Biker Brotherhood Alive And Well

I remember as a young Biker going to Biker Parties with my Father “Pappy”. I didn’t have a Motorcycle License yet and I would ride on the back of his. I think back to these events and as I look back now threw the eyes of a person a bit older and hopefully a bit wiser. There are two different types of people that stand out at these events. I will call the first group the “Guests”, These are the people who would show up at parties pay their $5 to get in, Most of these people were good people who were there to have a good time,but of course there were always the ones there to just drink and eat as much as they could for their $5 . [I:http://www.mountainmusicinn.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/EljayJames8.jpg]

Then there was the other type I will call them “Family” ! These are the people you knew and who you saw at every event. These Guys were Big Hairy Bikers with loud hearty laughs, These guys always brought plenty of their own beer and food ! You never had to ask these guys for a Beer or a Burger, When they saw you you got a Big Bear Hug and a Beer and a Burger thrown your way. These Bikers where all close friends and Brothers of my Father Pappy so as his Son I was automatically family too. These Bikers lived by a simple Creed “If I have a loaf of bread my brother too has a loaf of bread” or more simply whats mine is yours.

I think that creed above all others is what made me want to be a Biker and has kept me a Biker all these years! Now I am not here to say that spirit of the Biker world has died because it is still alive, It just seems to me that it is not as strong as it once was! I do not know if it is because my eyes and heart may have grown a bit older and Colder over the years, If its the fact the Biker world has become a lot more Corporate,if its all these Biker War Movies! or if it is as I have said many times before the true nature of what being a Biker is not being past down from the Older Biker Generation to the younger Biker Generation. I think most likley it is a combination of all of the above! When you get the chance watch the 1993 Movie “Running Cool” I have always found that movie to express best what I think of as the true Biker Spirit !

These are my thoughts I think of as I see Bikers who just take and give nothing back to the Community! As large Corporations of men in suits and ties who have never even been near a Motorcycle take over and buy up Biker events that have been around for decades so only they can sell Merchandise at those events and cater to the Yuppie Biker crowd, While pushing away true Bikers! I keep my eyes open looking and I still see the true spirit when I see someone show up at an event with a pot of Chili, Some Brisket, A deep Fried Turkey or even just a Bottle to pass around.

Being a Biker is about more then just being able to ride a Motorcycle, Its about caring about those around you , You truly care about their lives and work to make them better and you know they care about your life ! Every now and again I get a phone call and I will hear another Biker I have known over the years who had a True Bikers Heart has past on, and I wonder how many of us are left and are we a fading Culture?

I used to often hear the saying “If I have a Loaf of Bread my Brother too has a loaf of Bread” It is a Creed We should never loss and I hope to hear more often!

Thoughts Alone In the Night

[I:http://www.mountainmusicinn.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/EljayJames8.jpg] I cling to hold on and to stay where I am, I awake again alone in the night and I wonder why?

My Thoughts go to a time long ago, I was happy then in that Time. This Place was my Home and many men my Brothers!

As my mind wanders in the darkness, my Heart broken, something pounding away inside of my head, my mind feeling as if it is about to give way, exploude and end me.

I think back to the sorrow, the loss, the pain I went threw and I ask myself why I would stay and struggle to recapture that part of my life, instead of moving forward to some where new some where bright and sunny some where I can find Love and can ride all year long and no one knows me?

As I become more awake and more aware other memories push their way free and forward, My mind trys to hide these memories, Because if they can be Forgotten then maybe there will be no pain no sorrow and no loss.

I Remember Riding these Roads, Not alone but with Brothers, How they where always there for me and I for them. I remember being happy and being a part of something that felt great. It was a Botherhood and we traveled this Island , Not just another place on a map but my Home, My Island!

The Sorrow pain and the loss caused my mind to turn on me! When my Brothers died my mind took it as a betrayal and made me believe if they betrayed me then others would betray me! Everyone would Betray me !

My mind became a battle field of thoughts, some of them my own and others were not mine at all. As I fought to reclaim my mind, I could hear a slight whisper that told me there was a reason for everything and if I wanted to know the answer it would come to me here on Long Island.

I believe the battle is over and my mind is now mine again and I am in control. As with all battlefields there are now scars and it is not the same as it once was. I fear tension could arise again and the Fighting could once again resume. I had alway Believed I was a vey much stronger person in both body and mind and who knows, Maybe now I am ?

If there is still a chance there is a reason to all this, Then I have to know what it is ! Do I continue to have faith in what could have just been the whispering of insanity or do I pack my Bags, open my heart and begin again some where New ?

This question comes to me again and again as I lay alone in the night as I feel myself growing more and more tired everyday and I continue to stay. If I leave am I running away from here and If I stay am I only hiding here?

I thought I knew what the Future had planned for me, But as each day passes I find myself more alone, I wonder if it is all becoming less of an ideal living inside me and more a Memory of Beliefs from a person I once was.

The person who used to be – LJ James ??? [I:http://www.mountainmusicinn.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/EljayJames2.jpg]

Some times the road can be very Long,

Sometimes the road will not be paved and will be very hard to ride down,

But as True Bikers We will always keep going and continue till the Ride is over!

The best way to Set Up An Rv When RVing Full-time, Part One

One of the things that we really wished for when RVing fulltime is some sort of check list that listed all the steps you need to do once you setup your Recreational vehicle at the Rv campground.

We all went on the internet and we couldn’t find a good Rv set up checklist anyplace. So we designed a thirteen step checklist to help you set up your Recreational vehicle when you arrive at a camping area. We are going to include steps 1-7 on this page.

1. Park the Recreational vehicle

* This may appear to be sort of self evident, but you really should park the Mobile home so that the electrical, drinking water and sewer hookups are on the exact same side as their specific hookups.

2. Level the Rv

* Walk inside the Recreational vehicle and pull out your level and assess how level the Motor home is actually. In case the Recreational vehicle is level go to step 3.

* If it is not level, then get some 2×10 boards cut to around one foot long and set them behind the tires along the side of the Motor home this is lower than the other.

* After that back up the Motor home so that it lands on the 2x10s. It helps to have a spotter next to the tires accompanied by a radio.

* If needed, increase and modify the 2x10s so that the Motor home is level.

3. Chock the Mobile home Wheels

* Place some thing ahead of and at the rear of the Rv wheels that can keep the 5th wheel from shifting. We all suggest the plastic-type chocks simply because perform so well.

* Chunks of wood and bricks work too, nevertheless , you really do not want to worry about the Motorhome moving about so secure some really good chocks because they don’t cost a lot.

4. Set Down the Front Stabilizers

* To begin with, loosen the stabilizer supports on the stabilizers.

* After that place additional 2×10 pieces immediately beneath the stabilizers and extend the stabilizers halfway.

* After that yank and drop the Recreational vehicle stabilizer feet over the 2×10 blocks, restore the pins then touch the extend switch until the Motorhome actually starts to raise off the back of the vehicle hitch somewhat.

* Look for a sliver of light between your Recreational vehicle hitch and the Motor home itself. And then tighten the stabilizer supports and make sure everything is stable and secure.

5. Place Down the Rear Stabilizers

* Just like the front stabilizers, set down the rear stabilizers until eventually they practically reach the ground. Place additional 2x10s underneath the feet then wholly extend the stabilizers.

* The more 2x10s you employ underneath the back stabilizers, the more firm and less unstable the Motor home will likely be. Typically I put seven or eight of these under the feet to really make it really tight. If you do this in conjunction with the stabilizer supports, the Mobile home is going to be as rock solid as home.

* After the feet are completely lowered, make tighter your stabilizer supports until the entire stabilizer structure is secure.

6. Detach the truck from the Recreational vehicle

* Be sure you see daylight in between the hitch on the pickup truck and also the hitch plate on the fifth wheel Recreational vehicle, next take out hitch pin.

* Should the pin gets wedged, transfer the truck into Neutral. This process lowers the stress on the hitch pin so you’re able to release it way more easily.

* Once the pin is discharged, disconnect the electrical line in addition to the emergency brake stop.

In our next blog post, we are going to complete the step by step checklist, so watch out for that next.
