with spots at their reserved table. They also had all of the accessories needed for a good crab feed. The foccacia was off the hook! There was wine on the tables and we were served salad, bread, pasta, and then the crab. Yum I have never eaten so much crab in my life! Feeling like a roly-poly it was time to get back on the road and return to San Jose.
We were worried early on in the day that the ride home from stockton would be foggy and cold. It wasn't :-), it was actually quite pleasant. A little cold at first, but by the time we got to the top of the Altamont it had warmed up significantly.
Nothing like the ride home from sac 2 weeks ago.

Stop #3 Top Hatters MC South Valley. Before we headed to the Top Hatters we dropped off Lorraine and Picked up Catchup. We then headed over to their clubhouse for a casual get together of some of the local clubs. They make a mean Jaegar Bomb! We had fun as always listening to some tunes and bullshitting with the guys. We didn't stay long because we still had 1 more stop to make...

Stop #4 Ghost Mountain Riders MC San Jose. When we headed off to the Ghosties clubhouse Rocs went home and the rest of us soldier'd on! The Ghosties had a Birthday Party going on. So we chilled at the party for awhile, had a cocktail and a cupcake. The cupcakes were very good :-)
We arrived at the Ghosties at 11:58pm. So we made it to 4 events in 1 day. Yep I would definitely call that a Marathon!

Sunday~

Sunday was another beautiful day so Catchup, Trish, Motorcycle Boy, and Me decided to take a little ride. I say little because by the time I got out of bed (12:30) and got dressed (2pm) it was kinda late to go to far on a work night. We did one of my favorite local rides and headed down Almaden Expressway, past Calero, and stopped at Uvas to enjoy the afternoon sun and people watch. After our pit stop we continued to Watsonville road, then into Morgan Hill for a late lunch. After Lunch we headed back home via Monterey Rd. Like I said it was a short ride, but it felt good to be on the bike just to ride.

EASY RIDER SHOW SACRAMENTO 1/15-16 2011

O.K. I'M BACK, AGAIN :-)

SO SATURDAY MORNING I GOT UP AT 7am AND CALLED CATCHUP TO TALK HER INTO COMING WITH US. SHE HADN'T PLANNED ON GOING, BUT WITH MY GREAT DEBATE SKILLS I TALKED HER INTO IT.
ABOUT 10:30 AM CATCHUP, ONE TIME, TRISH, AND ME (POCKETS) LEFT SAN JOSE FOR SACRAMENTO. WE HAD JUST MET TRISH THE WEEK BEFORE AND SHE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO GO ON AN OVERNIGHT WITH US HER FIRST TIME HANGING OUT.
THE RIDE STARTED OUT GREAT, THEN WE HIT THE WALL OF FOG! IT WAS NASTY, COLD, AND WET. EXCEPT FOR A BRIEF 3 MILE BREAK IT WAS FOGGY THE WHOLE WAY THERE. THANK GOODNESS WE MADE IT TO SAC WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I COULDN'T SEE MY HAND IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
WE DID ENCOUNTER A GROUP OF DUMBASSES FROM HOG THAT FOR SOME REASON THOUGHT THEY NEEDED TO CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC AND GET IN FRONT OF US. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE WE ARE WOMEN, OR BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID. WAIT, EITHER WAY THEY WERE STUPID. THEY WEREN'T IN FRONT OF US FOR LONG!
SO WE ARRIVE AT OR MOTEL, AND CHECK IN. WE GET TO OUR ROOM AND I HEAR SOME NOISY PEOPLE DOWN THE HALL :-) . HMMM I THINK I KNOW WHO THAT IS. WE DUMP OUR STUFF IN THE ROOM AND I INVESTIGATE. YEAH!!! IT IS OUR FRIENDS FROM THE SALINAS VALLEY, SOME OF THE ROADSAINTS MC AND THEIR LOVELY LADIES. MY NOSEYNESS IS REWARDED WITH A GREAT DRINK BY THE AWESOME BARTENDER LULU!
WE GET CLEANED UP, AND HEAD OVER TO THE SHOW, WHICH IS ONLY 2 1/2 BLOCKS FROM THE MOTEL :-). WE DON'T EVEN GET INSIDE THE SHOW BEFORE WE SEE PEOPLE WE KNOW. THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE INSIDE BUT WE STILL MANAGED TO SEE SAN JOSE R&W, SHE DEVILS MC, SISTERS OF SCOTA WMC, BOOZEFIGHTERS MC, TOP HATTERS MC, MESTIZOS MC, ROSIE & SEAN FROM OFF DA CHAIN, AND MORE.
ORIGINALLY WE INTENDED TO SEE CHARLIE HUNNAM (JAX ON S.O.A.) BUT THE LINE WAS RIDICULOUS AND THEY WERE CHARGING FOR PICTURES. WE DID HAPPEN TO BE STANDING RIGHT IN THE PATH HE TOOK TO GO FOR A BREAK AND I HANDED HIM A VIXEN SUPPORT STICKER. HE TOOK IT AND SAID "THANK YOU"
AFTER HOURS AT THE SHOW WE HEADED BACK TO THE ROOM. OUR MOTEL NEIGHBORS INVITED US TO GO TO OLD SAC WITH THEM TO DINNER. WE PILED INTO 4 CABS, AFTER ONE CABDRIVER TRIED TO CHARGE DOUBLE THE OTHERS, AND ARRIVED THE 12 BLOCKS IN NO TIME!
WE HAD DINNER IN A MEXICAN RESTARAUNT THAT IS UP STAIRS, I HATE STAIRS! THEY HAVE A COOL CHANDELIER MADE OF BEER BOTTLES! AT DINNER I HAD THE NEVER ENDING MARGARITA! IT WAS HUGE, AND IT WAS $25, LOL. THANK GOODNESS FOR FRIENDS HELPING ME OR I MIGHT STILL BE THERE DRINKING IT RIGHT NOW.
AFTER DINNER WE ALL WENT TO A BAR DOWN THE STREET. THE BAR HAD KARAOKE AND THERE WERE SOME GREAT SINGERS IN OUR GROUP! SEVERAL SONGS AND JAEGAR BOMBS LATER IT WAS TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE MOTEL.
BACK AT THE MOTEL SOMEONE SUGGESTED SWIMMING, FROM IT ESCALATED TO SWIMMING NAKED! 2 OF OUR ROWDY CROWD DECIDED TO TAKE THE DARE. DON'T ASK, AND I WON'T TELL WHICH 2 :-)
I DO HAVE PHOTOS TO BACK MY STORY UP THOUGH, AND I CAN BE BOUGHT (MAYBE)
AFTER WE ALMOST ALL GOT KICKED OUT OF THE MOTEL WE SCATTERED BACK TO OUR ROOMS FOR THE NIGHT.
WE TOOK OUR TIME GETTING UP IN THE MORNING. ENJOYED THE FREE MOTEL BREAKFAST, THEN HEADED HOME.
AGAIN IT WAS COLD AN FOGGY! BUT AS WE DECENDED INTO LIVERMORE THE CLOUDS PARTED AND THE SUN GREETED US!
IT WAS A GREAT TIME, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS PART OF IT!!!

SUNDAY 07/11/2010

IT'S SUNDAY AND ONCE AGAIN TIME FOR OUR MBCOC MEETING. ROCS AND I HEAD OUT TO (SURPRISE, LOL) MARINA FOR THIS MONTH'S MEETING. IT'S A PRETTY NICE DAY OUT AND THE RIDE GOES BY FAST. THE MEETING IS FAST AND OF COURSE I WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE.
WHAT? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I WON, A BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS OF COURSE, WHAT ELSE :-)
AFTER I SECURE JACK IN MY SADDLE BAG WE HEAD BACK TO SAN JOSE TO MEET CATCHUP AND GOGO AT THE 408 CUSTOMZ GRAND OPERNING.

IF YOU NEED SERVICE, MUSIC, OR CUSTOM WORK DONE ON YOUR BIKE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 408 CUSTOMZ ;-)

THERE WAS A GOOD SIZE CROWD AT THE GRAND OPENING. THEY HAD FOOD, DRINKS, JELLO SHOTS (YES), MUSIC, AND RAFFLE PRIZES. IT WAS LIKE A BIKE SHOW LOOKING AT ALL OF THE CUSTOMERS BIKES. THERE WAS EVEN A SPRINGER JUST LIKE MINE!!!

AFTER EATING AND MINGLING AT THE 408 PARTY WE STILL HAD ONE MORE DESTINATION TO RIDE TOO. ROCS, GOGO, AND I JUMP O 680 AND HEAD FOR THE ALAMEDA COUNTY FAIR. NOW IN SAN JOSE IT WAS A COMFORTABLE 77 DEGREES, BUT DAMN THE MINUTE WE STARTED DECENDING THE HILL INTO PLEASANTON I SWEAR THE TEMP JUMPED UP ABOUT 20 DEGREES! LUCKILY THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE BIKE PARKING RIGHT UP FRONT.
THE PARKING ATTENDANT WAVES US INTO A PRIME SPOT. ONLY AFTER WE HAVE PARKED AND ARE GETTING READY TO GO IN, HE REIMNDS US TO LOCK OUR BIKES, BECAUSE "A HARLEY WAS STOLEN LAST NIGHT". NOW WE'RE THINKING WTF, AND YOU'RE JUST TELLING US THIS NOW? HE REASSURES US THAT IS WHY HE IS THERE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM. THAT'S COOL AND ALL, BUT I AM MORE COMFORTED BY THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE RED & WHITE PROSPECTS KEEPING AN EYE ON THINGS.
SO WE GO IN THE FAIRGROUNDS AND GET IN THE ALREADY LONG LINE TO SEE THE WAR CONCERT. THE CONCERT WAS GOOD, BUT IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. I THINK I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I HAD THIS HUMONGOUSE FUNNEL CAKE THAT WAS GETTING ALL OVER, BUT MMM MMM GOOD!
ALSO THANKS TO THE MOST ENVIED MC. WE LET THEM GET IN LINE WITH US, AND THEY BOUGHT US A COUPLE OF BEERS AT THE SHOW :-)
AFTER THE CONCERT WE HAD A NICE RIDE HOME. IT WAS A LONG DAY, BUT ONCE AGAIN IT WAS A GOOD DAY!

FRIDAY 07/09/10

HI YA'LL
ON FRIDAY JULY 9th I RODE WITH AN EVIL C%NT WHO'S TRUE COLORS CAME OUT NOT TO LONG AFTER THIS DAY. I CAN HAPPILY SAY THAT THE TRASH HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT AND I'M JUST GLAD TO LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT THAT POLLUTION.

THAT IS THE LAST YOU WILL HEAR OF THAT.

SO FRIDAY I RODE TO SHOOTERS IN SUNNYVALE FOR A SAD OCCASION. A FAMILY MEMBER OF ONE OF THE STREET ASSASSINZ M/C WENT DOWN UP BY ALICE'S, AND HE DIDN'T MAKE IT. R.I.P. BROTHER :-(
THEY HAD A BIKE NIGHT/FUNDRAISER FOR HIS FAMILY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NICE NIGHT FOR A RIDE UNDER BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES. IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD TURNOUT, THERE WERE TOP HATTERS, HOOLIGANS, TORTURED SOULS, EXTREME VIXENS, SBF, AND MORE.......

ONE OF THE SHOOTERS REGULARS (GIRL I'M SORRY I FORGOT YOUR NAME) BOUGHT PIZZA FOR THE WHOLE BAR. THANK YOU :-)

AFTER MINGLING, EATING, DRINKING, AND FUNDRAISING I DECIDED TO GO CHEER UP AND HEADED DOWN THE STREET TO .............

DUH, THE BRASS RAIL :-)
THAT TOO WAS A GOOD TIME AS ALWAYS. GOT A TABLE NEXT TO THE DJ BOOTH, ALL THE GIRLS AND GUYS STOPPED BY THE TABLE TO SAY HI, AND I GOT WAS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM THAT ANGLE, LOL

RAIL SECURITY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO PLAY A JOKE ON ME.
SO ONE OF THE GUYS COMES UP TO THE TABLE AND
TELLS ME: "SOME GUY IS SITTING ON YOUR BIKE."
I LAUGH AND TELL HIM "NO WAY"
HE SAYS (VERY SERIOUSLY) "O.K. FINE, BUT I'M TELLING YOU SOME GUY IS SITTING ON YOUR BIKE!"
SO I SAY "WTF" AND I RUN (YES I SAID I RAN) OUTSIDE TO KNOCK A MOTHER F'ER OFF OF MY BIKE.
WHEN I GET OUTSIDE THERE IS ONE OF THE OTHER SECURITY GUYS LEANING ON MY BIKE WITH A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE.
HE TELLS ME "WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING FOR?" AND STARTS TO GIGGLE
"VERY FUNNY" I SAY
"I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN, AND IF YOU EVER DO SEE SOMEONE ATTEMPT TO SIT ON MY BIKE, THEN YOU BETTER KNOCK THEM OUT"
I GO BACK IN AND GIVE THE OTHER GUY SHIT FOR PLAYING THE JOKE ON ME. HE GETS ALL CONCERNED AND SAYS "WHAT, THEY MADE ME DO IT"
I TELL HIM "I'M NOT PISSED OFF ABOUT THE JOKE, I'M PISSED OFF BECAUSE YOU MADE ME RUN"
LOL
A LITTLE WHILE LATER I HAVE A NICE (BUT SHORT) RIDE HOME.

INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND!

SATURDAY JULY 3rd ---
AGAIN THE WEATHER GODS WERE SMILING ON US! ROCS, CATCHUP, DOUBLESHOT, AND I WERE UP EARLY AND READY TO RIDE. EVEN THOUGH I HAD A LONG DAY OF JELLO SHOT MAKING THE DAY BEFORE ;-)

THE SOUTH VALLEY TOP HATTERS M/C INVITED US TO RIDE WITH THEM TO WISKEY CREEK SALOON WHERE THE SIGN UPS WERE BEING HELD FOR THE ANNUAL HOLLISTER TOP HATTERS M/C INDEPENDENCE DAY POKER RUN.
WE DID THE SHORT PUTT OVER TO THE SVTH CLUBHOUSE AND HAD A DOUGHNUT WHILE EVERYONE ARRIVED. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD SIZED PACK INCLUDING S.V. TOP HATTERS, RED NATION, US (VALLEY VIXENS), AND SEVERAL INDEPENDANT RIDERS. NOW THAT EVERYONE WAS THERE WE SADDLED UP TO HIT THE ROAD. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THE MEN'S CLUBS ALWAYS TAKE OFF LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL!!!
ONCE I CAUGHT UP ON THE FREEWAY (AFTER DOING 95 MPH TO CATCH UP) IT WAS A NICE SMOOTH PACK RIDE. WE DID ENCOUNTER A LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE 101 NEAR MORGAN HILL, BUT IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT A LITTLE (30-40 BIKES) LANE SPLITTING COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF :-)

WE ARRIVE AT WHISKEY CREEK AND SEE A LOT OF FRIENDS, AND SAY A LOT OF "HELLOS"
I THINK IT IS HERE AT WHISKEY CREEK THAT ROCS IS CHATTING IT UP WITH MEAGAN AND INVITES HER TO RIDE WITH US. AFTER A BEVERAGE AND SOME MINGLING WE GET READY TO GO TO THE 1ST STOP ON THE POKER RUN.
WE GO OUT TO THE 9th HOLE BAR IN TRES PINOS. THIS IS WHERE I GET TO ACTUALLY MEET MEAGAN AND TALK TO HER. SHE IS VERY COOL AND FITS RIGHT IN, LOL. IN OTHER WORDS SHE IS CRAZY LIKE THE REST OF US.
IN THE USUAL VIXEN STYLE WE DECIDE TO SKIP THE NEXT STOP AND HEAD STRAIGHT TO CORBIN WHERE THE POKER RUN IS ENDING. PULLING INTO CORBIN WE SEE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. I'M NOT SURPRISED SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY THING GOING ON FOR THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND IN HOLLISTER. CATCHUP, MEAGAN, AND I GO INTO THE CAFE TO GET A TABLE WHILE THE OTHERS GET IN LINE FOR THEIR STEAK SANDWICH.
WHILE IN THE CAFE MEAGAN GETS ANTSY AND OFFERS TO GO FIND THE FINAL CARD DRAW AREA FOR THE POKER RUN. NOW I KNOW I AM CONSIDERED LUCKY BY A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A GOOD POKER RUN HAND. ALL DAY I HAVE BEEN PALYING 2 POKER HANDS, 1 FOR ME AND THE OTHER FOR MY FRIEND GLENN. SO FAR I HAVE A KING AND A TWO, GLENN HAS A JACK AND AN EIGHT. WELL MEAGAN COMES BACK WITH BOTH OF OUR CARDS FULL AND I STILL HAVE NOTHING, BUT GLENN HAS A FULL HOUSE (JACKS & EIGHTS)!!! UNFORTUNATELY IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO WIN THE RUN, SOMEONE HAD A BETTER FULL HOUSE :-(
AFTER FOOD WE MAKE OUR WAY BACK TO THE AREA WITH THE BAND AND THE DOOR PRIZES, NOW THIS IS WHERE MY LUCK KICKS IN :-)
ON THE WAY TO THE BACK WE PASS SONNY BARGER WHO IS THERE DOING A BOOK SIGNING. WE SAY HI, AND HE SAYS HE TOTALLY REMEMBERS US FROM LAST WEEK :-)
WE GRAB A TABLE IN THE BACK, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND CHAT WITH MORE FRIENDS. IT'S DOOR PRIZE TIME, AND I WALK AWAY WITH 5, YES 5 PRIZES!!! A MASSAGE, A POUND OF SEES CHOCOLATE, TICKETS TO A CONCERT, RIDING GLASSES, AND A SIGNED (BY THE TOP HATTERS M/C) AND FRAMED RUN POSTER FROM THE DAYS EVENT! I TOLD YOU THIS IS WHERE I'M LUCKY.
TIME TO GO BACK TO SAN JOSE, IT'S HOT, WE HAVE A BIG DAY TOMORROW AND I CAN'T FIT ANY MORE STUFF ON MY BIKE! IT WAS A GREAT DAY!

SUNDAY JULY 4th---
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALLEY VIXENS M/C!!!!!!!!!!!
TODAY IS OUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, SO WE HAD AN ANNIVERSARY BBQ AT CASA ROCKETS. THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO CAME OUT. THERE WAS JUS BROTHERS, ROAD SAINTS, BAS, BRASS RAIL STAFF, AND MORE. WE HAD A TON OF FOOD, GALLONS OF LIQUOR, AND ABOUT 150 JELLO SHOTS :-)
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE OUT THE DETAILS (BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER 1/2 OF THEM) BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL WHO ATTENDED. SOME PEOPLE LEFT AT 4am!

I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T STUCK DOING THE DISHES THE NEXT DAY :-)

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARATHON ~ SATURDAY 06/26/10

TODAY WAS A MARATHON DAY, AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO CALL IT!I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO ONE OF THESE FOR A LONG TIME. THE SET UP WAS THERE WERE 3 DIFFERENT EVENTS GOING ON IN ONE DAY AND I WANTED TO ATTEND THEM ALL. LUCKY FOR ME ROCS WAS WILLING TO GO ALONG ON THE MARATHON WITH ME. WE ALSO HAD SAMI FROM THE SISTERS OF SCOTA RIDING WITH US!

SAMI SHOWED UP BRIGHT AND EARLY FOR OUR ADVENTURE. THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL NOT TOO COLD, NOT TOO HOT. WE HIT THE 101 FOR THE SHORT PUTT TO OUR 1ST STOP, E.P.A. THE DALY CITY RED & WHITE'S CLUBHOUSE. IT WAS THEIR 12th (I THINK) ANNUAL POKER RUN.
OUR PLAN WAS TO SIGN UP FOR THE POKER RUN, MAKE UP OUR OWN ROUTE TO THE STOPS, AND AT SOME POINT GO ACROSS THE BAY TO OAKLAND AND THE 2ND EVENT. WELL THAT CHANGED A BIT WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS A PACK RUN. I THINK THAT I'M A PRETTY GOOD RIDER, BUT I WILL ALSO ADMIT SOMETIMES IT'S KINDA HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE BIG BOYS ;-)
SO WE SIGNED UP AND GOT OUR POKER ENVELOPES, WE DECIDED TO PICK ALL 5 CARDS RIGHT THEN AND THERE, AND THE GUY TOLD US "GO AHEAD AND PUNCH THEM YOURSELVES" A LOT OF GOOD THAT DID, I STILL GOT A CRAPPY HAND. AFTER SIGNING UP, HAVE A BEVERAGE, A DOUGHNUT, AND GREETING FRIENDS FROM THE DEVIL DOLLS, SAN MATEO HENCHMEN, SHE DEVILS, TOP HATTERS, AND MORE WE GOT READY TO MAKE OUR ESCAPE TO THE NEXT EVENT.
I TOLD BIG MOMMA (THE SHE DEVILS PREZ) "SEE YOU BACK HERE FOR LUNCH" AND SHE REPLIED "YES, BUT WE'RE TAKING YOUR IDEA AND GOING TO OAKLAND TOO". I LAUGHED AND SAID "SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN, LET'S GO!"
SO OUR GROUP DECIDED TO LAG BEHIND AND SPLIT OFF FROM THE PACK AND GO TO THE MISCREANTS MC CLUBHOUSE AND MEET SONNY BARGER AT HIS BOOK SIGNING. RIGHT AS THE PACK WAS LEAVING I GOT AN EMERGENCY CALL ON MY WORK PAGER (PERFECT TIMING) AND BY THE TIME I ANSWERED THE CALL AND TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM, EVERYONE ELSE HAD LEFT.
ROCS, BIG MOMMA, CRISPY, SAMI, AND I HEADED FOR THE DUMBARTON BRIDGE. WE MADE IT TO OAKLAND IN NO TIME AND THE WEATHER CONTINUED TO COOPERATE. THIS WOULD BE APPRECIATED LATER WHEN WE FIND OUT THAT THE PACK RUN HAD WENT TO PACIFICA WHERE EVERYONE FROZE THEIR ASSES OFF :-). WE ARRIVED AT THE MISCREANTS CLUB HOUSE JUST IN TIME, THE LINE WAS STILL SHORT. THAT'S ONE THING ABOUT THE BIKER WORLD, EVEN WAITING IN LINE IS NOT BORING. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE TO TALK TO OR HEAR A GOOD STORY FROM. WHILE WE WERE WAITING IN LINE WE NOTICED SOMEONE ADMIRING SAMI'S BIKE. THEY WERE IN FACT ADMIRING IT SO MUCH THEY SAT ON IT! NORMALLY WE WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING, BUT THIS PERSON SEEMED LIKE A NICE FELLOW FROM THE OAKLAND 81 SO WE LET IT GO.
NOW WE ARE INSIDE AND MEETING MR. SONNY BARGER HIMSELF. I THINK HE IS HOLDING UP WELL CONSIDERING HIS AGE AND HIS ADVENTUROUS LIFE. HE SEEMS LIKE A REAL SWEETHEART, AND I THINK THAT OUT OF OUR GROUP HE LIKED ME BEST, HE TOTALLY PUT HIS HEAD ON MY SHOULDER FOR OUR PICTURE TOGETHER. AFTER MEETING SONNY AND GETTING 2 BOOKS SIGNED TO ME WE HUNG OUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AT THE MISCREANTS CLUBHOUSE. THEY HAD MUSIC, FOOD, AND VENDORS IN THE BACK. WE WERE GETTING HUNGRY SO WE DECIDED TO HEAD TO BACK TO E.P.A. FOR THE DELICIOUS LUNCH WE KNEW WOULD BE WAITING FOR US.
A QUICK TRIP DOWN THE 880 AND OVER THE DUMBARTON BRIDGE AND WE ARE BACK AT THE DALY CITY RED&WHITE'S CLUBHOUSE. WE ARRIVED BEFORE THE PACK'S RETURN SO WE GET A DRINK AND HAVE A SEAT TO WATCH SOME WORLD CUP SOCCER ON THE FLAT SCREEN T.V. IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AN EVENT (POKER RUN, FIGHT NIGHT) HERE, THEN YOU ARE MISSING THE BEST FOOD EVER. I COULD SMELL ALL OF THE AWESOMENESS COMING FROM THE KITCHEN. THEN MY FRIEND THE COOK (HELL YEAH I MADE FRIENDS WITH THE COOK) ASKS ME IF I'M HUNGRY, AND SAYS TO COME IN THE KITCHEN SO HE CAN MAKE ME A SANDWICH WHILE WE WAIT FOR LUNCH. HE GETS OUT THIS HUGE ROLL AND FILLS IT WITH TENDER BEEF BRISKET. HE THEN ASKS ME IF I WANT HOT OR MILD SAUCE. I TELL HIM MILD, AND HE SAYS "BEFORE YOU DECIDE TASTE THEM BOTH". SO I PROCEED TO STICK MY FINGER IN THIS GIANT POT OF SAUCE, THAT IS STILL ON THE STOVE, AND TASTE IT. THEN I STICK MY FINGER IN THE OTHER POT AND TASTE IT. I STICK WITH MY ORIGINAL CHOICE OF MILD SAUCE, BUT I JUST WANTED EVERYONE OUT THERE TO KNOW THAT IF YOU HAD EITHER OF THE SAUCES THAT DAY, MY FINGER WAS IN IT FIRST ;-)
SO NOW I HAVE DEVOURED THIS SANDWICH AND THEY TELL US THAT LUNCH IS READY. I GOT TO THE BUFFET AREA AND FILL MY PLATE WITH 3 DIFFERENT KINDS OF RIBS AND SOME EGGPLANT PARMESAN. YES I AM A CARNIVORE!!! SO NOW THAT WE ARE GOOD AND COMATOSE IT'S JUST ABOUT RAFFLE/DOOR PRIZE TIME. THEY HAD A LOT OF PRIZES AND A LOT OF PEOPLPE HAD LEFT SO IT TOOK A WHILE. I THINK THIS IS THE 1ST EVENT I'VE BEEN TO THAT I DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAME HOME EMPTY HANDED. ANDREA, DEVIL DOLLS PROSPECT GAVE ME A TICKET SHE WON FOR THE SHE DEVILS MC CAJUN DINNER! AND THE CLUB CAME OUT A WINNER TOO. SAMI WON THE FINAL PRIZE OF A RUN POSTER SIGNED BY ALL OF THE DALY CITY R&W. SHE TOLD US "IF YOU CAN GET IT HOME IN 1 PIECE ITS YOURS". WELL WE CAN GET ANYTHING HOME WITH BUNGEES!
WE LEFT E.P.A. AND MADE A QUICK STOP AT THE BRASS RAIL TO SAY HI TO OUR FRINEDS AND HAVE A REFRESHMENT. AFTER A HOUR AT THE RAIL WE WENT HOME TO UNLOAD THE BIKES AND GEAR UP FOR THE THIRD EVENT OF THE DAY.
TEETH WASHED, DEODORANT RE-APPLIED WE'RE READY TO GO OVER THE HILL TO SANTA CRUZ. THE SANTA CRUZ RED & WHITE WERE HAVING RED & WHITE NIGHT AT THE BRITANNIA ARMS IN APTOS. WE WANTED TO HEAD OVER THE HILL DURING THE DAYLIGHT SO WE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE SANTA CRUZ WARF. WE FOUND A COOL LITTLE BAR ON THE WARF IN ONE OF THE RESTARAUNTS, OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN, SEAGULLS, AND SAILBOATS.
WE HAD A SNACK, A DRINK, AND LEFT A VIXEN STICKER ON THE WALL FOR THEM TO REMEMBER US BY :-) THERE WAS AN 86 YEAR OLD MAN IN THE BAR, WHO HAD A PICTURE OF HIM WITH A SURFBOARD (WHEN HE WAS IN HIS 20'S) ON THE WALL. HE WAS TELLING COOL STORIES, CATCHUP WOULD HAVE LOVED HIM.
WE LEAVE THE WARF, FINALLY AFTER SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR PARKING TICKET, AND HEAD OVER TO THE BRITANNIA ARMS. THE APTOS BRIT IS AN INTERESTING BUILDING. IT'S LIKE 3 LEVELS. WE SAID OUR HELLOS TO S.C. 81 AND OUR FRIENDS FROM THE LOMPICO GHOST MOUNTAIN RIDERS MC. WE FOUND A TABLE AT THE BAR TO SIT FOR A BIT AND HAVE A BEVERAGE. I HAVE TO ADMIT I AM GETTING TIRED AT THIS POINT. IT WAS AROUND 10:00pm WHEN WE GOT THERE AND WE HAD BEEN OUT & ABOUT SINCE 9:00am. IT WAS A NICE LOW KEY EVENT THEY HAD A LIVE BAND PLAYING AND SOMEONE GAVE US A CD DOOR PRIZE. AFTER A HOUR OR SO WE DECIDED TO CALL IT A NIGHT.
SINCE SAMI WAS WITH US WE HAD PLANNED TO RIDE THROUGH WATSONVILLE AND TAKE THE 129 TO THE 101 SO SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO RIDE ALONE VERY FAR. SHE LIVES IN SAN JUAN BAUTISTA. THE WEATHER HAD BEEN BEAUTIFUL ALL DAY, AND AS WE PULLED OUT OF THE BRIT IT WAS STILL NICE, FOR A MINUTE. AS SOON AS WE HIT WATSONVILLE WE HIT FOG AS THICK AS PEA SOUP. I COULDN'T SEE A THING AND MY PANTS WERE GETTING ALL WET FROM THE MIST. FOR A MINUTE I LOST SAMI IN THE DENSE FOG, BUT WE WERE ALL BACK TOGETHER SHORTLY. WE MADE IT THROUGH THE FRICKEN HORROR MOVIE FOG AND HIT THE 101. SAMI WENT HER WAY AND ROCS AND I FLEW DOWN THE FREEWAY TO HOME. WE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE SAFE AND SOUND ABOUT 1:00am. NO LONGER WET FROM THE FOG BECAUSE THE WARM SANTA CLARA VALLEY AIR HAD US DRY BY THE TIME WE HIT MORGAN HILL.
I HIT THE SACK WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT VIXEN DAY!!!
