The weather could not have been more beautiful for Midwest Motorcycle’s 31st Anniversary Antique & Custom Bike Show at the Beaver Bar in Ormond Beach on Sunday, February 23rd. Heavy and Christine outdid themselves again with an awesome bike show and anniversary party, filling the venue to capacity! This bike show never disappoints and is always a great event to hook up with biker friends you haven’t seen in a while and to meet some great new folks.

The Beaver Bar served up their well-known delicious Sunday breakfast buffet. The lot was overflowing with antique and custom bikes as far as the eye could see, making the judging a difficult task, with over 25 different classes. Jared handcrafted the one-of-a-kind trophies, each as unique as the bikes in the show … and each winner picks the trophy of their choice! The servers kept the drinks flowing, the vendors were busy selling their wares or services, Professor Messer provided morning music, while Fat City band kept the party rocking all day long – this band makes you wanna get up and dance!

Be sure to stop by Midwest Motorcycle’s shop for all your motorcycle needs. Located at 444 N. Beach Street in Daytona Beach, they are a family owned and operated full service shop, whose friendly and knowledgeable staff does it all – sales, service, rentals, parts, apparel, custom builds, vintage bike restoration, welding, full machine shop, powder coating, painting … even 24 hour towing.
