When we were making our plans for this year Daytona bike week one of the
highlights was an eight hundred mile bike ride from or friends Ricky
Kelley's dealership, Harley-Davidson of Columbia Tennessee to our Strip
Club Choppers Roadhouse at the Hang Dawg saloon vending area. The trip
started off on a grey day with temperatures only topping twenty-eight
degrees, yes twenty-eight degrees. Joining the ride were Beanner, Sasha
Mullens Country super star James Otto, Cory Gearman, James' manager
Lonny Spiva fro Heartland USA, Bruce and Mark Martin from American
Custom and Cory Ness. On the first leg to Atlanta the temperatures
hovered around thirty degrees but that night all felt a sense of
accomplishment and we retired early, three hundred miles in the freezing
cold takes a bit of energy out of you. The next morning we woke to four
inches of snow in blizzard like conditions. Yes we saddled up and rode
another two hundred miles. Props to Sasha Mullens for riding her chopped
Sportser with all of us on baggers and staying in front of the pack, at
5'2" Sasha is power house on two wheels.
The final leg of the ride was from Derek Kelley's Harley-Davidson of
Ocala dealership where approximately fifty others riders joined in for
the chilly ride to the Strip Club Choppers Roadhouse. The entire ride
was filmed for */Two Wheel Thunder/* on the Discovery Channel's HD
Theater. The glamorous world of TV…NOT!
Daytona Bike week was one of the coldest in many years but despite the
weather we all made friends that will last a life time and partied for
several days straight. If you love the biker lifestyle there is nothing
that will hold you back from getting ion the road with friends, we'll
maybe the snow was a bit much.
