Hello Rebel Rider Magazine Readers, the
month of October is here, our state takes on a
different feeling while days get shorter and
the evening air changes the way we do
things. It is time to pack a long sleeve shirt ,
sweater, a light jacket…nothing beats this
time of the year in Florida! The sounds of
freedom are heard nearly all day long as riders tend to hit the roads a lot more. Along
with that comes visitors from up north so beware and pay a whole lot more attention to
your surroundings.
This month the party starts at Seminole
Harley-Davidson from October 11-13 as they
bring Sanford Bikefest back to the dealership.
The party continues at Seminole Harley from
October 17-20. See pages 28 and 29 which
list their schedule of events. Hogtoberfest at
Orlando Harley-Davidson is from October 1820 please see page 2 for more information.
The Legendary Boot Hill really has it going on
this year with all day and night events taking
place, see page 19 for more information.
Harley-Davidson of Crystal River is celebrating
their 13th Anniversary on October 19-20. If
you’re here visiting and looking for a great
ride, see page 12. If your dying to get away
from all the pushing and shoving going on The
Black Water Inn will not only give you a great
ride out of town, but it will allow you to kick
back and relax the ole fashion Florida way,
see page 21. Another great location is the Fox
Head Lounge see page 43, a trip to Biketoberfest is not complete unless you have made
the ride over to this old biker hang-out.
There are a whole lot more events taking
place in October other then Biketoberfest.
Take your time...pick and choose, most of all
ride and have fun.

Gator Harley-Davidson’s 2nd Annual Chili
Cook-Off
Prefect weather and lot’s of Chili to taste made
of all kinds of concoctions is the best way to put
this years Chili Cook-Off at Gator HarleyDavidson. The event benefited the Professional
Fire Fighters of Lake County Charities. There was
great entertainment under the band shelter,
plenty of vendors and lots of people. The parking
lot was full of bikes coming and going all day
long, the event also draws a lot of four wheelers
where there is also plenty of parking. FREE BEER
anyone...it kept flowing all day long, they never
ran out. The Fire Fighters were grillin hamburgers, brats and dogs...it simply could not get any
better. More pictures on page 11. Hark

CARTER, TY M.
Rank: Specialist
Organization: U.S. Army
Company: B Troop, 3d Squadron
Division: 61st Cavalry Regiment
Born: January 25, 1980, Spokane, WA
Departed: No
Entered Service At: Antioch, CA
Date of Issue: 08/26/2013
Place / Date: Oct, 3, 2009, Outpost Keating, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan
Citation Medal Of Honor
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:Specialist Ty M. Carter distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a Scout
with Bravo Troop, 3d Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, during combat operations
against an armed enemy in Kamdesh District, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan on October 3, 2009. On that morning, Specialist Carter
and his comrades awakened to an attack of an estimated 300 enemy fighters occupying the high ground on all four sides of Combat
Outpost Keating, employing concentrated fire from recoilless rifles, rocket propelled grenades, anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars
and small arms fire. Specialist Carter reinforced a forward battle position, ran twice through a 100 meter gauntlet of enemy fire to
resupply ammunition and voluntarily remained there to defend the isolated position. Armed with only an M4 carbine rifle, Specialist
Carter placed accurate, deadly fire on the enemy, beating back the assault force and preventing the position from being overrun, over
the course of several hours. With complete disregard for his own safety and in spite of his own wounds, he ran through a hail of enemy rocket propelled grenade and machine gun fire to rescue a critically wounded comrade who had been pinned down in an exposed position. Specialist Carter rendered life extending first aid and carried the Soldier to cover. On his own initiative, Specialist
Carter again maneuvered through enemy fire to check on a fallen Soldier and recovered the squad's radio, which allowed them to
coordinate their evacuation with fellow Soldiers. With teammates providing covering fire, Specialist Carter assisted in moving the
wounded Soldier 100 meters through withering enemy fire to the aid station and before returning to the fight. Specialist Carter's heroic actions and tactical skill were critical to the defense of Combat Outpost Keating, preventing the enemy from capturing the position and saving the lives of his fellow Soldiers. Specialist Ty M. Carter's extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond
the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, Bravo Troop, 3d
Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division and the United States Army

THUNDER MUSIC PARK BIKE FEST 2013
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!! That’s how it was just about
the whole week-end, but Saturday proved to be
a much better day because for the biggest part
of the day we were without rain. I spent all of
my time at TMP and never made it to Starke for
their bike fest; I was having too much fun to
leave. Mike and his staff did a great job putting
this together. HD of Gainesville brought a trailer
load of the new 2014 Harleys along with the
Strip Club Chopper crew and some of their awesome rides. All the vendors were great and I got
to see many old friends that I haven’t seen in a
long time. This is a great event so be sure to go
next year, it will probably be even better
Rebel Rider Duke
To add to Dukes article Push and I did make it to
Starke, the rain was steady the whole time we
spent our time talking with vendors and some of
the bikers that were Hard Core. Many large
groups hung out at a very nice place called
Down Town Grill. The whole entire staff was first
class. This is certainly a place you want to put on
your Get Out And Ride List. Push is a Hot Wing
Connoisseur, she told me the wings she eat
ranked right up there with some of the best.
Down Town Grill is heavy into supporting veterans including a lot of Vet Discounts...if you’re a
vet you certainly want to take the time to meet
the wonderful owners...they have all kinds of
veteran memorvillia hanging in the business.

Sidelines Kicks Off Bike Night
Sidelines in Mt. Dora has started a Bike Night. As
I write this article they have had two so far advertised only on Pam * Phil’s and my Face Book.
Turn out has been really good, I expect this Bike
Night to become the largest in Lake County in no
time. Sidelines has a lot to offer with an outdoor
deck, indoor seating with a whole lot of flat
screen TV’s, good beverage specials, great
grilled wings, awesome pizza's with other daily
specials on the menu. Pam * Phil do a great job
running the Bike Night providing beautiful
awards for the Bike Show. Corn Hole boards are
set up for those who want a little added fun, service is always good, lots of parking for bikes,
and if it rains you can always take your four
wheeler and still hang out with friends.
Riders are showing up from all over the Central
Florida area. Rebel Rider Magazine will be covering this event as much as we can...so show
up...you never know when your picture might be
taken next.

Eatin Buzzard Beach Chili
If you showed up at Gator Harley-Davidson’s
Chili Cook-Off in September you would have
seen Buzzard Beach as a part of the event with a
very special Chili. I am not sure what Jack,
owner of Buzzard Beach, Chili was called but it
was simply awesome. While tasting other chili’s I
gave Jacks a try...I noticed it had jalapeño's that
had been cooked down for some time. No Doubt
this chili was fabulous. Not sure who won the
contest...but Buzzard Beach got my vote.
One time I asked Jack…how do you get so lucky
to hire such pretty girls...Jacks reply was they
come to me. When you go to Buzzard Beach you
will see what I mean. Not only is the food some
of the best you will eat in Florida but the service
is always second to none.

October is Breast Cancer Month
Let’s all remember the victims of breast
cancer this month. Many of my friends
have asked why they hardly ever see me
with my wife so here’s her picture of her
and her 2006 1200 Sportster. Her name is
Jan, she is a mail carrier in the city of
Gainesville and works on Saturdays when
most bike events are held and that’s why
you never see her. She is also a breast
cancer survivor celebrating 9 years of being cancer free; she is also my very best
friend. I love you honey.

Out and About with Cowboy Dean
The Great Suwannee River Clean Up took place
at the boat ramp in Branford FL on Saturday the
21st. 20 volunteers participated in cleaning up .
We worked from ½ mile north of the bridge back
to the boat ramp on both sides of the river. It
was amazing the amount of garbage we found
floating and along the shoreline. 449 lbs. of
trash including one semi-trailer tire, its tube, a
car tire, 2 - 55 gal drums and massive amounts
of plastic and aluminum was removed in about 3
short hours. This was my first experience volunteering for a river clean up and was amazed at
the amount of trash people throw out into the
water. One of the volunteers is this month’s National Geographic article called the Bahamas
Blue Holes. Like biking, boating is pleasurable
but all the trash distracts from enjoying the
natural beauty of the bi-ways and water ways.
October 5th will be another clean up on Newnan’s
Lake in Gainesville. It will be at Palms Point at
9:00 am. P.S. They feed us great hamburgers
and sausages with all the trimmings.

Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Company Announces Project Rushmore
In addition to the CVO Road King and CVO limited touring bikes, a new CVO Softail Deluxe
model joins the CVO Breakout Softail Chopper in
the Custom Vehicle Operations lineup. The
Street Bob and Super Glide Dyna models both
return with minor enhancements, including standard fitment of the Twin Cam 103 powertrain,
and the Softail lineup repeats with six variations,
including the popular mid-year breakout addition.
With all the excitement of the upcoming and
over by now 110th Anniversary of HarleyDavidson it was almost possible to miss the
really big news from the Motor Company. The
2014 Harley-Davidson lineup has been announced, eight of the new bikes benefit from an
initiative that has been named “Project Rushmore.”
Project Rushmore is the largest scale now model
launch in Harley-Davidson’s One Hundred And
Ten year history. The new bikes will feature improved braking performance, enhanced rider ergonomics, and dramatic styling updates that
completely redefine and fundamentally transform the touring motorcyclist’s experience according to the Harley-Davidson Motor Company.
Project Rushmore enhancements show up in four
categories...Control, Infotainment, Feel and
Style. The eight new bikes for 2014 are Road
King, Street Glide, Street Glide Special, Electra
Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited, Tri Glide Ultra,
CVO Ultra Limited and the CVO Road King.
2014 CVO Breakout
The big news is the Twin Cooled High Output
Twin Cam engine, this is called the next generation of the Harley-Davidson powerplant. This is
the long-rumored liquid cooled Harley engine,
finally implemented in a production motorcycle.
There’s a 103 cubic inch version that will initially
appear in the Electra Glide Ultra Limited and Tri
Glide Ultra.
A new Reflex linked antilock braking system
{ABS} is standard on the new bikes, along with
Daymaker LED and dual halogen lighting. Infotainment has been upgraded to include a new
color screen system with voice recognition. Aerodynamics and ergonomics have been improved,
including a new batwing fairing with splitstream
venting. And style has been updated-but each
new bike is still very recognizably a HarleyDavidson, through and through.
2014 CVO Limited
Additional enhancements in the lineup include
restyling of the Fat Bob, now incorporating the
popular Dark Custom elements which replace
shiny chrome with mean, blacked-out finish’s. All
2014 Sportsters can be ordered with ABS for the
first time, along with an available keyless,
hands-free security system. ABS is standard on
all V-Rod models.

What a month!
Rooster was traveling down St Rd. 41 in the
early morning headed to work when a car pulled
out in front of him. He was doing the speed limit
(60 mph), around 8 am on his way to work! She
admitted at the scene she was in a hurry and
NOT paying attention, he collided with her car.
As of writing this he was still in the hospital, with
multiple injuries. Two years ago my ex and I
were involved in a similar collision, we were
traveling a 30 mph road when a SUV ran the
stop sign, we did not have time to stop, the
driver had FL minimum ins. and our own insurance was not enough to cover mounting medical
bills. PLEASE, PLEASE, LOOK TWICE. Nothing is
so important as paying attention when behind
the wheel, put the phone down, turn down the
radio, etc. This is happening way too often for
me, every week I hear of another BIKER DOWN,
some survive, some don't. Even with proper insurance the medical bills can add up, families
are losing members, this is avoidable if we'd all
look twice (maybe even 3 times), it really can
save a life! Please, brothers & sisters, while on
the roadways, remember: that person on the
bike may be your brother, sister, mother, father,
son or daughter!! Let's all ride safe with eyes &
ears wide open. See you in the Wind with Big
Grins, Robyn
I was going to focus on Breast Cancer Awareness this issue and would like to give a shout out
to many brave survivors like Cheyenne (bar
manager at Willard's in Morriston) who is 7+ yrs
in remission, Patty who is 10+ yrs in remission,
Duke's wife (our own Rebel Rider rep's 'better
half' who has many years in remission, and all
the programs (michelle-o-gram: free or reduced
cost mammograms in honor of a great woman
who lost her battle) to help raise awareness of
this deadly disease that takes too many lives
each year. Harley Davidson of Crystal River will
have a run Oct. 5, please get out & support this
worthy cause. Please, ladies (& gentlemen-yes,
men can get it, too) check yourself regularly, see
your doctor for an exam, take advantage of the
free or reduced cost in October.
Another incident has drawn my attention, again.
Renee Giles & her hubby were involved in a cage
vs. bike collision not too long ago, Heads and
Tails Lounge in Floral City hosted a benefit run
for her to help offset the high medical bills they
are now facing. Renee was not able to ride her
benefit run, but did show for a brief moment at
the end. Just behind this event, another friend
was involved in another "cage vs. bike" crash.

RIDING SOB
Boot Hill Saloon, on Main Street, in the heart of
Daytona Beach; and O.B.s, Restaurant and
Lounge, just north of beautiful downtown DeLand, to the Rebel Rider family of advertisers.
Stop on in for a cold one during Biketoberfest…..
Plan ahead for the 12th Annual Ocoee Founders
Day Poker Run on Saturday, November 2nd. Registration starts at 9:30 at The Sandwich Shop on
Clark Rd. and the run ends at “The Bar”, also on
Clark Rd. The poker run benefit’s the Ocoee Police Department’s Holiday Toys for Kids in Need
fund….. Have ya had enough yet? I know I have.
Time to hit the back roads, the bars, you know all that good stuff. See ya next month!
Biketoberfest! Octoberfest! Rocktoberfest! I ask
you, is there any month more festive than October? Time to party!….. Hey, if you’re looking for
a great place to camp during Biketoberfest, head
on up to Thunder Gulch in Bunnell. They’ve cut
their rates this year and they have the Black
Cloud Saloon right there on site! What more
could you ask for? Go to www.theblackcloud.biz
and check ‘em out….. So the 9th Annual Sanford
Bikefest “Thunder in the Streets”, scheduled for
October 10-13, has been cancelled due to a lack
of sponsorship. Wait, no - now it hasn’t been
cancelled - it’s been changed into something
more community inclusive called “Celebrate Sanford”. But they still want us bikers to come - so
there are some bike events on the west side of
town on Friday, and there will be a bike show,
and bike stuff, and bike parking on Saturday,
and - I don’t really know what it is. You can go
to www.celebratesanford.com and try to figure it
out for yourself. I do know that they have The
Outlaws playing in Fort Mellon Park on Saturday,
October12th, at 8:00 and they’re still going to
have beer so that’s good enough for me….. I’d
like to take a minute to welcome the legendary

out of town. No great scenic journeys, but there is
some stuff to see. You’re going to want to do “The
Loop” at least once. You can head up and down the
coast - there are some places where you can actually
see the water.. And if your looking for some hills, or
at least something that passes for a hill here in Florida, you’re going to have to head north or west over
towards Lake County.
BIKETOBERFEST FOR DUMMIES
No - I’m not calling anybody a dummy. This is just
kind of a starter guide for anyone that has never been
to Daytona. And no, I’m not claiming to be an expert,
these are just some of my observations through the
years - I have been to every Biketoberfest and Bike
Week since ‘96. And no, it won’t have all the answers
- I’m sure I’ll miss lots and lots of things. But hey,
maybe it’ll be a little help.
Biketoberfest is pretty spread out now too. You can
head off in just about any direction and make a day of
it. Ride north on US 1 past Ormond and you’ll hit the
White Eagle, go on into Bunnell and hit the Dog Pound
or Black Cloud. Or if you’re really hungry, there’s a
little stand called the Bantam Chef where you can
great, big-ass fish sandwich (stop at the Flagler Bar
for a cheap drink and the Bantam Chef will deliver the
sandwich right to your bar stool!).
So what is Biketoberfest? It’s kind of like Bike Week’s
little brother, same family, only a little smaller. Same
places, same attitude, just a little less crowded.
Where Bike Week kinda formed on it’s own around the
Daytona bike races over 70 years ago, Biketoberfest
was created by the Convention and Visitor Bureau just
over 20 years ago to fill in a slow time in the tourist
season. Hey, if the bikers come and spend lots of
money in the spring, let’s bring ‘em back in the fall
and they’ll bring more money!
Southbound will take you down past The Last Resort
and the No Name Saloon. If you’re looking for some
real Florida seafood you just can’t beat JB’s Fishcamp
on A1A in New Smyrna Beach, and you’re going to
want to stop in at the Old Dixie Pub in Mims for a cold
one before you make your way back to Daytona.
So where do you start? Gotta be Main Street. I know
everybody complains about Main Street - the traffic
sucks, nowhere to park, the cops won’t let you have
fun (keep the drinks in the confined areas, don‘t dare
flash anyone, and God help you if you do a burnout),
too crowded, too expensive. But what can you say,
Main Street is ground zero for Biketoberfest. Party
central - Froggy’s, Dirty Harry’s, Main Street Station,
the legendary Boot Hill Saloon. Hell, if you look up
biker bar in the dictionary you’ll find a picture of the
Boot Hill Saloon. Can’t really say you’ve been to Biketoberfest if you don’t make it to Main Street.
Another day trip is southwest over to Seminole H-D
and on into Orlando H-D. The dealerships have always
got a lot going on for Biketoberfest, and hey you can
always use another Harley t-shirt. If you take SR 415
over, you can stop in at the Cabbage Patch for the
world famous coleslaw wrestling (not to ruin it but the
girls that wrestle don’t look much like the girls on the
t-shirt), and then hit the Foxhead Lounge for one of
Loretta’s famous bloody Mary's. OB’s in Deland on 17
is another fun place to go!
Next up is north on US1 to the Ormond Beach area.
Iron Horse Saloon, Broken Spoke, Beaver Bar - another big party area - and the best chance to catch
some bigger name bands. You’re not going to find any
Sturgis caliber bands at Biketoberfest, but up in this
area you’ve got a better chance of seeing somebody
you’ve heard of. You’ve also got the Wally World of
Harley dealerships up here - Destination Daytona. Not
to be missed - the steak tips out back at Iron Horse
and living legend David Allan Coe. David Allan Coe
always does several shows at the Iron Horse and you
sure want to catch him if you can..
There’s still lots more to see and do, but I’ve run out
of time and space here. Hope this bit of info helps. I
know sometimes it might seem like some of the residents and the police don’t so much “welcome” us as
they do “put up” with us, but just remember to ride
safe and keep it cool and you’ll have a great time. And
then you can come back again next year and do it all
over again!

If you want to do something other than drink, head on
over to the speedway. There will be races and just
about every bike company and aftermarket manufacturer you can think of will be set up there. You can
test ride almost any bike made, all at one location.
All kinds of stuff going on up and down A1A, US 1 and
Beach Street. Lots of dealers and vendors on Beach
Street, all centered around Riverfront Park and the old
Daytona H-D, which is now a museum/store. Not to
miss on US 1 is Tropical Tattoo’s Old School Bike
Show on Thursday. Get there early ’cause there will
be a crowd.
If you want to get in some riding, you’ve gotta head

Kirbside Pub Kicking Butt
I am going to go on the record and say the turn
out for Kirbside’s monthly FREE BBQ in September set a record for attendance and they still had
enough food to go around for everyone. I personally waited until the last person went through
the line and filled my plate with as much as I
wanted. You have to put Kirbside on your scheduled ride for the second Saturday of the
month...Hark

Rippin’ and Running with Doc

Hey ya’ll well all I’ve gotta say is thank God
summers over and we can get back to enjoying
our riding without melting us and our scoots.
Again I went out to Kirbside on Plymouth Sorrento road for there Monthly Bash they have on
every second Saturday which is getting bigger
and bigger each month but why shouldn’t it
combined with great entertainment good people
and free grub what’s not to like. Also the Club
Fallen Few were hosting a benefit for Saint
Jude’s Children’s Hospital so it was definitely the
place to be. But earlier that day I was up in
Leesburg at Gator Harley-Davidson for theirSecond Annual Chili Cook off and let me tell you
it’s getting bigger and better each time and the
band Shaky Pudding were there tearin’ it up as
they always do .
Well I also got an unexpected treat when my
good friend Eddy asked me to drive David Lee’s
(owner of The World Famous Irene’s in Tavares)
tour bus tour to Tampa to see Kid Rock and ZZTop so of course my natural response to such a
question was “Hell Yeah”. And to top it off the
bus was full of the Barmaids from the Oasis Saloon in Sorrento lets just say a Freakin’ incredible time was had by one and all!!! Also Sidelines
Sports Bar in Mt. Dora has started up a bike
night on Mondays now with The Great Bikenight
Pam Hosting come on out and check it out So
fall is here and that means so many things are
coming up like a li’l get together I like to call
Biketoberfest and Roscoe’s Chili Cook off which I
say hands down is still the best damn party I’ve
been to in well over thirty years. There’s also the
