Mike had loved it, the band was one of his  personal favorites and he felt like he was living large accompanying  them to the show.<\/p>\n<p>Before  we came home Fred\u2019s wife Moira (the self proclaimed sex fiend) had  decided that we couldn\u2019t leave without stopping at a sex shop and we\u2019d  had a laugh terrorizing the staff there as well. I mean, really, just  what is so scary about 12 bikers and 7 women in a fuck book store?<\/p>\n<p>In  the end we\u2019d come away with a 10 inch penis shaped vibrator for all the  single girls back home. Mike\u2019d been puzzling about how we were planning  to get them across the border without claiming them and having to pay  extra but Moira told him not to worry as she had a plan.<\/p>\n<p>We  climbed on our bikes and headed out to the freeway, I remembered the  roars of the engines and looking ahead to see Al\u2019s ape\u2019s and Fred\u2019s  chopper glistening in the sun. We\u2019d only ridden about 15 minutes when  Moira\u2019s arms started flapping around like she was having a seizure.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d  all pulled over on the side of the road and Moira jumps off and drops  her drawers for all to see and fishes out the Benewah balls she\u2019d  purchased for herself in the store!<\/p>\n<p>More  laughter was had by all, a little name calling not withstanding and I  remember thinking that we really were a family \u2013 a family of misfits,  but a family none the less.<\/p>\n<p>Just  before we\u2019d got to the border Fred had pulled us all over and Moira had  slipped a vibrator into the pant leg of each of the guys as they sat on  their bikes, the end result being that all of them looked like they  were hung like horses and happy to be there!<\/p>\n<p>And  as only our good luck would have it we had all female border crossing  guards that day\u2026all they did was look at the bulges like they were gob  smacked and wave people through to the other side.<\/p>\n<p>Mike and I\u2019d laughed all the way home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sound: Cream \u2013 Crossroads, Janis Joplin \u2013 Cry Baby, The Temptations \u2013 Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Deep Purple \u2013 Smoke on the Water, Elton John \u2013 Burn Down the Mission, Moody Blues \u2013 Go Now, Herman\u2019s Hermits \u2013 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/?page_id=6955\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":6871,"menu_order":11,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6955","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6956,"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6955\/revisions\/6956"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wyzwmn9444.live-website.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
