As the cold Winter Weather starts rolling in we Bikers are still looking for fun things to do to fill up our Weekends,We just start looking for stuff that\’s indoors,After spending all those Months Riding its always hard when we have to leave our Bikes at home. But Hey what are the options? (Move down South? Not Me!I\’m a New Yorker)

It was a quite day in a small Bar in upstate New York . The girl working behind the bar was young, she had just turned 18 and had only been bar tending a few weeks, this was her first time working alone. Everything was going fine with only two of the regulars in the back shooting pool it was nothing she could not handle she thought to herself.

I want to talk a little about the Brotherhood mentality versus the gang mentality in the Motorcycle Club world . Now for those of you who may be asking what is the difference? I will set up a scene to help give you an idea! At a small Bar a member of a Motorcycle Club walks in he sees four Bikers playing pool, He can tell they are a bit nervous, They see his patches and they know who he is with. Now how does he act? Does he walk over to the pool table knock the 8 ball in the pocket say games over and tell one of them to buy him a beer? Or does he walk over introduce himself and let them know when they are done shooting pool they are welcome to stop over at the bar have a beer and talk with him! One is the gang way of thinking the other is the Brotherhood way of thinking! I really don\’t think I need to tell you which is which!

Every February I attend the Annual AMA Biker\’s Blood Drive and Party at Harley Davidson of NYC in Long Island City. The Biker\’s Blood Drive grows a little bigger every year.

If you are a serious motorcycle enthusiast, you probably spend hours a week riding, fine tuning, and thinking about your bike. But was about your bike accessories? A high quality motorcycle deserves a high quality motorcycle helmet.

Every year In a Little Town in New York called Ridge, On a Big Sandbar known as Long Island, Hundreds of Bikers who have only Antique Motorcycles on their minds. Gather to attend The Big Sandbar Chapter of The Antique Motorcycle Club of America,Inc\’s annual \”Winter Blues Swap meet\” at the Ridge Firehouse. As I entered I was greeted by two lovely Lady\’s. I told them who I was and they where happy to tell me about the Big Sandbar Chapter of the AMCA. I was told how the AMCA considers any Motorcycle 35 years or older an Antique.

THE MAPLES IN MANORVILLE

I\’ve heard it said that the first real Snow fall of the Holiday season is supposed to be magical.I\’ve also heard it said that it means Santa is taking the slay out for the test run! Sunday December 2nd was the first real Snow fall of the 2007 Holiday Season on Long Island. Now I\’m not saying I always believe Everything I hear, but it was a Magical Day and I did see Santa.

The Corporate Takeover of the Motorcycle Club World

After buying a motorcycle, you might be surprised by how much more money you need to spend on proper and safe gear. If you didn\’t leave enough money, you may need quality gear cheap.
