READERS SHOWCASE ON BIKERNET–Bandit, I know you get a lot of emails so I’ll make this short. About my bike?.It’s a Softail aftermarket frame with a 180 front tire and a 200 rear. It took 4 years to build using parts from Exile Cycles and an 100 plus horsepower Evo engine. I did it all myself the paint, and fabrication of the fenders and Cat Eye dash board that houses an Autometer Monster Tach instead of the speedometer. I used a “49” Chevy truck tail light for rear lighting. That’s about it for the real one.
The 1/18th scale model was built starting with a 1/18th scale Miasto Fat Boy. I stripped it and bought the aluminum oil bag and made the exhaust pipes from aluminum tubing made the rear fender from the front fender of an Electraglide and widened it 4 scale inches. I modified wheels from a sport bike model using the spoke centers from another Harley model. I have about 100 hours in the model. I guess that’s about 4 years scaled down to 1/18th.

BIKETOBERFEST 2006– It looks like the trend of people staying and visiting other places while in Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest is continuing. Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona is expected to be a hot spot again this year as the events there continue to grow.
That also means that the bars like Broken Spoke, Iron Horse Saloon, Boot Hill Saloon and the other business on US 1 in Ormond Beach will be doing a lot of business.
Please remember that law enforcement is very heavy in this area and in past years have been known to give out a lot of tickets.
You can expect loud exhaust citations in many areas and the local visitor’s bureau is letting people know that.
Big happenings at the Daytona International Speedway with Kickstand City and Daytona Market Place. Entertainment, manufacturer demo rides, aftermarket parts and accessories and motorcycle displays.
Swap Meet action will be at Daytona Flea and Farmers Market. They will also have daily bike shows with different classes on each day.
Go South for some Fun at the Last Resort 5812 Ridgewood Ave, (US1) Port Orange. “Ol Skool” Chopper Show. This is one of the places I go.
While you are down that way the No Name Saloon always has a lot going on as does Gilly’s Pub 44. As you go to the smaller towns around the Daytona Beach area you will find numerous fun places like Softails Tavern in Crystal River, Trader Jack’s in Deland, Bikes, Blues and BBQ at the American Legion in Titusville. Also check out some of the other Legion Posts for events. Cocco Beach always has a lot going on and is a nice ride.
Orlando- big city fun, the Harley shop and biker bars have plenty to entertain you. The Warlocks MC are holding a Open House Party at 5608 4th Street in Lockhart. I have always had a good time at one of their events.
Main Street in Daytona Beach will still be Main Street but probably less crowded than in past years. There are plenty of bars like Dirty Harry’s, Bank and Blues Club, Full Moon Saloon Boot Hill and Wise Guys Watering Hole. All have entertainment and various other promotions.
This year East Side Custom Choppers will also be putting on a Bike Show in the lot next to Wise Guys. I will be starting my weekend off at the Bikers For First Amendments Rights Bar at 144 Ridgewood Ave. (US 1) in Holly Hill at 3:00 on Friday afternoon.
I will be looking to meet people and have a good time. I will start photographing there and continue to other yet to be determined places for photos for my articles. Have me take yours! You could end up on Bikernet or in one of the magazines.
What businesses and or events should I attend? Decisions, decisions, Any Suggestions?
