Biketoberfest 2012 more like Spring Bike Week:
Politicians see unique opportunity to court the bikers.
Blowout crowd for Biketoberfest's Friday. Spring bike week brings three times more bikers than it's little fall brother. Yesterday afternoon, the roads around Daytona were filled with motorcycles, more like March than October. Who or what is responsible for the best Biketoberfest in years? ABM's intrepid reporter, "Sandy" feeds back on interviewing far more northern state bikers for what is usually a southern state rally, could it be the cold up north weather? Maybe our homes stopped losing value. Perhaps it was the arrival of presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who spoke from the bandshell on Daytona Beach, at 8pm, to a crowd of thousands, who waited in line to be screened by secret service agents. I'll tell you right now, he looked appreciative, happy to be there. VP Joe Biden will be in nearby Saint Augustine for a democratic rally today.
The Buffalo Chip Campground at Sturgis hosted then candidate John McCain, and we reported how secret service agents stood out like a wart on a super model. Daytona was no exception. On the ride into town from camp, for instance, here's a dude riding a brand new V-Rod, wearing brand new black leather fringed chaps, new black leather vest, with no shirt. He just looked out of place, just like the SS at Sturgis. Non bikers would give these guys a pass, but the bikers can spot a poser in a New York minute.This year, the no-tell, plenty of smell hotels have room, while the Hilton is packed. As we all know, SS agents don't book one stars, so the beach bed guys had a spring bike week. Today and tomorrow, the working people of Florida will pour in, can't wait to see today's action, it will be big, big time.

Scary, fer shur!
Lowwww Tide..
Cafe' Racer

What the...???
The Three's Company Bike?
Or, just two?
And the winner (in our humble opinion) is..
Boot Hill Saloon:
Mission: To sell as many cases of beer as possible, currently about 100 per rally day, but how did it get it's name?
View from the front looking across Main Street:
See what's on the other side?
Boo!
Imagine, partying on, long after you kick the bucket!
We're looking into a ten foot plot where your faithful servant would be buried while sitting atop the black chop..(kidding).
Dirty Harry's or Filthy Freddies?
Maybe it was the $3 Jagers. Perhaps the girls had been drinking at the kampground. Maybe they're just having fun. ABM got the call to hurry over to Dirty's for a sight to be seen. 7 Girls on stage, most in their 20's-30's, with one red headed slightly pudgy lady obviously in her 60's. All the girls wore white, wet tee shirts and panties, leaving little or nothing to the imagination, if you catch our drift. Winner by applause, turned out to be a tie between the social security lady (crowd fave) and a tall, well endowed brunette. Yeah, I got videos, way too "Dirty" for this blog. Look for them on my new website.
Race fans, we dearly depart for now, in order to enjoy all life has to offer with our "peeps". Make plans to join us again in Daytona for Spring Bike Week!
