Fran Haasch Food and Toy Drive

November 14th, 2009

The 1st Annual Attorney Fran Haasch Food and Toy Drive in Palm Harbor was on November 13th. The Food & Toy Drive was to benefit two local charities: F.E.A.S.T. Food Pantry and 4 KID’s Charity. We brought along some food items to contribute to the mix.

Sandwiches, refreshments and desserts were served. It was nice to hang out with those who share our love of the open road.  Born To Ride, Full Throttle, GoFAR, and Rider Now magazine were all in attendance. Also, check out www.BikersPost.com a relatively new social networking site for bikers. They’ve mainly been in SE Florida but are expanding into this area as well.

The 5th annual Cotee River Bike Fest, in New Port Richie, FL was at a nice location right by the river, in and around the downtown area. Lots of vendors, and the Ride Like a Pro guys were there doing a great presentation of how it’s really done.

Florida Touring: Aripeka

October 3rd, 2009

Sunny day, mid-80’sF and time for a ride. Cruised up to Brooksville via Hwy 41, then across Hwy 50 to Aripeka. Had a nice lunch overlooking the river, and flirted with the waitress.

Climbed the tower to see what’s what up there.

Nice view.

Then home…

Gulf Coast Harley Davidson

August 15th, 2009

Stopped by the Harley shop in New Port Richie, FL this morning. It’s a great Saturday ‘destination’. They have free hamburgers, hot dogs, and do a draw for some free items like t-shirts, gloves, and more. There’s a pool room with coffee and snacks, all free. Outside is a row of rocking chairs that are always filled with those who like to watch the bikes coming and going.

This motorcycle was parked out front. I thought it was one of the nicest there (aside from my own bike of course).

    About

    I started riding bikes in the late 1960s and did my first cross continent trip on a Honda 750 in 1972. I love bikes, touring, customizing, gear, and the people who ride and love bikes. This blog will hopefully give you a view of some of the cool bikes and bikers I get to meet. -Phil
