Biketoberfest - Daytona Beach

Wednesday
Biketoberfest officially begins on Thursday, October , but there's a lotta bikes in town already. I took a ride this morning to check out what's happening. If course folks were cruising Oceanshore Blvd (Hwy A1A).

And while I was ridin' over the Granda Bridge I snapped this shot of Crunch, from Tennessee, cruisin' it ol' skool style.
I hung a right on US Hwy 1 and cruised North to the Ormond Strip to Deadwood Saloon. I hadda do a little coordinating with Ronnie, the owner, for our Biketoberfest Happy Hour party on Friday night. I ran into Missy, below, serving up a couple of customers.
And Jennifer was rounding up folks for the bikini bike wash she was doin'. She got plenty of business this fine, warm day.

After finishin' up the plannin', I rode home and picked up Boots to go to the airport to pick up her girlfriend, Pup, who was flyin' in from New Hampshire. We cruised down Main Street - no vendors allowed to open until Thursday, but there were still plenty of bikes and cages. "Welcome Biker" the banners said. But they won't even close off Main Street for bikes only!
After pickin' up Pup, it was back to the Deadwood Saloon for a couple of brewskis and hot chicks. That's Missy with Pup and Boots.And of course Boots hadda talk some junk. She's crackin' up Nicole when she talked to her about doin' a cover shoot for Dixie Biker.
We watched this guy go down while he was tryin' to negoiate the corner. We helped him right his crotch rocket and then warned him about our slippery sand after makin' sure he was okay.
This group hadda unass their bikes to get the "tourist shot" for the folks back home. It was taken in North Peninsula State Park. We were hangin' out waitin' on our Jacksonville writers and I just shot some random pictures.
We had dinner with those Jax writers - Tim and Christy - at Snack Jack's in Flagler Beach. Great chow, great time and what a way to end the day,And tomorrow is one of my all time favorite events - Willie's Ol' Skool Chopper Show. We'll post that tonight or tomorrow morning
