Long ago in a Galaxy far, far away...

There was a tribe of crazy do-gooders who thought it was fun to push the personnel limits of bike riding, beer consumption, and general mayhem. They were led on their earthly adventure by a fun-loving and magnanimous leader affectionately call Slovic. Through the leadership of Slovic and a general tribal culture "to give back", they traveled across the land signing songs and raising awareness for ailments of the heart, inspired their fallen comrade and spiritual leader, Dave Browne. This convergence of good-humored souls happens once a year in a Secret location only known to Slovic and his merry band of misfits.

Stay tuned for the adventure of a lifetime...
