Under the sprawling old oaks in Ormond Beach is the Broken Spoke Saloon. So far only open during the rallies in the spring and fall, but it is one hell of a great party spot. The shade offered by the huge trees makes for a nice place to hide from the sweltering heat while listening to live bands and enjoying cold beverages. After dark, the trees are lit with little white lights turning the venue into an adult wonderland. The huge stage is great for show bands and the covered large pole barn is good for rain shelter during inclement weather. The beautiful grounds provide plenty of space for bike and car shows. Lots of good looking bar staff makes your drink purchasing a bit more pleasant! Uncle Kracker filled the place on the first weekend. Then all week-long Hairball and other bands kept music in the air. The last Saturday of Bike Week the Ribbon Riders attempted to break the world record of the most women riders. The official count was hosted by Skip’s Boots on International. Although the record wasn’t broken, over six hundred bikes filled the parking lot at Skips. The after party was at Broken Spoke where Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorney treated the ladies to lunch. I would really love to see this bar open all year long!
