The Back Door Days: Motorcycle Rider

Directory

 

We had some “colorful” patrons at times.

There were daytime regulars and nighttime regulars and sometimes we had all-the-time regulars. This was a time before the drinking laws were being enforced as they are now. But even then, we didn’t want anyone to get hurt, so occasionally we would have to refuse to serve them any more to drink.

 

The Rebel

We had one guy who was a bit of a rebel from time to time and to say he could be difficult would be an understatement. He rode a big Harley or Chopper or something like that.

 

Anyway, after he had been asked to leave for the ump-teenth time, he decided he would get even. He backed his bike up to that north door, had his buddy open the door, and promptly filled the lounge with exhaust.

 

Of course, he was banned from coming back for a while. He eventually apologized and we eventually let him come back. Some peoples children !

 

He actually was a pretty cool guy, just didn’t like to be told what to do.
