NH Chronicle Tomorrow Night

[Greene's Basin Girl]

The Hell's Angel's in the in the 1960's tried to roll over my parents car. My sister had borrowed the car for the evening. They had gone to the Weirs to see the motorcyclists. She and her friends were very scared. They still talk about it every year during motorcycle week.

As a young boy in the early sixties staying with my mother up the camp in gilmanton every summer from 1952 thru 1970 I witness alot of bike weeks. And I can remeber my mother being terrified of all the bikers camping all over the place, around the small Sawyer lake and on the sides of 107 and everywhere else. I thought it was really cool. I remember one year, my father had a volkswagon beetle around 1961 or so we were getting ready to get out of the car infront of the big brick church in laconia and a large group of bikers had stopped at the traffic light, some got off their bikes and walked over to another beetle parked a few spaces infront of us and lifted it up and rolled it over. Needless to say we did not attend mass that day.
Years later, I had a BSA Lightning and started attending the races in loudon when it was just a racetrack and woods, and you pay one price for the weekend, maybe 20. and camp in the woods and have a wonderful, memorable weekend.
I think it's all these memories that have kept me on 2 wheels since, I have traveled all over the country and motorcyclist have evolved over the years to a more civilized sort. But there's a liitle bit of rebel in all of us.

OMG, that was your parent's car??? They had chains and everything. I think the National Guard was called and they cleared the street.
