Everyone who knows anything about motorcycle bike shows has been to Chopper Time at Tropical Tattoo for Daytona Bike Week in the spring, and Biketoberfest in the fall. Sometimes you can barely squeeze between the bikes to get a photo, and it is almost impossible to find someone in the crowd! 2025 spring event was that situation on steroids! PACKED like sardines! The band, Fat Cactus, was playing in a packed yard. Mike Jones and his posse spent the day helping to raise funds with his gun raffle for the Veteran’s Coalition that Willie helps support with the beer and alcohol profits, including the bartenders’ tips!!! Following is an article that one of our ad clients and one of Chopper Time’s sponsors wrote about Willie and what an amazing man he is! This year the sponsors included Rue & Ziffra law firm, Twisted Tea, Cycle Source Magazine, I Love BadVentures, Only Choppers, Morris Magneto, Hogridin, Spectro Oil, S & S, OB’s, Hardcore Cycles, Broken Spoke, Bling Cycles, Joker Cycle Works, EMC Shocks, A OK Guns, Dustin’s BBQ, Veteran’s Support Fund, Jessica Macy, Rider Now, Realty Pros, Iron Horse Saloon, Renegade Cycles, Guerrilla Fabrication, FNA, A1 Cycles, and Cochise Chops. Thanks to all who help make this an amazing day of bikes, booze, tattoos and helping our local veterans! Photos of the day and all the winners pics are on Thunder Roads Florida Facebook, please like and share!!
