Harley Davidson Rockin'

San Jacinto Highroller Toy Run

Well, it's that 'giving' time of year again and bikers everywhere are busy with charity toy run events to do their part.
For me, here in Houston, two of the biggest and best organized runs are sponsored by San Jacinto Highrollers MC and Leathernecks MC (USMC). I've participated in runs by both clubs and have always been impressed with the turn out. The route is well planned, road guards are in full force, and freeways are blocked off so riders can roll in unity, safety...and style.
This year, the weather was a little on the downside, cloudy, drissling rain, and cold. The turn out was not as its been in the past, but about 300 diehards still came out to show their support. However, the absence of independent was compensated by the presence for many clubs; Bandidos, Christian Ministries, Gypsies, of course, SJH, etc. The lead club came out in numbers to show their support at the Honda Wings Dealership where registration took place. Though they did not join in the actual ride, I'm sure they made it to the after party at the Cypress Salon.
I hope to roll out next weekend to support the Leathernecks toy run in League City. All in all, it's for a good cause and riding with hundreds of other fellow bikers...nothing like it...truly rollin' thunder!

Against the Wind

...................................
The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home

I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
....................................

....................................
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
against the wind

Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'Against the wind
