Motorcycle Man: Jersey Style

WAIT until you hear the Motorcycle Man experience I had today!

I was out doing the corn maze/hayride thing with the fam today...and we decided to pop into a tremendous lunch spot called The Cabin in Freehold, New Jersey.  Why does Freehold sound familiar?  Because that's where Bruce Springsteen grew up.  And let me tell you...I guarantee Bruce has had a beer or two there.  It's just that kind of place.  Literally a cabin...very casual...a great bar...and yummy, tasty tavern food.  OH yeah.  I love this place.  

So we pull into a parking spot...and who pulls up next to us but some hottie pattotie on a bike...with his lady love holding on to him.

The helmet came off and he had a shaved head...was in tremendous shape...and was wearing jeans, boots and a black, long sleeved shirt that said Old Bones Speed Shop on the back...with a skull and crossbones.  

You cannot MAKE this shit up.  

Meanwhile, his woman was cool...jeans...black knee length boots...long dark hair...you know, the standard upper class biker babe look. 

So we walk in...and "Gimme All Your Lovin'" from ZZ Top is playing...and at this point I am ready to park myself all day and into the evening.  But I can't!  Why?  Because of those meddling kids!  LOL OK I'm not being nice.  I did spawn them and all.

So anyway...the next song that came on was "Pour Some Sugar on Me".  Can you go wrong in a rustic bar with Def Leppard coming out of the speakers?  I'm thinking no...no you can not.

At one point, Old Bones came over and stood right behind our table and had a conversation with three guys at the bar...all in various levels of upper class biker dress...and all were in good shape. And it was all I could do not to snap a photo.  I really have to get more daring with the old iPhone. 

Soooo....long story longer...  When we were finished, we went outside...

<-----and this was the sight I saw upon walking out the door.  Um yeah...I'll be going back there again ASAP.  Preferably at night.  When there is a band.  And beverages.  Sans kids.  You can bet on it.  ;)
