Spyke and Mike

Spyke & Mike_October 2017

When Mike, When? What an end to summer, my BTR friends. I hope hurricane Irma did not disrupt your lifestyle too badly. For Mike and me, it was over a week with no power, lots of cleanup, and clearing out the refrigerators at the Sanctuary. By now, most of you Floridians know what it’s like to be windblown at 50, 60, even 70 mph for a short period of time. I on the other hand, have been enjoying that kind of continuous breeze for years.

Spyke & Myke – Words of Wisdom

Hot diggity dog my BTR friends, it's March and to bikers that means Daytona time! Last year Mike and I took the long way from the west coast through the forest ending up in Flagler Beach at John and Karen’s shanty on the inter-coastal.

He turns to me and says, “Hell yeah! That's why we live here. I’ve grown old and can’t endure the cold, among other things. Speaking of which Spyke, take a moment from your basking in…

It’s Thanksgiving and Mike is at it Again Check this out my BTR friends. After Mike’s mini electrocution at the Moorehead compound last month, he is slowly recovering to his abnormal self. It’s been three trips to the dentist to correct the fillings that melted, four trips to physical therapy to get some feeling back in his leg and butt cheek, and the ophthalmologist says his eye twitching will go away in years to come. … Me, I’m glad this pic isn't the before and after shot had I not fallen off the scooter seconds prior to Mike’s zapping. Instead,…

Check out Mike’s latest epic failure my BTR friends

Check out Mike’s latest epic failure my BTR friends. Craven invites Mike and me over to the Moorhead compound to check out his state-of-the-art theft deterrent system. Mike was all up for that as he is always looking for new ways to protect me from being stolen. We cross the big bridge and wind our way through the darkest parts of Temple Terrace and pull into the trailer park. Mike rolls up to the entrance of the Moorhead lot. The driveway is filled with trucks missing wheels, a van missing the back doors, and a couple of motorcycles missing various…
