Greasebag 11'
-You Greasy Mutha Fucka's!!!
Well,what
can I say?That was one of the best weekends of the year!Grail put on
one hell of a good time.Here's how it went down...

-This all started in Boston for the
Dice Magazine party at
the Baseball tavern.We,a
friend Marc and me left Cape about 10am Friday morning taking r3A up
through Plymouth and into Kingston then flipping over to pick up r58.Up
in the Quincy area we just hopped on the highway and booted since it
looked as if the rain was comin early.We got into Boston,through the
traffic and into the HoJo's parkin lot at about noon.There was no other
bikes or Scoots,it was also a scooter rally the same weekend,anywhere.We
got the bikes unpacked and checked in to our rooms.A few minutes after
that my buddy Jon-Micheal from
Prohibited Garage shows up in the lot riding
Prohibited Phill's Trumpet.He was meeting up with
McGoo from
Builtwell do do some Photos.The 4 of us decided to walk down Boylston to get some grub at the
Pour House.After we headed back,grabbed the bikes and rode down to Roxbury to the
H.O.T.W. garage.

McGoo
took a ton of picks of the bikes and we talked to some locals out front
for a bit but wanted to get back before the rain headed in.We got back
to the hotel right as the rain started drippin and Jon had to run hoem
for a bit so Marc,Goo and me headed out to get cell charges and find a
good watering hole.We ended up at
Remy's across the street from the B.T. and the soon to be party.We watched bike after bike rollin in.After a little bit Grail and
Matt
from Dice Mag. came over to partake in the boozing,oh wait Matt did,he
had a few Martinis...Grail didn't because he didn't want to be hungover
so he could enjoy his S'mores at camp Saturday night.Later on the
H.O.T.W. crew showed up,Jon was back,and the crowd across the street was
getting thick,it was time to go.After a few hundred drinks at Remy's we
now headed over to the B.T. and started all over again.There were a
good number of people there at this point.The guys from
Chopperhead showed,
some of the
Butchershop boys were there,my buddy
Ryan from
11th hour,people
from,CT,CA,NJ,NY,TN,DC,and Canada,and the party went off with out a
hitch.Booze,bands and badassery!Great time!Even after the bar closed
some of us were hangin out talkin in the parkin lot when some random
collage kid gives us a 12 pack...party continued out there till 3am.

Next
morning I felt like hammered shit,but it was time to ride to the
staging spot in Lexington,MA.After a quick shower,some DD ice coffee and
a egg sangwich we beat feet.Rode up through Cambridge and through
Harvard Square on our way out of town.We took a few wrong turns but
after teamin up with a pack heading there we made it in decent
time.There was a great turn out here,50 or more bikes waiting to go with
about 20+ showing up after.5 minutes there and SNAP",there goes my
clutch cable.WTF!?!Grail tells me that
Wayne from
Acme
Choppers was coming in his monster truck with a trailer acting as a
chase vehicle for the run.Of course I was the only douche that needed it
but I'm glad he was there..Long story short,I rode in the truck with
Wayne,we got of route somehow and ended up not seeing the pack again
till camp.We decided to get back to the shop and fix the bike before
going to camp and partying away any ambition of working on it.Only took a
few minutes to slap out a new cable and after rummaging threw the swap
piles I was on the road again.I took a ride down r106 looking for the
camp site but ended up miles away.Ended up going all the way back up and
around Laconia and out to r3 before I found the place.Didn't mind,at
least I got some riding in.

The camping at
White Birch Campground
in Belmont,N.H. just outside of Laconia was a real wild time with 30/30
packs of free beer and something like 50 pizzas,also free.As the
night,and drinking went on the word "strippers" came up and all hell
broke loose,4 hours later when they showed up.We circled the
bikes,flipped on the lights and sat back for the show.As $1's rained
down the girls got dirty and the boys yelled out for more.All in all it
was a awesome time,I even got hit with my own belt by one of them
bitches.A crazy ass time in the woods was had by all!
*
Some even say if you listen closely you can still hear the voice of Keith Stone out there asking for more stripper money.

At
sunrise bikes started pullin out,why I don't know.They must of gone for
a ride but the jamboree wasn't for a bit and people most were sleepin
in.About 10 we packed up and headed over to the
Greasebag Jamberee at
Acme Choppers
for a good old time,right after a quick breaky.There were some real
cool people and bikes at this somebitch!More free
beer,raffles,prizes,sweaty dudes,hot rum,burnouts,and hot sun.The show
was fantastic,cool shit everywhere to see.They had so much stuff to
raffle off people had a hard time getting there winnings home on two
wheels.Later on Grail called out the 12 winners of the bike show,each
being picked by a different vendor.My rusty old Trumpet got the award
sponsored by Jay,Truth and the rest of the Chopperhead crew.Thanks
Fellas!

After that there was a photo shoot with
all the bikes,then one by one and at this point it was basically
over.People started heading out in packs,saying there good bys on the
way through the parkin lot.
A few of us joined up to ride south back to MA. and leavin out about 4PM heading down r3 and on to r1.Just 10 miles south
Ryan H. and
Keith broke off after a gas stop and took r93s to get back asap but we just headed down r3 at a slower pace.
J,Ryan and me ran into
Marco
and his pack sitting at a gas station in the shade 6 miles down the
road so we grouped up and continued on.About 4 miles later we stop at a
light and as we start off again my clutch adjuster falls off of my
lever.The group pulls over and Ryan and me walk back up the hill to find
it.Lucky for me I do,or so I thought.When I get back to the bike to put
it back on I realize the new cable had come apart at the soldered
end.Again,WTF!?!Well r 93 was right there and we decided that that was
the only reasonable option.A quick push up the hill a bit and I point
and shoot,popped it over and nailed it straight threw two sets of lights
and on to the highway.Marco and his crew went on down 3 but Ryan,J and I
were makin good time for home,untill we hit the traffic.With no other
option we breakdowned it for 15 miles and around the pile up only to see
it again 10 miles later.

This
time I almost got pinched at a on ramp that was backed up but I managed
to sneak back to the shoulder only to go off the edge and onto a dirt
patch above a ravine.I rode that for 30 feet and eventually got a good
foot plant to get me back on the road.On we go for a while and now a
toll is coming.J runs up ahead and pays as Ryan and me blow through.We
made it 85 mile,south of Boston before I ran out of gas on the side of
r93 near Granite ave.Luckly Ry had to pick up his truck back in Newton
and had broken off in the tunnel to go get it so he was already on his
way to get me.J hung out with me for a bit but had to get back to R.I.
and said his good by only to get a flat 10 miles away he told me.Ryan
showed up 20 minutes later,we loaded the rusty old bitch in the truck
and headed south again laughing about the weekend along the way.We
decided to stop in Plymouth at the bar I work at,
Bostons, for a few cold ones,which ended up with me getting home at 4am but that s a different story...
Thanks

there tits,or just rode a motorbike with us,it was a great fuckin
weekend!
