BIKETOBERFEST 2003– Planning on going to Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest? There are a lot of events going on around the area and as far away as 150 miles from the famous beach. Numerous guides and fliers are being published and distributed.
BIKERNET Will Be There Keeping You Informed On The Happenings.
Officially Biketoberfest is October 16th-19th 2003. In the past local business has started the weekend earlier making it a 10 day event. Last year there were problems with the city and them trying to limit the time the event ran. We are waiting to see what develops this year.
Riders are finding Lodging out of the area and Day tripping into Daytona for the event they want to see. With the ocean to the East, St Augustine to the North, Orlando to the West and Cocco Beach and Cape Canaveral to the South there are a lot of choices in between. Check the prices on a major hotel in Daytona Beach and one close by and see why. The money people save allows them to party more.
A lot of the Good Parties are Outside Daytona any way. It is nice riding weather in Florida right now and there is Always Parties Going On. Just stop in any of the Bike Shops and ask them where they go or where the action is.
I will be stopping by The Last Resort on US-1 in Port Orange which is a Biker Bar Year Round and not just when it is Bike Week. They will be hosting the Chopper Show this year also. I will let you know where else I will be when I know.
Beach Street is always interesting and US-1 in Ormond Beach where the Bars like the Iron Horse, Broken Spoke, Jackson Hole are. You just need to be careful in that area, as it is full of ticket-happy cops.
To the South is Pub 44 in New Smyrna, Cabbage Patch in Samsula, No Name Saloon in Edgewater, and the list goes on and on.
So Many Parties, So Little Time.Check Back here for more information up to and during Biketoberfest.

BAD COP–NO DOUGHNUT– DAYTONA BEACH — A detective who once was awarded a medal of valor and was honored for arresting drunken drivers is in the hot seat for her own alcohol-related arrest that earned her a DUI and a reckless driving charge.But according to state records, it’s not the first time Detective Minokah Lipps has been charged with driving under the influence.
The six-year Daytona Beach veteran was convicted of alcohol-related driving incidents at least twice before in the last 20 years — once for a DUI in 1984 and again in 1993 for driving with an open container of alcohol. She was also arrested in 1995 and convicted of unlawful speeding.
Reports show the 38-year-old Lipps, a street-crimes investigator who was hired by Daytona Beach in 1997, twice refused to take a field sobriety test when she was arrested by Ormond Beach officers on Sept. 14 after a car crash.
Her refusal to take the sobriety tests earned Lipps an automatic one-year suspension of her driver’s license. She faces arraignment on Oct. 15 in Volusia County court.
Ormond Beach police Sgt. Kenny Hayes said Lipps’ license was seized at the scene of the crash at the intersection of Rockefeller and Riverside drives.
According to the incident report, Lipps also denied she was driving her 1999 Jeep when it slammed into the 1996 Ford driven by William Hughes of Daytona Beach. Hughes was pinned inside his car for several minutes and was treated at the scene by EVAC. He refused to go to the hospital.
The report indicates Lipps told arresting officer Tom Larsen that her car was being driven by a man named “Kevin” that she and her passenger had met hours earlier at an Ormond-by-the-Sea bar. But a witness to the wreck told police that when he approached the detective’s vehicle to see if Lipps was hurt, just moments after the crash, Lipps was sitting in the driver’s seat.

She returned to Kabul recently and observed that the men now walkedseveral paces behind their wives.
Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and said,”This is marvelous. Can you tell the free world just what enabledwomen to achieve this reversal of roles?”
“Land mines,” said the woman.

TECH QUESTION–Seeing your doing all this work on your Amazing Shrunken FXR, I have a question? My 1983 FXRT has a one piece “front brake line from the hand brake down to the dual disk brakes”. The damn thing broke and Harley don’t have any in stock, and they’re not making any more. Custom Chrome has parts to build a set up, but prices are high. What do you suggest?

Go on line to Goodrich brake lines or Barnett Tool. They both make lines and fittings. Maybe the brothers have another suggestion. Watch for the next Shrunken FXR tech. Maybe on site later today.–Bandit

THAT’S IT, RUN FOR THE BORDER–Life is nuts, but let’s rock. Watch for new material to rock the site daily, if I can stay awake or don’t weld my fingers together. We shot a one of a kind 1930 Peashooter in the hills of Sierra Madre the other day. Watch for it in American Iron.
