2025 Season Seven (7) is a wrap
NK Merrimack Valley Radio
Brother Sig from the Appalachian Chapter returns to the Podcast table with a promise to make regular appearances in the upcoming 8th Season! We start with the intent of looking back over the previous season. Not surprisingly, CY2025 was one of the busiest years in the chapter’s history, with an event a month. He remembers the K9 event in September as his personal highlight, but notes quickly that they also jumped in quickly on a fundraiser for a local police officer shot in the line of duty and another for the family of a police officer killed in the line of duty. ...

Bloodstripe Chapter Call In Brothers Roadside and Pennywise joined the podcast to introduce us to the Bloodstripe chapter.

Over the years people have retired, moved away, and reduced the numbers overall. That was one of the biggest challenges for the chapter,...

NK Merrimack Valley Radio
Stewy’s Garage Episode 2025 03 Brother Stewy returns to the podcast with his segment entitled “Stewy’s Garage”. Today we talk about his own experiences with his recent transmission failure. While researching his repairs and his discovery of trending failures on the Compensator Sprocket. As the mileage is accrued, the splines wear and could fail entirely. It's an individual decision, but you may want to consider preventive replacement. (Baker Drivetrain Link below) What do you think about that? We get sidetracked talking about breaking down on our chapter’s...
info_outlineSouthern Tier Call In
We welcome Brother Contempt and Bulldog from our New York Southern Tier Chapter.
The chapter started in 2004 and recently celebrated their 20th Anniversary last year.
The chapter is a busy, tight crew that opened their own clubhouse last year.
We talked about their unique geography in the mountainous foothills of the NY Catskills. Great scenery, great roads, there’s not a bad direction to head in. We laughed about cold mornings and warm afternoons.
Southern Tier hosts some different events like their Fly In Breakfasts at the local airport. They’ve been hosting them for about five (5) years now which regularly draws 200 people. The chapter provides the manpower assistance and in turn the chapter benefits via fundraising.
“We leave it better than we got it”, says Brother Contempt. Pointing out that they clean the venue thoroughly before they leave. Minutes later perhaps confessing to some nefarious activities as well. (joking).
We talk about their venue for the August Event. The field provides plenty of space of camping overnight, axe throwing, shooting competitions, bonfires, tattoo artists, bands, and more. This will be the 21st Year of the event and in the last two years they’ve expanded the event even more with bands on Friday and more activities. The event is open to the public and clubs which are encouraged to attend and support our Veterans and First Responders. This year Brother Ambassador promises to “to blow it up and make it bigger and better than ever”.
Contempt contends that he will soon succeed in having a Huey or a Blackhawk land in the field one of these years.
The chapter admits they might have “stole” the term Burger Burns from the Merrimack Valley with tremendous success! “We’ve gotten a tremendous following.” It helps us out during the winter, we post that thing on our facebook and people show up.
It's been a huge help to the local Vets Club and Legion Post when the Burger Burn draws the crowd and it's a huge boost to their business.
Contempt expounds on why it's important to have that community connection.
“If something happens in this area, one of the first group people talk about is the Nam Knights.” That only benefits the veterans and first responders. That results in some interesting donations.
This year they did fishing gear and tackle for the Vets Home. We get side tracked a little with a discussion about their donation of robotic cats and dogs to the Memory Unit at the Vets Home. What a unique idea. A few years ago they delivered 10-15 electric razors.
This year the chapter hopes to do the Tail of the Dragon and the Blue Ridge Parkway as part of a chapter week’s long ride in the Fall.
“We’ve got a good crew, that likes to ride, likes to do things and hangout. Alot of BS flies and a lot of drinks get dranks!”
