SMITTY CELEBRATES A HALF CENTURY OF HULA SHIRTS

This is one of the parties that I make every year. Smitty and I have been friends for over 25 years, starting when we were both fighting the mandatory helmet laws up north.

It is also Father’s Day, Smitty and my son Dale’s birthday (within a coupla days), and a gathering of friends from all over the country Add in plenty of good food and drink, and you have all the ingredients. Spice it up with who can wear the wildest of colorful shirt, or other clothing, a bunch of pretty ladies, new and younger bikers, some of them our own blood, and it’s more like a family reunion then a shop party.

The motorcycles are a show in themselves ranging from knuckles to Evo strokers and four-valves. There are always a large amount of panheads, a spirat favorite, and specialty, there is always plenty of bench racing and bringing each other up to date on what is working and what is not. What could be better than this? Play your cards right and you may get invited next year.

Oh yeah, by the way, Smitty turned 50!!!
