CHECKIN’ OUT SOME OLD IRON

…..and, some young chicks…! 

     Had it not been for my daughter, ValGal, reminding me of this event...I probably might have forgotten about it!  But, she called, picked me up, and we made it!! Well over 100 cars and bikes were spread out over the grounds at American Legion #1, US 1, in Titusville, Fl. Really, not what I had expected, however, the Derelicts Car Club had their act together!! Rat rods, classics, customs from the early days, right up to today, some fiberglass retro’s, and, some...right out of the scope of your imagination!!  I also liked the way some of the girls wore “era” costumes, to fit in with the older cars...neat!! The heat was over-powering...some relief from the fans inside the huge pavilion, where the bar and food counter were doing a pretty brisk business!! The outside stage was host to two fine, live, bands, and ultimately the trophy presentations.   Oh yeah, Bully Rescue was doing their thing with a pit bull Kissing Booth, and yes...they got some business...not from ME, however!!! Bad weather was all around us, but all we got was a brief sprinkle, adding to the complete success of the event. Keep this in mind for next year...I will!!!

BIKE DAY AT LEGION #1

Despite the unrelenting afternoon heat, bikers poured onto the grounds of #1 American Legion on US #1, Titusville, for Bike Day.
The band, “Yesteryear” was tuning up on the brand new stage, food was being served, riders were quenching their thirst after a hot ride….hey, it was shaping up to be one good party!!
Lots of room to park the scoots...all in plain sight, then, a short walk to the huge pavilion, the cooling over-head fans, and the bar, where a cool one was surely waiting!!

One group of Legion Riders came in from Mulberry...170 miles...for this event…!!

THAT’S dedication!! It was my pleasure to have met Bill Moore, Post Commander, and also, Lou Napolitano, whose bike we shot for OUTLAW BIKER years ago, plus a good group from nearby 359 Legion, near Port St. John...old home week for this old boy!! Looking forward to #1’s big Car Show, and 359’s first Sat. bike day in August!! Hope to see you all there…

LEESBURG BIKEFEST….2014

  I guess, it’s just plain luck, that every year I’ve gone to Leesburg, the

weather has been fantastic, and this year was no exception, although, it was a mite warm!! ValGal and I went up for the day on Sat. April 26; couldn’t get my usual all-access arm band this year, because I don’t carry the insurance needed…(something new this year). We still had a whole town full of biker activity, and managed to collect quite a few decent images. Sad to say, (my private observation)...the event seems to be changing, as all big events do...more rules, (the insurance), some high prices on certain items, but, through it all, the Leesburg Partnership came through with a nice Media Center...air

conditioned, water, soda, snacks, places to sit and cool off...very nice...thank you!! The day-time crowd it seemed...was down a bit, over last year...not just me, I asked several people, and they agreed, but said at night, it livened up a bit...good!! Nice to see Radical Randy again, as well as Don Rogers from EASYRIDERS magazine...good friends…! All in all, it was a fun day...tiring...but fun!! Hope I can do it next year again...ride safe…

H&D ROADHOUSE

Three years ago, Harry and wife Deb acquired a bar business on Merritt Island, with the aim of turning it into a full-fledged biker bar. Well folks...I’m here to tell you, that they succeeded!! The 3 year celebration party on April 6, 2014, turned out to be a total success! Big crowd coming and going all day and night! Constant LIVE entertainment, by some of the county’s best bands, and, food...man the food was fabulous, and, plenty of it. Lots of (the usual) pretty girls strutting around, the clicking of pool balls,

the occasional roar of a big twin motorcycle, a dance-floor filled with jubilant party animals...I tell you, it was a blast!! The weather was virtually perfect as well! Harry calls the Roadhouse, Brevard County’s ONLY REAL biker bar, and by golly, I’m inclined to agree with him! One of the highlights of the day, was when Harry spoke to the whole crowd, thanking them all, patrons,

and staff alike, for helping to make this place...THE place to go for out and out...FUN!! It’s on SR 520, Merritt Island, right across from the Lincoln dealer...can’t miss it! Join me there soon...OK?
