Well anyone who knows me knows I love Willie’s day of Bike Week or Biketoberfest the most! I love the bikes, the friends I see, the crowd, the charity and I love Willie! This event started as a bunch of bike builders meeting to ride together back in the day, their bikes started gathering a crowd and now it is THE best attended event of Bike Week! Too many photos of the winners to post here so go to Thunder Roads Florida Facebook page to view your winning bikes and lots of photos of the event. Roadside Marty of course kept things rolling.

Live music by Big Rick & the Troublemakers in the backyard was rocking the crowd who huddled under the shade of the giant oaks. Twisted Tea, Rue & Ziffra, P. A., Rock of Daytona, Cycle Source Magazine, JP Cycles, Hard Drive, Iron Horse Saloon, Grandview Live, Blings Cycle, Smoke Out, S&S, Pocket Guide, Renegade Magazine, Hardcore Cycles, Inc., Dave Perewitz, Speedkingracing, A-1 Cycles, B & D Customs, Biker’s Choice, Self Made Customs, Custom Chrome, Boomer’s Bike Shop, Led Sled, Billet Proof, Bare Bone’s, Mo’s Image Customs, Lowbrow Customs, Anvil Customs, Bikernet, and Rider Now Magazine all help bring this event to the masses so thank you guys and gals.

The charity is to assist veterans through Veterans Support Fund and there is no one on the planet who loves our vets more than Willie and the guys at Tropical Tattoo! This event is always the Thursday of Bike Week and Biketoberfest if you haven’t been, put it on your list of not to miss events! And in the meantime, if you need ink, the experts at Tropical would love to put their art on your canvas!
