Lake Baško and Zelenci

Last year we presented you the Harley Owners Group meeting or the meeting of the “hogs” in Portorož that we wrote about in our Beehive, so this year we made our way across the Karawanks. The biker meeting of all sorts, mostly Harley Davidson bikers, at Lake Faak was this year’s 20th meeting in a row and it will surely go on next year, although some rumors say that in 5 years the meeting will move to a different location. Rumors and superstitions, as it goes… But surely the inhabitants around the Faak Lake showed us the cold shoulder and turned their backs on the great opportunity they had right in front of them. Turns out that, at the same time, they had a royal visit of some kind of a spoiled shake, who offered them some heavy cash and ongoing heavenly parties and delights along with it. And he fooled them really well, from the first to the last one. Luckily for us, the attending bikers of the meeting were in such a large mass that there was not enough space in the Carinthian region to offer each and every one accommodations for the night, so many of the bikes stayed on the other side of the Karawanks and a few in other parts of Slovenia, all across. So, let the pictures, montages, triptychs and polyptych speak for themselves.

 

20 years
 
We come in peace…
 
Eating and rocking. 
 
When I grow up, and when my children grow up, when I’ll retire. 
 
Forward, backward.
 
Polyptych V8, Boss Hoss. 
 
Real Indians and fake cowboys.
 
Exhibition after exhibition.
 
A small truck.
 
Tricycle for the elderly.
 
Eat spare ribs; they are delicious and healthy alike. 
 
Triptych R&R.
 
You can’t escape some kind of US-kitsch.
 
The stars, some different, some alike, crosses of all sorts, bibles and catalogs. Neo-village merchants at their neo-booths. 
 
And then a few kilometers away, peace, tranquility, rest, a different kind of idyll. Zelenci.

Born in the right year and outlived everything that happened in Trbovlje and around in the last 60 years and some more, also studying and working in Ljubljana, but as a daily commuter. Now retired. Never surrender! I am a co-worker of some movies and such things. Let’s say, biker-specific things. And Father Christmas, when the time comes. Red cross. Worked in institutes such as Delavski dom Trbovlje, a voice of the radio station Rock radio every Sunday at 20.00 pm and in the OSAP Hive with newest features at Fridays.
