Leesburg Mardi Gras Style!

Each February Micah and I load up and travel to Leesburg for one of my favorite events. Known by the biker community for their great rally in the spring, they do Mardi Gras with equal success. We ride over for the day, although the street party doesn’t get into full swing until around 7pm when the parade begins. I love the stilt walkers and the folks that dress up in the garish boas and face paint. Being from Pensacola I love Mardi Gras and have even been part of the “Crewe of the Silver Slipper” back in the day. This is a nice ride from just about anywhere in the state and although the debauchery isn’t nearly as risqué as New Orleans…it is still a fun street party!

The folks at Bar None couldn’t have picked a better way to kick off Bike Week. The day was crisp and clear. The parking lot totally packed. The Eager Beaver was rocking the deck, and the food which is always fabulous was plentiful.
Chris was showing off a sparkling diamond on her finger that I hadn’t seen yet and I have to say I am not sure which was sparkling more the diamond or the smile on her face! I know they appreciate all the regulars who make this a MUST DO each year and if you haven’t stopped in Bar None in St. Augustine you really MUST!

2nd Annual B.I.N. Run
By Miserable George
It was ‘way back in 2005 that Barry "Bear" Conaway came up with an idea to help out unfortunate bikers...it worked! The organization became known as B.I.N....or, Bikers In Need. This year, on Feb. 17, they celebrated their second anniversary with a police escorted run from Space Coast HD, north on I.95, to Wickham Park pavilion...250 plus, strong!! Awaiting the chilly riders, were vendors, three popular local live bands, ace DJ, Doc Holiday, door prizes, a 50/50, and more!! Sad to say, it’s been nearly a year that Bear passed on, but, we just knew he was watching...and smiling...at the success of his idea...his brain child...something he devoted his very life to, and now, is being managed by his wife, Ellen, (Mama Bear). Yeah, it was a chilly crowd, as I said...morning temps were in the 30's, but that didn’t stop those determined riders from coming out to support Bear’s dream! You can help too; call Mama Bear at 321-298-6046, or bikersinneed.org. A big THANK YOU to all who helped make this run and the organization a success. Mama Bear and I say...Ride safe!!!

10th Annual Gibtown Bike Week

The unusually warm winter weather this year brought out the crowds for the annual Gibtown Bike Week hosted by The Showmen’s Club of Gibsonton. There was unique entertainment that you would not normally see at other motorcycle events. That is because The Showmen’s Club membership is comprised of people who work in the outdoor amusement industry (carnivals, etc.).
The grounds were packed with vendors, live music, food and a beer garden. Ride in for the day or stay for the night as FREE camping was also available. There was a bike show on Saturday, and hot rod and custom car show on Sunday.
Sunday I got to enjoy the music of Nashville recording artist Randy McNeeley. There was also wrestling – both men’s tag team and girls. I also watched Galaxy Girl perform death defying stunts such as hand stands on her 110’ sway pole; all without a net!
There was nonstop entertainment with several other bands plus Johnny Rockets Cyber Cycle which altogether made this free event a destination for those living in the Tampa Bay area and beyond!
