<\/span>The sights and sounds of the Minneapolis freeway immediately transport me back to the last time Beach and I had ridden across the border with a gang of friends for a concert and a weekend of drunken debauchery. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019d stayed at the Duluth Radisson and driven the rest of the guest\u2019s in the hotel crazy running around the circular hotel from room to room, most of us half dressed and half drunk like big kids in a big kid\u2019s candy store.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019d ended up partying with the headliners from the concert we\u2019d attended and found out just how decadent life could be when you had \u201cenough\u201d money\u2026tequila bottles and lime rinds had littered the floor of the pool and when the hotel manager tried to stop the partying the band\u2019s manager gave him a wad of cash tied up in a rubber band \u201cto cover the damages\u201d he said in his staid British accent. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/p>\n

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! <\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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! <\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike and I\u2019d laughed all the way home.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
