September 14, 2009, we were privileged to have Dave Perewitz, a self-taught designer, mechanic, painter, and fabricator of custom bikes. Dave brought several of his bikes including NASCAR driver's Tony Stewart's. He has built bikes for wrestler Hulk Hogan, Aerosmith's Brad Whitford, NFL Player Rubin Brown, NASCAR'S Greg Zippadelli, Kyle Petty & Ray Everham. His custom bikes have been featured on Easyrider, Hot Rod Bikes, American Rider, American Chopper and Barnett amongst many others and television programs to include the Discovery Channel Great Biker Build-Off series, Speed Channel Gibson and Aersomith Bikes, Travel Channel programs, etc. Dave spent the day signing posters and copies of his book "Chopper Master and King of Flames" and posing for pictures. What a guy! We loved having him at the saloon and hope he comes back with more of his custom bikes. |

On September 13, 2009, our loyal annual Haddock 100 riders joined us at the saloon to raise money for Waban. Waban is a non-profit corporation organized to develop and operate programs which promote the general welfare and education of children and adults with developmental or other disabilities. Even though it was a rainy day, we still raised hundreds of dollars. Pictured at left Bentley's Saloon's employee Lisa Rivard with Waban friends.

August 30, 2009, we were fortunate to have the Shadley Brothers at Bentley's. The brothers, Mark & Paul, are well known for their outstanding knowledge in designing, fabricating, and custom painting services. Their company has won countless shows and awards. Their "one-off" bikes have been featured on the covers of many motorcycle magazines since they began offering their talents to the public. Their latest project can be seen on the cover of the 2009 "Drag Specialties Fat Book." Mark & Paul enjoy riding at various rallies and events around the country. A saloon patron brought their frame & engine to the saloon to leave with the Shadley Bros. We look forward to seeing their new creation!! The frame can be seen, along with the custom bikes Mark & Paul brought to Bentley's by clicking here. Pictured to the right Mark & Paul Shadley with one of their custom bikes.

On July 25, 2009, the first annual Herb Noble Memorial Motorcycle run to benefit the families of children staying at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center was held. Herb was a dear friend to the Bush family and to the Bentley's Saloon family. Herb's son, Bob, and other family members have worked diligently this past year to raise money for the foundation. More than 80 bikes showed up for the run, and with all of Bob's perseverance and the donations from our community more than $6,000 was raised for the Children's Hospital. It was a tearful moment when Debbie, whose family has benefited from the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital, stood up at the saloon and expressed her feelings about the foundation and how much it helped her child and their family.
