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!!!
