Where are the weekend replacement Fl Bikers?

For some, biggest BTF ever:

One vendor said it was his best fall rally ever.

Remember we were amazed at the number of NY, PA, etc plates? Having to be back at work this morning, as they cleared, a lot of NC, KY, AL, Ga, etc plates took their place. By Sunday afternoon, you could tell things were winding down. For some odd reason, the usual Sat-Sun rush of Florida bikers didn't materialize, like, for instance, last year. Destination Daytona was almost empty yesterday afternoon.

All week, vendors selling tee shirts, long sleeves, and hoodies were shall we say, "reluctant" to lower asking prices, likely figuring that the last day or two would bring in some fresh meat. They were wrong, and this spring, they'll have a ton of tees to try and push off on us as "vintage" shirts. Don't feel sorry for them. It hasn't rained at all this month in central/north Florida. The weather was perfect for the rally, they just got a little greedy at the end. $3, anyone? Do I hear 2$?

Heartbroken from South Carolina: The poor dude, (and poor us), who dropped in to the "Bantam" fish fry (see previous blog) for a monster example of carbs stuffed with piscatorial delight. The place was.. closed, something we don't remember happening on Sunday. Maybe they ran out of fish? On the way up there, we were nearly run over on the 95 by an 18-wheeler carrying a load of..you guessed, it.. seafood. Man he sure was in a hurry to get to Daytona.

ABM is working on a week of shows dedicated to America's veterans. Soon as we sort out all of the audio, we'll attempt to bring you some pic's of BTF.

Check out this week's ABM's to find out more about how the federal government is offering police departments a nice little $350,000 grant, each, if they promise to use the fund "exclusively" to target.. yep, you guessed it, US. Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, on your local American Biker Minute affiliate, or online at twitter.com/abmrocks or facebook.com.americanbikerminute.
