It’s the beginning of August and I get a call from Larry the director of ALP 359 to mark my calendar for Sept. 22. They are going to have the official opening of the new Tiki deck and bar out back. We were there in June when it was still under construction, so time to fire up the “cement mixer” and check it out. We roll in after 2 and as usual the place is hopping, first thing I notice on my way in is the bigger dance floor and the band stage is set back making a lot more space now. The tiki was moved to the other side of the deck which is now the “riders roost”, the new bar they built is awesome, like an open barn bar it is long with lots of seating and cover from the elements.  The band Reload is blasting out great music. We hang out for 5 hours partying and watching bikes come in and out all day long. Even post member Johnny Mac got up and sang a few tunes with the band and nobody missed a beat. So, the grand opening was a success, good job to everybody that made it happen. When you are in the area remember first Saturday of the month is bike day, third Saturday is bike night. Tell them Thunder Roads Florida sent ya…
