Default Sonny Barger comes to town!

He is out makin the rounds promoting his newest book and stopped by one of my favorite local watering holes today. Me and a friend rode down there.....He was not supposed to show up till 11:00 but by 10:30 there was a good 100 folks waiting around.



If you look closely, you can see a camera that was installed on the power pole a few weeks back. Our tax dollars at work...Big Brother was keepin an eye on us.



By the time we left about 1:00 the parking lot was packed. Patches from all over the East Coast. I did not wanna cough up 30 bucks for a book, but I did get a Calendar and he signed it.



I told him he musta brought some west coast weather with him cuz it was a picture perfect weather, in the low 70's. Took a nice lil ride afterwards, it was a great day.

Excellent photo. That man has paid his dues, IN SPADES. I hope that I am in as good shape as he is if I am lucky enough to live that long..

I think he's 72 years old. Doubt I'll ever make it that far and he's lived a lot harder than me. Love or hate the man/lifestyle etc. he is a legend.
