Bikers Welcome

From “TJ”

If you are a serious motorcyclist in Florida and love the state rallies, and festivals that go with it, then you have to be excited about October. I love that we kick off the fall season with Cotee River Bike Fest in New Port Richey, Trikefest at Destination Daytona, Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach, Red Bay Thunder in Ponce Deleon, and Thunder Beach during a three week stretch.

Combined, these events draw hundreds of thousands of people. What a party in Florida! There are also many one-day rides and celebrations mixed in and coinciding with the big weekends. On Saturday, the 5th it’s Cruisin’ for St Jude starting at Amvets Post 1992 and ending at Gator Harley in Leesburg, the 2nd annual Project Noelle Ride hosted by O.B.’s in Deland benefitting victims of opioid addiction, and Long’s Log Cabin 8th anniversary in Welaka. The 30th and final Bruce Rossmeyer Ride for Children to Camp Boggy Creek is on Sunday the 6th. This charity ride has raised over 7 million dollars for the kids but sadly is coming to an end. Don’t miss the last one! Howlin’ Wolf has their Old School Bike Show in Melrose on Sun the 13th and the Boat Bar has a pre Biketoberfest Party in Port Orange the same day.

The Red Bay Thunder Rally at The Hideout in Ponce DeLeon is 21st thru 27th and it promises to be one hell of a show. Take a short ride to Panama City Beach and check out the Bike Rack on Front Beach Rd. for vendors, bike shows, live music and more. So much to do and so little time, but it’s going to be a blast. Just wait until you see what’s going on in November. Stay tuned people! Get out there and put some miles on your bikes. That’s what it’s all about. And as always, if you see us out somewhere, please come over and say hello.

See ya on the road,
T.J.
