ROGUE DOES 69 AT MALABAR MO’s– Yes he did. Doris, his brothers and friends put on his 69th birthday party at Malabar MO’s in Malabar Florida. This is the Biker Bar that Rogue and many others hang out at.
He was told ahead of time to drink as much as he wanted and have a good time. That could have been a dangerous offer, butSome safe guards were put in place like having kids and grandkids with him during the day. Rogue is a Bikernet correspondent, performance bike builder, a member of the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame and a contributor to Easyriders for 30 years.
As the day went on and the children left the older kids started to play. Now, you have to realize, this was his 69th and he was not going to let that opportunity get away. Oh Yes you can guess where this is going and went. There were also some 34 & a half deals made where, okay I owe you one or vice versa. Hey he has had a long time to come up with this and you can believe he was taking advantage of it.
There was plenty of food, beer, wine and soda for all, Music was supplied by Elgin Hooper and those in attendance had a good time.
Rogue is known for liking his Jack Daniels and he got a full years supply as well as numerous other items. One of the bottles was taken to the pickup and Kellie made him a drink. Now Rogue knows better than to have Kellie make mixed drinks for him, but he was not paying attention and pretty soon he realized he had a buzz. Luckily that was anticipated and he had a designated driver.
Some of the other details are a fuzzy, but I know I had one Hell Of A Time and so far everyone else said they did too. My best gift was having those that could make it and mean something to me being there.
Now all I have to do is get through a year of 69 and 34 & 1/2s
I’ll Give it my Best Shot
