Bike Night Ballyhoo!

Published on July 8, 2022 under Blog
Bike Night Ballyhoo!
It's July and already hotter than a $2 pistol, my BTR friends. I keep telling Mike to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. He keeps telling me his arms are hurting from too many 12 oz curls, his fingers are pruned from holding too many wet cans, and his brain is too foggy from multiple run-ins with Bud, Foster, Stella, Amber and Genny. Bert’s Great American Bike Night at OCC Roadhouse & Museum has been off the chain. Lately there have been two bands and me on stage with at least one of them, a variety of vendors, awesome food choices, and plenty…

Cave Spring

Cave Spring
Cave Spring is located in Floyd County and is 25 minutes from Rome, Georgia and less than 5 minutes away from the state of Alabama. It is like any typical off-the-interstate, sleepy small town in the South. With a population at just over a thousand, it is more a community of friends and relatives than a city. Everyone you meet is overflowing with hospitality and you always feel like you’re minutes away from the possibility of enjoying a cup of black coffee, or a beer on the porch with a new friend. Cave Spring is actually located on the Trail…

Riding The Dragonslayer

Riding The Dragonslayer
In my last column I mentioned pointing my bike in a direction, any direction, instead of having a predetermined route or destination in mind.  Well, I kind of did both recently.  Last week I pointed my bike north into Kentucky.  East Kentucky, to be exact. I connected with a friend who's the motorsports event coordinator for Backroads of Appalachia, Mr. Jay Fryman.  Jay, as his title infers, is responsible for marketing, and delivering a total motorsport's tourism initiative.  I say total because it includes motorcycles, adventure/dual sport bikes, side x sides, Slingshots and a vast number of car clubs with…

Great American Bike Night at OCC Road House – Meet Paul Teutul Sr. along with Spyke and Mike
We’re right smack dab in the middle of it, my Born To Ride friends. I'm not just referring to the afternoon showers and intense heat/humidity of June, but the OCC Roadhouse and museum. They are the latest and greatest group to join the Born To Ride family and we are the latest and greatest group to be pitching a 10 x 10 tent at their Great American Bike Night on Thursday. You'll find me on the Fat Bird 3 under the tent supporting the festivities at one of the biggest and baddest biker Meccas on the west coast of Florida.…

The Clock is Ticking…

The Clock is Ticking…
I’m not gonna waste any time getting to the point. With the way things have been going with our country and the citizens of this country’s mentality, it’s extremely evident we have a problem. Again, our rights are under attack on multiple fronts, and we are allowing it to happen. This past month we’ve had more horrific events taking place committed by our own people against our own people. Again, our Second Amendment rights are under attack. All of this due to the act of another mentally disturbed individual. Every time there’s a shooting with mass casualties, the anti-gun crowd comes…

LOOKIN’ BACK AT ROADS TRAVELED
With the coming of May we're coming into Love Bug season my BTR friends. A time when bugs between the teeth can only mean you're smiling way too much when on two wheels. Except in my case, they just leave juice behind as they disintegrate bouncing off my aerodynamic beak! Mike belches out, “Yeah little buddy, over the past few years there hasn't been enough bugs between my teeth, until recently. Now I can't seem to get my fair share of ‘em and you definitely don't see enough bugs bouncing off your beak either. Lately I've found you sitting for…

All Florida Guidelines – Spyke and Mike
Spring has sprung my BTR friends. So has the influx of retirees, Canadians, and Yankees moving south. Last month I gave out-of-staters the red flags about sightseeing here. For those who are not easily scared by my typing talons and are ready to make a change in their home address, this month I’m giving you the A.F.G’s (All Florida Guidelines) about what to expect living here and what we expect of you becoming a Sunshine State citizen. Mike breaks in, “You tell ‘em my avian encyclopedia of the Floridian lifestyle. They just don’t seem to understand my mortal interactions, profanities…

JUST BE REAL
OK people here it comes. A quarter of the year is already gone. Time to start thinking about those New Year’s resolutions you made and whether you are sticking to them or not. I hope that many of you found success in accomplishing them; am I being optimistic? To those who are still on track and plugging away at those resolutions, good for you and keep up the good work. I know in some of my past writings I have rambled on about the way things used to be compared to the way they are now as well as my observations of…
