After 6 years of service, he was sidelined with an injury and subsequently medically retired. The Swamp Fox located in Charleston SC,...

Bloodstripe Chapter Call In Brothers Roadside and Pennywise joined the podcast to introduce us to the Bloodstripe chapter. We had a great conversation about how they are working hard to make an impact and success with a close-knit knit small chapter. The chapter recently did some re-organizing to support both the Bloodstripe and 1st North chapters. The Bloodstripe chapter was founded in 2013 and comprised mainly of Marines. Over the years people have retired, moved away, and reduced the numbers overall. That was one of the biggest challenges for the chapter,...

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.

Brother Cartman joins the Merrimack Valley Podcast, coming across the airways from the Corn Masg, Cigar Ash, & Motorcycle Trash Podcast!
Brother Cartman is a Patriot Member and 3rd Generation Patch Member of the Club, his Dad, Machine Gun Kelley is also a member of the Parent chapter and his Grandfather, now retired was also member of the Parent and Tampa chapters. He recently celebrated his 10th Patch Anniversary and recalls how his Grandfather intersected with the club at the local VA during their bingo nights & subsequently prospected and joined the club.
We joked a bit about the 2nd Bike Trend working its way through the club. Cartman has an “unridable” 1980 Sportster in the back of the garage that’s always “amost there”. The second bike is almost always the favorite; but you wouldn’t want it for the long march.
The Annual Beefsteak event was recently hosted by the Parent Chapter and organized by Brotheer Flatline. It was a great time and another successful event. We talked about how in many ways, the Beefsteak marks the first big event for the New Year. The event recently moved to its current location in the Elks Lodge in Paramus NJ and by all accounts it has been a great location.
Next Up is the Parent Chapter’s Car & Bike Show on Sunday, May 4th (rain date: May 18th). The biggest event of the year for the Parent Chapter. The event boasts DJ Music, Vendors, and plenty of food, the grill will be going all day! Its hard duty working from early in the morning, throughout the day, sometimes in the blazing sun and in the heat.
The Car & Bike Show event has had a long run at the Parent Chapter (does anyone know how long its been continuously running?).
Gates open at 8am and Cartman promises he will be up front working the parking crew. He doesn’t have a flashy safety vest; but he did get radios which he clips on his shirt. It gives him an air of importance, he says laughing.
The event is family friendly, public event with cars and motorcycles, so the decision was made to forgo alcoholic beverages. Its the one event at the club house that is minus libation.
Next Up is the club wide run to DC for Memorial Day!
July 26th, the Parent chapter will be doing their Christmas in July event. This past year, the chapter did their first Toys for Tots run and donated the toys to a local Boys & Girls Home. In July they are going to invite the kids out to the clubhouse, grill, have games, music, and collect donations for the home.
September 21st, the chapter is hosting their Annual “Buzz Run”. An escorted ride, it used to be their poker run, destination is to be decided. Last year they had a great route for the ride, rolling roads and wooded area. The run returns to the club house with a large spread of food. The Run raises money for a Scholarship Fund that Brother Fritz will present to the school every year.
October 4th is the Chilli Cook-Off. Brother Goob organizes the event, which is held Rain or Shine. Cartman thinks its one of his favorite event and denies he might be a bit partial because his wife is defending champion chilli winner. Everyone gets to judge the competitors during the competition which has a panel of judges but also awards the Fan Favorites. Competition is rumored to be fierce. The Champion gets their name on a plaque and become immortalized in the clubhouse.
December 12 has been reserved for the Parent Chapter’s Christmas Party. Details to follow.
October 18th for the External Chapter Ceremony at the Orlando Chapter.
Cartman reveals some insider information on the Mash, Ash, and Trash Podcast as we wrap up the episode.
