The Rain Went Away And The Bikers Come OUT TO PLAY
The murky weather, the harbinger to the festive week finally drifted out to sea as if the grim reaper chased off the coast by the Angels to be. The eastern sky finally opened its blue brightness to warm the sand and streets of Daytona and allow Bike Week and the Bikers to take advantage of the brilliant sun and hall-ass around the area visiting all the party spots.
The Cabbage Patch launched its coleslaw wrestling, while right down the road Bikers Paradise opened the doors for spaghetti wrestling and a Wet T-Shirt contest. Because both of these places are in the county they do not fall under the same rules as does downtown.
As the Bikers realized the freedom beyond the city limits, more and more of them are spending time and their money in the surrounding areas. Do a little checking and you will find the place that offers the entertainment you are looking for.
I asked the promoters at Bikers Paradise how they were allowed to have a wet t-shirt contest when flashing down-town cost a beautiful broad $160.00. They said first they were in the county and second it was a private party. Made a lot of sense to me.
Today?s Report will be short, as I want to get back to THE PARTY!
Enjoy the pictures and if you see me have me take your picture
— ROGUE
DAYTONA BEACH — Two adult dance clubs that feature nude entertainment won another victory in a long-running legal battle with the city over adult entertainment. The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals refused this week to lift a federal judge’s order allowing Molly Brown’s II and the Pink Pony to feature nude dancers.
The owners of Molly Brown’s II on Seabreeze Boulevard and the Pink Pony on Ridgewood Avenue contend in the lawsuit that nude dancing is constitutionally protected free speech that cannot be prohibited. Zoning rules in the city, club officials argue, are so restrictive that no adult businesses with nude entertainment can open.
The lawsuit was originally filed in March 2001 after a spate of arrests at local clubs charging that dancers were wearing costumes that were too skimpy. City rules require dancers to wear costumes that cover one-third of the buttocks and one-quarter of a women’s breast in clubs that sell alcohol.
Bike Week is many things: a street party, a de facto strip show, a chance for otherwise polite people to make a lot of unneeded noise with their expensive machines. But what about a military reunion? Look closely at the black-clad bikers riding along Main Street and U.S. 1 and you’ll see the signs of previous service: patches, caps and pins with the names of divisions and ships, or little flags with “POW” or “MIA” written across them. Or go to the New Smyrna Speedway to see the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall, a replica of the monument in Washington, D.C. Even on a chilly, rainy day, bikers — many of them Vietnam War veterans — could be found there, looking for names of buddies and relatives.
