Just so's ya know.......Freakshow!

Freakshow, our old departed '71 VW Baywindow Westphalia Camper, was in the care of the niece of one of the most powerful forces in the universe (Bear) when she decided to go the more modern route. Bear let me know and BAM! Freakshow comes back to the family to reverse a mistake made a few moons (and air-cooled VW's) ago.

Here she is today:

We're going to have fun bringing her back up to Tripendicular Hippy status for Bags and Ed to cruise in in style. These things are fun. Genuine simplicity where visceral motoring and righteous vibes blend in a symphony of whoopee! Getting waaaay pricey.

Got a thread going at the Air Coolers site, too:  http://www.aircoolers.org/v/showthread.php?33366-Freakshow

I've been up to my elbows in my boy Ed's "band of brothers", the Boy Scouts and this Bus. Want to get back to blogging when I get my head out of reality for a moment. Not hooked on the internet blogging thing, yet, so I let it lapse.

Shake it up....

Every once in a while, no matter who you are, no matter what your life is like, you need to unplug and channel your inner Viking. You know, that hairy beast with no pretense and a lust for action and fun. Unleash the beast.

For me, that's "Camp Boogie", a gathering of old bikers and new at Harley rallies or one of our homes over BBQ, bikes, booze, belches....and whatnot. Invariably, for these occasions, I'm the rolling "whatnot".

Like kids running to the icecream truck, I have my buds hanging out at the "Geezer Glide" which I ride right up to the stage (ya know, where the dancing is). Knocking back Patron with beer chasers is a good way to wipe the slate clean for all that life that happens between the "Camp Boogie" weekends. It's not always intense, but when it is.....them's some good memories made!

Kuhon started the whole deal with Queef and added Bear, Midnite, myself and a few others over time. It's getting to be a pretty big thing. If you like huge porkchop steaks served hot from the grill on the end of a knife blade passed around, you'll fit right in.

Here's a shot of Kuhon leaving the line on his 11-sec Sporty. He's a 3-time cancer survivor who'd been told to pack his bags, so seeing him hard at what he loves best brings us all together.

Little picture, but you get the idea.

Every once in a while, you have to get out and let it all hang out.
