Now, that's a lot of LOVE. After having great holidays and a great start to the New Year, I am puzzled at Read the rest of this entry »Thunder Cam February 2012

My adventure began a little over two years ago when I walked into Jim’s Harley-Davidson to learn more about getting my endorsement. Everyone there was so very friendly and supportive that before I knew it, I was attending a Garage Party and enrolled in a Rider’s Edge class. From there, I was hooked and so began my search Read the rest of this entry »Volusia County Grub Run 2011
By Lulu
I always write about what a great bunch of people bikers are…but I never expected to have such an awesome amount of food collected on our first ever Volusia County Grub Run in December. Thanks to the collaboration of the Rue & Ziffra law firm, First Turn Steakhouse and Sports Lounge, radio time with Tracy & Frank from WHOG radio and the wonderful bikers that Read the rest of this entry »Bull’s Eye February 2012

I have lived in Highlands County for over thirty years and “YES” back then there was nothing out here but orange groves and cows. But, today we are at the “hub” of the motorcycle community. Thanks to the migration of a group of motorcycle enthusiasts from down south, Sebring has become home to one of Florida’s fastest growing motorcycle events, the “RUN TO THE HEARTLAND” which occurs the first weekend in October each year.

By far my best ride this month was out of the White Eagle and billed as a Frosty Balls Fun Run. This was a night ride and it happened to be on a night of a below freezing temp. I was amazed that so many showed up for a night of near torture. We had a great evening and when we left the club after midnight Read the rest of this entry »30th ALL ABATE Toy Run, Brevard Co, FL
By Miserable George
Sunday, Dec. 4th. dawned bright and sunny, the answer to all our prayers for the 30th ABATE Toy Run, the largest all-ABATE run in the state. Macy’s ban on motorcycle parking in front of their store, seemingly didn’t hamper the assembly of well over 5000 bikes Read the rest of this entry »
Critter Run 2011
By Miserable George
The 14th Annual Critter Run came off with a bang this year...257 riders signed in at the Brevard Co. Humane Society’s Cox Rd. shelter, many bringing donations of pet food, bedding supplies, and money to help our furry friends. It was an enjoyable ride around Brevard County, beachside, and finally ending in quaint Cocoa Village at the Dog & Bone bistro on Stone St. The band, "Rough House" was entertaining, Read the rest of this entry »In Visible Ink’s Toys for Tots

The Bell
By J Wahl
For decades the thundering roar of a Harley Davidson has instilled fear, nervousness, and an anxiety in the hearts of many people; for me it was just the opposite. As a small girl growing up, Harley Davidson was the sound of security.
With that V twin drone came the loving arms of my father, a kiss goodnight, and a snuggly bug tucking in. Read the rest of this entry »
Back in the Saddle Again

He could hardly walk any distance, but after a recent hospital visit; he has made a remarkable comeback. He purchased a Can Am Touring bike and has begun to ride. Read the rest of this entry »
