The Back Road Rider with Calvin Scott “Skeet” Sheeder

Happy Birthday America! Way to be born! Thank you, Founding Fathers, for risking your way of life way back then so we may enjoy the America we have today. Despite some people's best attempt to re-make, re-shape, and re-invent the country you gave us so many years ago, your founding principles still make this country the one people still risk life and limb to come to. I know there have been many times over the last 250-plus years when you have turned over in your final resting places and, in some cases, probably did a somersault or two. Rest assured that there are still many patriots among us who at a moments notice would not hesitate to give life and limb to keep it that way, for ourselves and our children's children. thank you! I know it's a stretch but picture our Founding Fathers coming back for a visit. I can see it now, George Washington cruising the strip on his Harley-Davidson Softail Custom. Picture Ben (I can call him Ben!) Franklin rolling up on a custom-made low rider street chopper with an 8 cyl 350 ci, 355 hp Chevy small block engine -- that he, of course, carved from a solid block of aluminum -- tucked under the tank. Thomas Jefferson ... hmm, he seemed to be the renegade of the group so we'll put him on a crotch rocket with a cool USA paint scheme full face helmet and a flip down mirror face visor. Oh, yeah, and definitely the Florissant Mohawk on top! James Madison ... he's got Trike written all over him! Hopefully, everyone's Fourth is a safe, happy, and reasonably cool one! Gettysburg Bike Fest starts Thursday and runs to July 10. Some good bands like Charlie Daniels and Kix are slated to play there, so don't miss it! New pics and videos are coming to the back Road Rider Facebook, blog and any other venue that will accept them, so be sure to check'em out!
