During Bike Week 2019 Ricky Bongo hosted a Sportster Bike Show at First Turn Steakhouse and Lounge in Port Orange. Bobby Alexander took Best of Show with his 1996 Sportster “Lane Splitter”. Bobby and his wife Jacquelyn ae motorcycle enthusiasts of the old school style. I often saw them at Willie’s during Bike Week or Biketoberfest. Bobby is originally from Greeneville, Tennessee and resides in Ormond by the Sea now. He is a conductor with CSX Railroad. Jacquelyn is a stylist at The Veranda on Beach Street. The Alexanders have four bikes in their stable and Jacquelyn rode in on a “Johnny Cash Special” big Twin chopper. The builder of Bobby’s bike was Colin Klaybor from Jacksonville. Bobby bought the bike in 2017 from Chris McCallister who lives in Melbourne. The paint is 1967 Vespa seafoam green which I must say I haven’t seen on a bike before.

Other than collecting bikes, riding and tattoos the couple enjoys the beach, bands and their pets a 21-year-old poodle and a rescued cat. The charity they enjoy being part of is the Halifax Humane Society.

A special thank you to Staveley Coastal Customs on A1A for the use of their shop for the backdrop for the photo shoot. Taffy and Owen are great people and the shop specializes in British bikes, but they work on anything with two wheels.
