Shifting this annual event by a week due to rainstorms was a great call – as the weather couldn’t have been more glorious! Midwest Motorcycle’s 30th Anniversary Antique & Custom Bike Show on February 25th started out a little chilly for riders, but quickly turned into a beautiful warm, sunny day. Once again, Heavy and Christine threw an amazing bike show and anniversary party, filling the Beaver Bar to capacity!

Leslye, owner of the Beaver Bar, served up the usual delicious Sunday breakfast buffet. The lot filled up pretty quickly with a myriad of antique and custom bikes to make the judging difficult, with over twenty-five different classes. The amazing trophies were handcrafted by Jared – each one as unique as the bikes in the show … and each winner was able to pick the trophy of their choice! The servers kept the drinks flowing, vendors were busy selling their wares, while Judi Behave entertained the crowd all day long with their intense classic rock music and powerhouse vocals.

Located on Beach Street in Daytona, they are a full service shop whose friendly staff does it all – sales, service, rentals, parts, custom builds, welding, full machine shop, powder coating, painting … even 24-hour towing.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to help Midwest Motorcycle celebrate their milestone 30th anniversary. To quote Heavy, this year’s event was “epic.” Midwest’s bike show takes place every February – be sure to come join the fun next year … and tell them Thunder Roads Florida sent ya!
