The “Disney” of Bike Week is the huge oak covered property with the sparkling white lights. This is the prettiest biker bar in the world. And the huge crowds prove it is a favorite of those on motorcycles. Along with being beautiful, it features fire pits, free peanuts, almost daily bike shows, Jay Allen as the emcee, great bands including Hairball, vendors, lots of bars with beautiful staff both male and female! Add to that the guitar auctions that generous bidders benefit the local veterans’ association (Veteran’s Support Fund) and helped raise the $125,000 Iron Horse Saloon donated to St. Judes in April. I want to thank each and every one of the good-hearted people that make such a difference every weekend helping great causes, and in particular this bar and Iron Horse Saloon for taking these causes on. It takes work, community involvement, and lots of good humans who volunteer! During this year’s event there was Kory Souza’s No Class Bike Show, Warren Lane’s True Grit, Beats, Bags & Bass sound off, Cycle Source Custom Bike Show, Perewitz paint show, Dennis Kirk’s Amateur Bike Show, Clay Moto Vicla Show and Bad Ass Car Club Vintage Car Display. My favorite night of the week was Dave Perewitz birthday party and the sea of canary yellow shirts the Hamsters all wear. Of course, music is what keeps the crowds there late into the night, Hairball, Bobby Friss, Rachel Stacy, Cowboy, Hippies & Cowboys, Loose Lips, Buck Shot and Demun Jones were the main acts that rocked the stage.
