By the time you are reading this all
the major bike events we are heading to will be over and the summer
will be what we are riding towards. I do want to address a situation that
occurred in last month’s magazine. Jester’s Live was a concert venue
at Destination Daytona that ran an ad with us for Randy Houser, Lynyrd
Skynyrd and Phil Vassar concerts in April and May. I was informed that
they were cancelled and you can get refunds by going to Jesterslive.
com. But the main reason I am addressing this is the Phil Vassar
concert was part of the Mutt Ball a benefit for Arni. At the time we are
going to print all the details of trying to move this to The Broken Spoke
haven’t been nailed down, but plans are to move the event to the Spoke
in Ormond Beach. This is a really great event to help our furry friends.
Jared Blake, who we love, is to open for Phil Vassar and there will be
a spectacular silent auction with signed guitars, etc. For a fun night of
festivities plan on riding to the Broken Spoke May 6th, gates open at
6pm!!!
Another new weekly event out of Daytona Beach is the Sunday Run
Day, starting at 11:30am at Indian Motorcycle on N. Beach St. with KSU
at 1pm. You enter each week to win the monthly prizes that are given
away. The more often you join the ride, the better chance of winning.
This is a free event. Ending at Main Street Station in Daytona with live
music at 4pm. This is sponsored by Rue & Ziffra, law firm. Sounds like a
great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Our next Twisted Tea Party is at The Boat in Port Orange. This is a beer
and wine establishment with plenty of ice cold Twisted Tea. Our last one
was at Grandview Live and we raised the most money and food ever
for our monthly food drive!! Join us on Sunday the 21st from 3-6p and
bring some cans for the food bank to get a chance to win $50!!! FYI the
Tea Party in June will be at Charlotte’s Webb in Wauchula so fill up your
tank for that one!
And lady riders there is an event just for you on May 7th starting at
Crystal River H-D and ending at High Octane. We will be there so come
up and say hi!! Cabins are available at Scooter Haven but better call
soon.
We want to welcome our new ad clients Tilted Kilt in Ocala that has a
great bike night on the 1st Saturday of each month from 4-11p with live
music. Centered in the state anyone can ride in for this! Knucklehead’s
Tavern in Jacksonville has a bike night the 2nd Thursday of each month,
can’t wait to ride in for this one! Fast Freddie’s Bar & Grill in Yulee has a
bike night every Wednesday. And Charlotte’s Webb in Wauchula has a
great beer garden to enjoy any afternoon!
Finally, Grandview Live is having a bike show with prizes June 5th for
St. Judes!!! And one of the prizes is to be featured on the front cover
of Thunder Roads Florida so shine up your ride and enter your steel
pony!!!
Ride safe and Ride on…

9th Annual
H-D MDA Women’s Ride
Change really is
good! No one
really likes to hear
the word “change,”
but sometimes it’s
that necessary evil.
That was exactly
what happened
to the annual H-D
MDA Women’s
Ride. This once
well-supported ride
seemed to have
fallen off the radar
: Old Town HOG Chapter Ladies
for a lot of lady
riders. The Motor
Company realized that they had to make it
really special and that they did! Special for
the riders who raise monies for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association, as well as, the children and young adults who have muscular
dystrophy that joined us for this event.
In years past this had been a police-escorted
parade which took us down Main Street,
Beach Street, The Loop, etc. But in 2014
and 2015, it was more of a self-guided ride
on the back roads of Daytona and Ormond
Beach. This year it changed. We got back
our police escort at the start (the Speedway)
to Destination Daytona. It was there that
the organizers of the event from the Motor
Company, MDA, as well as long-time supporters Shelly and Mandy Rossmeyer, took
time to thank everyone and acknowledge the
fundraisers.
by
Deborah Speicher
Top fundraiser Marilyn Menendez
Mandy Rossmeyer & Karen Davidson
The ride was led by Karen Davidson, great
granddaughter of one of the Harley-Davidson founders, and we were also joined by
Harley-Davidson Motor Company employees who helped organize our day-long
event.
From Destination Daytona, we headed
off to Flagler Beach and were treated to
lunch at scenic Fuego Del Mar. It got even
better from there – we rode down A1A and
then part of the Ormond Beach Loop to the
Broken Spoke for the last leg of our journey.
We arrived at the Broken Spoke to find that
they had a private reception for all of the
participants. Goody bags, raffles featuring
$100 H-D gift cards and some really good
food ended the day as we enjoyed our time
around the fire pit.
: Chrome Divas
This year a little under $15,000 was raised
for MDA. Most monies stay local to send
children with MD to MDA Summer Camp.
Lady riders – put this one on your calendar
for next year (Tuesday during Daytona Bike
Week). Let’s do it again in 2017!

Nobodies’
Opinion
By Billy “Kneecap” Braddock
Recently, I was in the hospital and they gave me a blood transfusion. I think
it must have come from a liberal because in recovery I had some really weird
thoughts. I started to believe that Hillary was a “Lady” who would never lie or do
anything dishonest. The only reason socialism hasn’t worked anywhere before
is because people like Hillary or Bernie weren’t in charge. The people should
look to the government to provide a structure. Laws are enacted to protect every
individual for an equal society sometimes at the expense of economic freedom
if necessary. Capitalism and business creates oppression while government
creates prosperity. Just look what the government did for the American Indian.
Taxes are too low and military spending too high. After all, the military starts the
wars not the politicians. Guns in the hands of law abiding Americans are more
dangerous than nuclear bombs in Iran. The IRS employee’s tax manual has
instructions for collecting taxes after a nuclear war. Global Warming is a more
important problem then ISIS. Global temperatures are affected by SUVs and not
Mother Nature’s recurring cycles in the earth’s climate. The EPA is too weak and
needs to pass more regulations. Government regulations have created thousands of jobs just ask the Chinese. The NRA is bad because it believes in the
Constitution, and the ACLU is good because they believe homosexual parades
are protected by the Constitution, but nativity displays at Christmas are illegal.
Gender roles are artificial, but homosexuality is natural, and everyone should
love gay marriage. Our educational system is perfect when a teacher who can’t
teach reading, writing or math to 4th graders is qualified to teach them about
sex, hand out free condoms in elementary school, and explain that
the AIDS virus is spread because
of the lack in Government spending. There would be no art if it wasn’t for government spending. We shouldn’t
execute murderers but it’s ok to murder innocent unborn babies. There is a need
for more racial quotas because self-esteem is more important than earning it.
Intentions are much more important than results. Feelings are more important
than logic. Everyone should go to a liberal school, watch liberal news, vote for
liberal politicians, and only hang with liberal friends because conservatives are
homophobic, racist, evil, selfish, arrogant, condescending, argumentative, selfabsorbed, and hateful. Support free speech unless it’s politically incorrect. We
can stop global crimes against humanity by tweeting #StopGlobalCrimesAgainstHumanity.
Thank God the anesthesia finally wore off and my brain returned to its normal
conservative thinking. At first I self-identified as a cat but I couldn’t find the litter
box.
Why do they keep hospitals so cold? While I was there I was farting snowflakes.
On my way out I met a very disgruntled orderly. When I asked what the problem
was she said, “I spent $96,000 for a BA in Hispanic LGBT studies and a masters
in feminist, gender, sexuality studies and I still can’t find a job”. DA imagine that?
Always a Must for
Bike Week
by
LuLu
Everyone has a reason for choosing which venue to attend during major
bike events. Iron Horse Saloon has something for everyone. The beef
tips are most bikers’ first reason to ride in at least once during the event.
GREAT T-shirt designs each year are “a must have” reason to stop, not
only because of the creative artwork, but also because they hold up so
well! And the music lineup is always some of the best anywhere! This
year was no exception with Leon Russell, Cold Hard Cash, the Kentucky
Headhunters, Confederate Railroad, Warrant, David Allan Coe and Jared
Blake entertaining the masses, all for free!
Now that I will be going through my cancer treatment I will have more time to
write for my blog on my website nobodiesopinion.com. Check it out.
See you on the shiny side of tomorrow.

Shipwrecked on
The Boat Bar
for Bike Week
by
LuLu
A new party spot is something I am
always in search of and this year
the new spot was hanging with the
nice people at The Boat Bar in Port
Orange. What I didn’t expect was the
GREAT free BBQ they throw during
the major events!! Delicious! The live
music was awesome too! Tony puts
up tents so you can sit outside, enjoy
the food and the live band and just
relax with friends. A great pick for
getting away from the crowds of Main
Street and US 1 in Ormond. Keep an
eye on their ads in Thunder Roads for
the events they throw and ride in to
The Boat Bar in Port Orange!

Bike Week at OB’s in Deland
by
Roxanne Hodges
Well I have to say I changed up my regular routine
this year and decided to hang out in beautiful
Deland for Bike Week. I spent most of my ten days
at OB’s Restaurant and Lounge. Owners OB and
Tina welcomed everyone as if they were part of their
family. Two local bands played each day, one inside
the bar and the other outside for those that wanted
to enjoy the weather. They also had a large menu
during this time which was a nice surprise for me.
The food was awesome and if you’re ever in Deland
please stop in and say hello to OB and Tina. OB’s
also welcomes poker runs of all sorts for different
charities and they have started a weekly Bike Night.
So take a ride over and check them out and you’ll be
glad you did.

3 Days of Bikinis at
Main Street Station
Bike Week 2016!
by
LuLu
The 75th Bike Week should have brought
more of everything to Daytona! More people,
more bikes, more big name bands…Phaedra
at Main Street Station decided to make
“less is more”, less clothing on hot bodies
girls more days than ever!!! Butch emceed
the bikini contests with his usual flair. Three
days of bikini contests by sponsors that
included Sailor Jerry, Twisted Tea, Mike’s
Hard Lemonade, Jagermeister, and Bronx
Choppers. The crowds filled the front and
back lots…with men and women clamoring
to see the girls strut their stuff and to catch
the sponsors freebies! Long known for their
Wednesday night Bike Nights with $1 beer
and great music, now Main Street Station
has stepped their game up to include some
of the hottest bikini contests anywhere!
Phaedra also would like to thank Jack
Daniels and Victory Motorcycles for their
sponsorship of events during the year!

Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona
Harley-Davidson is Still
THE Destination for
by
LuLu
Bike Week!!
The 75th Bike Week in Daytona
brought huge crowds all over town,
but nothing compared to the packed
full lot at Destination Daytona. More
vendors than ever!! Bike Shows!!
Shoppers!!! Live music on the stage
in front of Saints & Sinners entertained the crowds. And the new venue
Jester’s Live brought in major live
music, bikini contests, bike shows
and more. The music line-up included
Buckcherry, Blackberry Smoke, Black
Label Society, Creedence Clearwater
Revisited, The Charlie Daniels Band
and The Marshall Tucker Band. From
all accounts the place packed them in
nightly.

Cabbage Patch
Bikes, Babes & Coleslaw!
by
Dave Twitchell
Mid-morning on the edge of where Ormond Beach meets
the roar of Daytona’s Bike Week is where I sat waking to
the breeze coming off the calm Atlantic. There were no
plans for the day and I was itching for action that wouldn’t
land me in jail or result in becoming a big red spot on
notoriously dangerous I-95. The Dyna was gassed up
awaiting dispatch, ready to inhale forced air mixed with
Octane for breakfast. After a few cups of cheap Coffee
the iPhone chimed with a text. The requested task was
covering the risqué sporting competition of Cole Slaw
Wrestling at the Cabbage Patch. That was a no-Brainer
so I grabbed the camera and twisted the grip.
For some reason it took hours to find contestants that were willing to roll around in shredded cabbage
mixed with Vegetable Oil. Once underway the crowd was in for a treat. Not only were some wrestling
ladies going to show their ‘assets’, but Cole Freeman of Ill Conduct was on hand to devastate the
transmission of his Harley on one wheel at high speeds. Highly impressive to see a young rider circling
with controlled recklessness using torque to throw rooster tails of grass, dirt and gravel. What makes
it harder to imagine is that he was riding with both a torn MCL and ACL in the same knee. A lot of
professional athletes couldn’t stand up under that injury far less man-handle into complete submission
a sportified Harley.
At the Press table were a cast of characters. William Ayscue and Frank Timberlake of Woodland,
NC had made the pilgrimage to Daytona. They’ve been close friends and riding partners for
twenty-five years. Frank told me William at 66 years old is on his last leg. After further examination I learned that William had lost his leg in 2012 when a car pulled in front of his bike resulting in
the amputation of his leg above the knee. It didn’t slow him down much as he continues to ride a
Harley trike with no fear. We’ve come a long way with prosthetics. At $33,000, William now has a
piston-actuated lower leg that is BlueTooth compatible and rotates 360 degrees at the knee. Like
the Bionic Man of the 1970’s, these are innovations we only dreamed of on TV decades ago. We
watched the oil-soaked Cabbage gals grappling for the $2,500 prize and traded stories spanning
near misses on the highway to the finer points of grilling the perfect steak. These two comrades
traded jabs back and forth until Frank elbowed me asking what William’s wife of 44 years says
when he takes off his Carbon Fiber leg at night exposing a stump…the answer from her: “You
ain’t stickin’ that in Me.” Priceless!
24
Special thanks to Ronnie and Roger at the Cabbage Patch that gave Thunder Roads Florida
inside access to the event.

Willie’s Chopper Time
at Tropical Tattoo 2016
by
LuLu
Willie’s Chopper Time is always my Bike Week
and Biketoberfest favorite day! I think it is the most
attended event in the Daytona area, and the 75th
was no exception. Even Willie could barely get
through the crowd and trying to get up close and
personal to photograph the bikes was a tad difficult as we had to shimmy between tightly packed
bikes. The music was great and included Sneaky
Tree, Big Rick and the Trouble Makers and
Jasmine Cain. The weather was just awesome.
The winner of the custom Kramer guitar was Cecil
Wallace.
Willie would like to thank everyone that helps put
this event on and a special thanks to his sponsors:
The Horse Back Street Choppers Magazine,
Twisted Tea, Biker’s Choice, Self Made Customs,
Rue & Ziffra, PA, Bare Bones Leather, Chop Docs,
Cycle Source Magazine, Led Sled, Biker’s Pocket
Guide, Bling’s Cycles, Boomer’s Bike Shop, Lucky

Guest judges included Bill Dodge, Tank, Stalker
James, Jeff Cochran, Mailman, Phil Z, Englishman, Chris Gallo, Curt Green, Spacey, Boston
Mike, Lincoln Strom, Wendall Turner, Clay, Chris
Callen, Ron Harris, Hammer, Steve Broyles, Joey

Deland Bike Rally
by
Dave Twitchell
Deland, an
inconspicuous town
in the shadow of
Daytona, hosted its
12th Annual Bike
Rally on March 5th.
The County seat
of Volusia County
sits dead center
between Disney’s
Orlando and the
debauchery of
Daytona’s Main
Street. If you’ve never been, it’s a bit more
relaxed while still offering visiting vendors, food, music
and plenty of Vintage Motorcycles drawn from around
the Nation.
There was no shortage of Animals present, spanning
exotic Dogs to well-behaved Piglets. The local Cafe’s
provided water for the Critters as the Spring heat in
Central Florida climbed towards 80 degrees. It makes
for a good entrance into Riding season when you can
attend a diverse event with all types of Riders without
the extreme noise.
Chris’ Lounge
Party Central
by
LuLu
Somehow the peep’s we were
running with during the 75th Bike
Week managed to pull their scoots
more than a time or two into the
parking lot of Chris’ Lounge. Known
for strong drinks and rowdy fun…a
hangover was almost a certainty!
But our friends from the north love
the bartenders and owners of Chris’
so we pulled up a barstool after
our work was done for the day and
knocked a few back!
Thousands of bikes were densely spread over closed
blocks of streets but it didn’t go on until the Sun came
up; Deland shuts down for a short eight hours. It’s an
inviting diversion with the feel of a Florida town that has
held onto its heritage of the early 1900’s and the legacy
of Henry Flagler’s vision for the State. Something for
everyone there; so if the madness of other rallies gets
old, find a back road curving towards Deland.

Broken Spoke
Bikes, Cars &
Music
by
LuLu
The world famous Broken Spoke
has reemerged as one of the
favorite stops for Bike Week and
Biketoberfest in the greater Daytona
area. The new owners have invested
time and money creating a biker
fantasy spot. Huge oaks provide a
canopy of shade, twinkling white
lights provide a beautiful ambiance
at night, multiple large bars keep
your wait time for quick service to a
minimum, campfires if the weather
is too cold, and live music by
fabulous bands are just a few of
the attributes that make this a
perfect spot day or night. Lots of
seating, car shows, bike shows,
free bike parking and valet
parking are just a few additional
reasons to make this a great
place to put your kickstand
down and spend a few hours
during major events.

Biff Burger
Celebrates 19 Years
by
Jim Moran
Everyone had a rockin’ good time at
Biff Burgers’ 19th Anniversary Biker
Bash on March 26th in St. Pete. A lot of
fantastic bikers and bikes were having
a great time, including me. Live music
from Stormbringer and Greg Billings,
the free Pig Roast, Bike Show and contests were smokin’.
The bike of the year was awarded and had a gambling/gaming
theme, it was AWESOME. Financial Advisor Michelle Osborne
attended and was a sweetheart. The party went on well into
the night. Congratulations to Biff Burger and here’s to another
19+ years.

Riding the West Coast
Save Your
Eyeballs
by
Pete West Coaster
I wasn’t able to get out and
deliver mags this month as I
had to have some follow-up
injections in my neck after
surgery. Thanks to Beth a.k.a.
Lulu and TJ for delivering
this month I’d like to share
a solution from the blazin’
hot and strong sun that we
experience here in Florida.
From the sun I developed
‘pinguecula’ which is a wart
like growth on your eyeball.
The treatment is surgery no
fun; and if left untreated it
can cause blindness. It’s a
recurring condition and I’ve had
3 surgeries to remove it. So I
bought a pair of “pants holders”.
They are elastic straps with
clips on both ends and
you attach ‘em to your
38
MAY 2016
pants cuffs and under your
boots to keep your pants from
ridin’ up. Well I took one and
attached it to my standard ball
cap and ran it under my chin.
Now while ridin’ my cap doesn’t
blow off and it provides shade
to my eyes, face and forehead.
Also, I can see much better
without the sun directly in my
eyes. Probably save me from
getting “crow’s feet” too as I’m
not squintin’ so much. Hope
this helps
everyone to
enjoy their
ridin’.
