Motorcycle Blogs: Lost, Found, ah Heck With It...

I'm not going riding today, I'm kinda on the broke side...all is well, I do have things to do here at home...you know the mundane house mouse kind of stuff that keeps our hard working men happy, our homes almost sparkly, and did I mention our men happy? I love my man...I'll do it! House mouse for a day... right after I play with the blog! (I love ya Jeff....)

I was conducting a search of my photos on this PC. It's the one that cost so much to "fix"...and I only did it so I could save my pictures. I started downloading them to Picassa. For some reason, I'm unable to use my DVD player to burn after the guy "fixed" my PC. I don't wanna go there folks... it's not worth going to jail over...

Anyway...I like these pictures of my time in Daytona with some of the crew from Accurate Engineering and some other characters you will most likely recognize. It was one of the last great times I ever had at rally...

Well here we go....
When I got there, I met up with my buddy, Rogue, from Biker Magazine...we were to catch up with a band he was promoting heavily... The Charlie Brechtel Band.

They had four rooms over at some dump hotel...which was more than me and half of the people I met that day had...so by the time it was all said and done...the four rooms were sleeping at least four people...more often there were at least six or seven sleeping every where...the band mates had the beds, the rest of us crashed where ever there was floor space...

The guys in the band were the house band for Kick Stand City... Something The Chip had cooked up for camping in the infield of Daytona Speedway... what a cool idea... great fun! This is what it looked like the first day though...empty...like a ghost town...

The band did their sound check for the day... and we all jumped on our bikes and headed out looking for trouble...well at least we found lots of great things to do!
Our bunch included Rogue, (Pictured here with a gal who came down from Milwaukee, but dang if I can remember her name right now...)

Here is Barry Wardlaw, the builder of the "World's Fastest Panhead Engine"... also the builder of the famous Outlaw 120 Panhead Engine that so many of the big named bike builders put in their bikes...

This is my dear friend BeeB....

I'm not gonna go through the list... it was too large... so here are some of the pictures that are really too cool to just sit in Picassa without being admired.

This is the Barry Wardlaw signature series Outlaw 120 Panhead....

The engine sits here...in a Covington Bike....

Mr. Covington, Bill (a member of our entourage) and Barry Wardlaw...

Two proud builders admiring the handy work of each other!

Here is an example of the genius that is Barry Wardlaw.... and yes, it cranks, runs, and will haul your ass anywhere ya wanna go... it is in a tribute bike to Indian Larry.
