Biketoberfest '09 Weather To Kick Butt--(the good way!)
Nineties Rule!
Bikini/Beer sales will be hot. So will the bikers. Vendors won't sell much leather at this rally. National wx service 10-day prognostication calling for highs in the eighties with isolated showers. In Dixie, that means good weather. Bring your sunblock, deodorant, bathing suit, & flipflops. Some will be tempted to cruise around town while wearing the latter two items, and one or two in this group may return home with eight or nine toes, eliminating their ability to climb trees..
Hotel or Hard Ground?
That's not going to be as tough a call as ABM first suspected..Altho we're still shopping for a roof, our armed services veteran brothers are asking why... why spend 100+ bucks a night to sleep in a giant cave when you can drop ten bucks at the local American Legion, VFW, or Vietnam Vet's, and sleep next to your bike? Some offer camping, all have reasonably priced beer, good home-cooked meals, and the ambiance that comes with hanging with real road dogs. Leave the yuppies back at the hotel canyon. One VFW in the immediate Daytona area is offering a hot shower, and a place to crash for ten bucks a night. Back to basics?
Oyster Mania!
Camping at one of several state/national forests in the area, or staying at a place w/a large fire pit? Consider purchasing a bushel (large burlap bag) of OYSTERS! Even though the water's still a balmy 80 degrees, they're fresh and salty. Throw 'em directly on hot coals, or place in a covered tin foil pan with a cup of water. An old screwdriver from your tool bag will help with the little slimies which don't open up all the way. Last Thursday, ABM purchased a bushel of these tasty little morsels for only 32 bucks, a lot cheaper than buying a dozen at a time at the local bar. Mix up a jar of Heinz Chili Sauce with an 8-ounce jar of fresh horseradish, or make up a bowl of crushed garlic, fresh lemon juice, & a stick or two of real butter, and wash it all down with a loaf of warm cuban bread. Never had a roasted oyster? What are you waiting for? Suck down a few dozen, & hug your honey! LIFE IS GOOD.
