Bikers Welcome

From “TJ”

What a month we had in May. 4 weeks in a row we attended rally events. Leesburg Bike Fest, Thunder Beach Rally, Myrtle Beach Bike Week, and OCC Invitational Bike Show weekend in St. Pete kept us really running hard. Many miles and hours put on the bikes and van. Last year I decided that since there isn’t much going on during the steaming hot summer months, it’s a good time to take trips to the north and enjoy other parts of the country and the nicer weather up there. I always wanted to be a snowbird. Not sure exactly what June, July, and August have in store yet, but we will definitely be doing a lot of traveling.

New England will happen and maybe the upper Midwest. Gotta get the map and calendar out and do some research. I’m starting to get old so might as well put the bikes to the test while I still can. Coming up here locally is the Americana Bike Show on Sunday June 7th so any travel will have to wait until this one is over. This is one of my favorite days of the year. When you step onto the property at O.B.’s it feels like Bike Week because it is so packed, and it goes all day. The best bike in the show and the bikini contest winner each win $1,000 cash and appear on the cover of Thunder Roads Florida (see May issue). You don’t want to miss this party. Stay tuned for the plans and as always, come up and say hi when you see us out there and get a picture taken.

See ya on the road,
T.J.
