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.

If you’ve never been to Midwest Motorcycle shop, you really need to pay them a visit. 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. They are located at 444 N. Beach St., Daytona Beach. Phone is 386-257-6265 and check out their website MidwestMotorcycleDaytona.com.

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!

Andy Thompson opened Hemingway’s Wine & Cigar Bar a few years back and has turned it into a great spot in Tavares. Hemingway’s has a nice walk-in humidor and serves a wide selection of beer and wine. Outside seating on W. Ruby St. is an enjoyable perch to watch the flow of peeps coming and going. Since TJ enjoys a good cigar and I enjoy a glass of wine with friends that has always been a stop when we are in the Tavares/Leesburg area. They have been supporting Thunder Roads Magazine ever since Andy opened his doors. Now Andy has added a new endeavor to keep him busy. Legacy Cigar opened in July and is right smack in the cool part of Mt. Dora at 525 N. Donnelly St. This spot also has a walk-in humidor for your cigar shopping! I love the gated porch for outside chatting with old and new friends. The new cigar shop is closed Monday, open 10a-6p Tuesday through Thursday, Friday & Saturday 10a-8p and Sunday 10a-6p. So, while in town for Leesburg Bike Fest or anytime you are in the area check out Andy’s enterprises. He loves to hear bikes pull up!

This year the Panhead Shovelhead Show at OB’s added a new twist. The ladies participated in an over 50 Bikini Contest and it was amazing. The bevy of women were all so much fun and looked great up on stage. I wouldn’t have wanted to judge it. As usual, there were lots of beautiful old school bikes in the show and the winners, if given to me correctly, were Rich for Best Antique 1938 Indian, Tinker for Best Knuckle 1949, Rocky with the Best in Show Custom Indian, Justin had Best Panhead 1948 Indian, Jim with Best Shovelhead, and the Cap Wilson’s Choice award presented by Thunder Roads Florida went to Mikes Panhead . Hopefully, this is all correct! Thank you to Rue & Ziffra for their continued support of old motorcycles and the biker community! The band Green Tree Brothers rocked the crowd, and the staff as always was great, even though the crowd was certainly overwhelming. See you guys at the Americana Bike Show in June!!

SCHOG Inc. started out the New Year 2024 with their annual campout at Renegades on the River. The weather was not what we expected but we made the most of it with some huge bonfires and plenty of Moonshine. Each day after a huge breakfast supplied by the men in the club, we would head out on bikes to visit many of the local bars and hangouts, making stops at The Hideaway and 3 Bananas. This year there was almost as many cars as bikes participating in our daily adventures. Of course, after dinner everyone would venture off to the best tiki bar around at Renegades for some great music and dancing. A huge THANKS to Renegades once again for the best New Year’s party ever, everyone is already booked for next year.

Time flies when you’re having fun! And another year has come and gone for Mark at Pirate’s Pub in Paisley. Pirate’s Pub was bustling with bikers and the tunes of September Dogs filled the air. Mark puts out a spread of free grub to add to the festivities celebrating 18 years! This is a great ride out into the country so saddle up and visit Pirate’s Pub. They are a full liquor bar with inside and outside seating, and very friendly staff.

One of the most happening bars in the greater Daytona area is owned by a guy known by friends as “Little C”, whose father was “Big C”! Originally from Louisiana, Missouri he migrated to Florida years ago. Since growing up tinkering on cars with Big C, Charlie has spent his life building cars. In 2004, he was commissioned to build the “General Lees” for the remake of Dukes of Hazzard featuring Jessica Simpson and Johnnie Knoxville. He built over 30 of them thanks to a friend, Terry Wilcock, who subcontracted him for the builds. Charlie still has car #7 from the movie. His business, Little C’s Customs, was featured in the reality TV show South Beach Classics back in 2016. I have been witness to #7 burning rubber a time or two at his current “past time”, and latest endeavor, Sorry Charlie’s Corner. Two years ago, his partner in life for the past twenty-seven years, Amie Preston, helped him open Sorry Charlie’s, formerly Mike’s Corner, he jokingly says it was her Valentine gift! There isn’t a girl working harder to make this “gift” a success! The bar is in Samsula at 3705 Hwy 44, a great stop after Billy Lane’s races at New Smyrna Speedway.

Not only has Charlie been know for building cars. He had a bike featured in Easy Rider Magazine in August 2006. In the article, Charlie stated that he wanted the sleek bike “to be like my next girlfriend…hourglass, wide, narrow, wide.” A picture of the bike from the magazine is featured here. He has 3 bikes that he rides still in his stable a 1963 Panhead, 2016 Street Glide and a 07 Electric Glide. But as busy as the bar keeps him, I doubt he gets much time on two wheels.

His car business now is just for private builds and his son Kyler helps at the shop. He also builds other really cool stuff, like the tables from car motors inside the bar. Great improvements in the parking lot and flooring inside have happened in the past 2 years, and as a Crown Royal drinker I am hoping for a liquor license in his future. They will have full liquor on property for Bike Week 2024 thanks to the All American Club. Sorry Charlies will feature plenty of live entertainment for Bike Week, including a band where one of the members has played at Kid Rocks Bar in Nashville, a Miss Sorry Charlie Contest, and Chicken Shit Bingo. Charlie hasn’t been in the bar business before, although his grandpa and uncle owned bars when he was young. But he seems to have a keen sense of what it takes to make people happy and coming back for more. And he is great at marketing Sorry Charlie’s, even offering a free tattoo at Tropical Tattoo and 20 free beers if you get his logo tatted on your body. Over 50 peeps have taken advantage of the deal so far.

Charlie’s bar also has been a great place for hosting charity events and has helped raise funds for Wounded Vets, Veterans Foundation, Jason Raynor Foundation and loves to be a stop for poker runs. Look for a huge car show on Father’s Day 2024. Stop in and visit the great staff at Sorry Charlie’s, you won’t be SORRY!!!

Bike Week is upon us! Earlier than the past several years and I can’t believe this is my 18th Bike Week as owner of Thunder Roads Florida. Geez I was only 52 when Bull and I started, and this year I turn 70! So many amazing people have helped make this part of the story of my life a pleasure, and the magazine a success! I won’t dare name them as if I left someone out, I would be mortified. But thank you to all and to the readers and advertisers. And a special thanks to T. J., my partner… “the ship steerer and shit stirrer” that has made the magazine what it is today!

And for Bike Week if you haven’t been here there are things besides drinking that you MUST do. Ride A1A north to Flagler, stop in Hanky Panky’s on your way up, the ocean view is amazing. Take a left on 100 and hit Bunnell area bars including 1405 Saloon, Crossroads Tavern and Ike’s. They are all motorcyclists owned bars and love to see bikes pull in. Ride out to Crescent City and hit up cool joints on the water. Renegades on the River has an impressive tiki bar on the St. John’s, 3 Bananas has great food and is on the lake, The Hideaway is a really cool old bar, Gnarly Gar is a GREAT dive bar that is only open Thursday-Sundays. Drifters Riverfront in Astor is known for great food, a pretty water view and has also built a huge tiki bar that isn’t up and running yet but will be by mid spring.

In Deland you have the Deland Bike Rally Saturday the 2nd, and on the 3rd Issues in downtown Deland has a bike show and live music. OB’s is hosting their Rumble & Rally on the 3rd in Deland too, with a bike show and tattoo contest and Matt O’Ree on stage. City Limits in Deland also has live music and great food with a huge outdoor area. Brass Rail and The Inn Between are also in Deland area and are biker owned! Just outside of Deland in Paisley is the Pirate’s Pub. For a bit of a longer destination The Howlin Wolf in Melrose is a cool full liquor joint! Then, for a more southernly trek, The Alibi in Geneva will have full liquor for Bike Week, and you must get one of the famous BLTs! In Longwood and Sanford is Rhonda’s Neighborhood Bar and Shovelhead’s which are stops that love bikers.

On the way back Samsula has Sorry Charlie’s Corner which features full liquor for bike week and Cabbage Patch Bar is home of the famous coleslaw wrestling on Wednesday and Saturday. All of these stops are out of the traffic and make for ENJOYABLE day trips. Of course, the normal hubs are US 1 from Port Orange to Ormond. We have The Boat Bar with $2 domestics in Port Orange. First Turn, Mark’s Sports Pub, & Chris’ Lounge takes you up through Ormond to Iron Horse Saloon, Boot Hill Outpost, Broken Spoke, and Saints & Sinners.

Don’t forget to check out Gina that owns Chris’ new bar, The Other Place on Nova for their Wednesday Shovelhead night. Then you have the Main Street madness, and you must stop in for a world-famous Boot Hill T-shirt and a cigar at Chrome. The hub of it all is Teddy Morse’s H-D with a slew of vendors, bands, Clydesdales, bike shows, bikini contest and BIKES. Surrounding dealerships have events the whole time too including Gator HD in Leesburg, Adamec in St. Augustine and Jacksonville, Seminole in Sanford, Gator in Leesburg, and Space Coast in Palm Bay where Bishop puts on great music.

They all have lots going on to lure you in! My MUST do list is always a ride on The Loop, a night of Hairball at Broken Spoke, Chopper Time on Thursday, The Burning Bike Friday night, a night at Grandview Live and a new pair of boots at Skip’s Boot. The best boot place anywhere!!! And for a great meal Big Tuna’s on A1A in Daytona Beach. We do a ride to the country on Wednesday the 6th, all are welcome. We meet at Hideout Lounge on Derbyshire at 10ish, KSU 11. Hope to see you there!

Check out the Not to Miss List with all the bike shows, swap meets, bikini contests, coleslaw wrestling, bands, and miscellaneous events. Ride safe, make new friends and don’t forget your sunscreen!!!

Some things get better with age. Whiskey, beef, cheese, jeans, leather, boots, trees, and friendships to name a few. And it is also true of Kim Elmore and her bar in Bunnell, Ike’s Saloon. This isn’t the first Cool Joint article we have written about her bar. She opened Ike’s in 2018 as a beer and wine bar, and it is a full liquor bar now. Kim has a long history in the bar business. Moving from New Jersey in 1993 the young red head had The Hole on A1A in 1997, she has worked at many bars in town, and bartended and managed the White Eagle Lounge prior to opening Ike’s Saloon. For a time, she had a car lot before she found her way back into the bar biz. She loves motorcycling and motorcyclists. So, she has a parking lot full of bikes on any given day. I have run into Kim at rallies with her posse. She lives the lifestyle! The locals love Ike’s because she keeps local prices all year, ice cold beer and the staff knows what you drink and how you like it. Ike’s has pool tables, steel tip, darts with a tournament on Wednesday evenings. On the first Fridays of each month, they are bringing back their bike night with music and shot specials. The first Saturdays they have a parking lot party with DJ Howie. Kim loves being involved in community events and being a stop on poker runs. They have no trouble hosting large runs having fed hundreds after the 9/11 run in the past. Follow them on Facebook for their monthly events!

The weather Gods did not smile down on the day of this ride. Torrential rain was projected, luckily for the children, Jim Lynch of Revelation 1 Concepts/Bike Show Mafia had put out boxes for collection of toys earlier in the month. Those who braved the severe weather mostly showed up in cars, trucks, and jeeps. A few of us rode from Broken Spoke to Sorry Charlie’s and mostly beat the rain. Other stops were canceled due to the weather. Sherry and Justin at the Broken Spoke hosted the registration and made yummy free pancakes and hot coffee. It was awesome! Once we arrived at Sorry Charlie’s, the firepit warmed our buns, and T. J. ordered an absolutely scrumptious and HUGE pork tenderloin sandwich. I think we fed five people off of it!!! Lots of children in Volusia County had a much nicer Christmas due to the generosity of those who gave, and to sponsors such as Kory Souza Originals, Faith Customs, Newsome Law, Twisted Tea, Broken Spoke and Sorry Charlie’s. The bike show that was scheduled for the day at Sorry Charlie’s had to be cancelled due to the storm, I am sure we will see Jim Lynch putting on a show in 2024!

Each November, Jan and the staff at Gator H-D in Leesburg put on a fall rally that includes a lot full of vendors, full bars, and great live music. A new vendor was Biker Brand Coffee, ended up buying 3 bags after trying their iced coffee. Everyone loved it. Our friend, George, from Chrome Premium Cigars was busy selling his smoke. This year they had tattooists showing off their artistic talents inside the showroom. Bands at Gator are always great. This year Rock Hard, Justin Heet, REL, Torn, Rusty Wilmot and Hypersona rocked the stage for three full days of music! Sunday, they opened the event with church services to send everyone back home with good blessings. Look for the spring rally April 25-28 which coincides with Leesburg Bike Rally which is back on full steam! I heard Gator’s events may include a full-scale bikini contest, so girls, hit the gym!!
