The roots of the “ MC Promillos” go back
more than twenty years. In the older days - 1983 - they where using the
good sounding name “MC Thunderbird” not knowing that there
was already a big group of motorists with the same name. Of course this
group got really angry.
The
members at that time: President Harry, Alex, Boni, Doc, Heinz, Reamy and
Robert Now with our new group name we didn’t have problems anymore. There was one group in Bavaria with the same name but in the meantime the group didn´t exist anymore. Shortly
after our new group foundation the president Harry died in a motorcycle
accident. We all where terribly shocked and the group seemed to fall apart.
Within the
next two years we got strengthen by another member with the name “Faxe”.
Five of us travelled
to some cyclemeetings in and outside the country. The yearly summer vacation
always got planned together and took us all across Europe. 1997 the old friend
“Doc” - known from motorists and Thunderbirds already - was
taken into our group as the 7th person.
Highlights and returning events Daytona 1999 After we were
saving money since years and dispensing lots of thing we decided to empty
our savings to be able to visit the legendary Bike week in Daytona and
to enrich it with our appearance. Halloween 99 To fill up our
savings we had the wonderful idea to start a Halloween party, witch got
famous in the meantime. Within the same year we could manage it to have
the first one. “Coppa di Salzburgo” To promote also
the sportive part of our association we decided to arrange a bikers-soccer
-match. The rules were easy because there weren’t any! Not even
with the shoes – we played with everything what was similar to shoes.
Since we were not enough players we had to create a membership with “MC
Powerplutza”. Also we were able to get the south American guy El-Halek
Wolfi for us. Pula In convoy with different groups we started to our bike-week to Pula in July 2001. There we met the “Biker of Darkness” and till now we have a deep relationship to each other. Nobody can remember the exact happenings but it was a big party and some members still share human relations. Andi even went without his shoes in spite of all the rocks and thorns. Probably he got resistant to all the pains. Grilled pig To grill a pig with friends an other cycle clubs got a tradition since 15 years of the MC Promillos. Record was 3 pigs and 60 fish for about 80 persons. Lots of young pigs had to give their lives. Our favourite place for this is the “Salachau”. In the meantime it got to be a special skill to spice, spear and then spin the pig for about 7 hours. I don’t know how many pigs had to give their lives, but all the members always loved the wonderful taste of the goodies what got prepared with lots of patience and love. Without exacerbating we have to say again that we have the best pigs under the sun! Of course this is also a society event were you meet good friends and celebrate. And each one of us circled the fire late at night – mostly because of too much beer. Also the smoke of the fire got a problem for some (Doc). A special thank you we have to say to our Berni (Slatko) Daxer, since he is a master of the special skill of spearing. Also some honour to our president since he got even better: not just communicating to people – with lots of pressure we even could talk him into working. Schurli In the year 2003 our youngest guy Schurli got member of our club (in each case an enrichment). Road Eagles The flea market
in Münich is a key event in our year. We visit it already since 12
years and in the meantime the trip got to a must. Sairach We arrive through Kärnten. Together we eat “Cevapcecs” (we used up the ground beef of the whole town). Arrival at our meeting place. Some little disagreements, a crack in somebody’s knee and then 15 percent of the MC´s couldn’t leave the meeting on their own. In the old days we just had to stay out of South Tyrol but now we even should stay out of Slovenia. We have to take care that our group doesn’t get limited geography too much. Kart Is also a definite thing we do, and there we were fighting already big tournaments against the other Salzburg MC´s. We have to notice the special talented Schurli, who did the whole race (10 rounds) with closed eyes. Maybe a promising young talent! Ski event Winter sports is an important part at our group. 2003 we had the destination the inn “Schnaps Hans” on the mountain “Schmittenhöhe”. 2 days half board and a ski pass. Unforgettable how our president was skiing down into the valley on the one meter carving ski’s. Always after 4 meters had to be a turn that we could keep the dangerous speed limit under 10 km/h. Thanks to god there was no wind from the valley, otherwise this would have been a dangerous obstacle on the ski slope.This were parts and highlights of the last 5 years. We also visited lots of motorcycle meetings, fall parties, Hippy parties, carnival parties, bad guy’s meetings, rock concerts, clubhouse parties and so on in and outside the country. Robert
