A crazy story about how a biker couple's friend got his FAWKINNAE bumper sticker. While attending the Dirty Rotten Bikerfest in Oak Grove, Minnesota.

What red-blooded American male wouldn’t kill to go on a Lake of the Woods ice fishing trip? Back in the early 90’s, (that’s 1990’s, not 1890’s) my answer was always a resounding, “Fawkinnae Yes!” Fishing was generally quite good and the camaraderie was excellent, just the recipe for a good party.
