My favorite event of the year, Biketoberfest, started today. It's not as crowded or hot as the Bike Week event where you overheat on Main Street when moving a mile takes 40 minutes.

Daytona draws around 300,000 bikers and Orlando Harley throws a 2 day party at the historic factory dealership.

I get off early Sunday and will go to the Orlando event with live bands and a chili cookoff.

All the vendors and chopper dealers set up and it's a big weekend. Plenty of metric riders as well and everyone gets along and acts cool and stays away from the Warlocks and Outlaws girls.

I'll try to take some pictures, but they'll be mild as my wife made me put the 2 seater on and is coming with me. No boobage unfortunately.

I'll also go easy on the beer garden event as every year, there are bikers who die on the highways in the area. Usually not their fault and both Mom and Dad will be on one bike while the kids are home with the babysitter. No mercy for the chili though.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to bring one of my Churchills as I'll have plenty of time to smoke it in the nice weather while people and bike watching. The band, Bounty Hunter, is a really good Southern Rock band that plays a lot of Skynyrd.
