thank you Irish Rich!

Can always rely on Irish Rich to point out something I didnt know...
this painting below is the other one from that time that wasnt made into a poster, I apologize for the lack of decent pix of it.

Harold and Belle's

So, once a month, (mostly) I get together to have lunch with a few guys I went to high school with. Today we went to Harold and Belles, Creole food since 1969. DAMN it was good!

What happened to me eating better i don't know...

But another cool thing happened... we are sitting there talking about who knows what and the word chopper and motorcycle gets said and the lady across from us asks us if we were talkin about choppers. we say yes and we end up hearing some pretty amazing stories about riding with one of the black clubs back in the 60s' and 70's in the LA area. About rollin up to Oakland with the East Bay Dragons... Neat shit. The best part of the whole conversation was watching Cathy (her name, her daughter's name was Kai, it was her birthday!) talk about all this stuff and the twinkle in her eye! It was inspiring!

I get so down on the whole chopper scene coz its not what i think it should be or whatever might bum me out and i just try to do my thing, but watching her talk about guys riding choppers, jammin on jockey shift bikes at high speed really made my day.

The real history of the whole outlaw biker scene from the 60's and 70's is disappearing.

It was an honor to sit and talk with you Cathy about choppers and that time rollin with em!

and Kai, happy birthday!!!

we also spent a while talkin about food with Kai, turns out she is a pretty famous chef, and i love food so thats a good thing!
