Things are back to normal around Volusisa County after a semi decent Bike Week.

Hotels didn't do so well I hear, they weren't booked to capacity this year. I heard stories that folks just couldn't afford to come down due to the cost of heating oil up north and high gas prices.

Steve and aren't the type of people that like crowds so we stay away from Main Street, our out town guests did spend some time down there tho, and they had a great time.

My first day of Bike Week I spent at the Broken Spoke with Big Mike Griffin, his lady Ms. Em and the band. I really enjoyed myself, the weather was great and it was neat watching his fans interact with him.

Fun was had by all!

You don't have to look far to find some Coyote Ugly Style Dancing around here during Bike Week!

      Kickstarting his Shovelhead for the contest          

Sweetest Sounding Pipe Contest:

This Shovelhead took the win. In each contest I saw or heard about, either a Knucklehead or Shovelhead won. Nothing new with a Evolution motor.

Nice close up for you of this 60's Era Shovel

Now, click on the Youtube video below and let Big Mike play you on out of my post with some Shovelhead Blues......

 I have a lot more photos to share with you so stay tuned!
