As I was culling through my photos from this past summer I realized I never posted these shots from . Sure that probably had to do with my leaving Daytona with a broken hand but whatever. What better way to celebrate fall than remembering some of the fun that spring Daytona has to offer!?

Have you ever been walking through a bike show or parking lot and felt a motorcycle call to you? No, just me? Weird.
This Sporty chopper at the this past summer called to me & I needed to get this photo.

A couple pieces of vintage American Iron made an appearance at the Lorem Ipsum Vintage Motorcycle Picnic as well.
The blue drew me in immediately, and sure the FXR was from my group but I’ll never miss a chance to shoot one.

I had the pleasure of going to the Loren Ipsum Vintage Motorcycle Picnic for the first time this summer, and am finally getting the shots edited. There were a ton of really neat bikes that showed up, this Nimbus with the sidecar immediately caught my eye not only because I love sidecar bikes but you don’t see many of these out and about. Actually, this may be the first one I’ve seen in person and it immediately sent me down a rabbit hole of internet research.
The Beamer, while not as rare, was also an eye catcher and a great example of a vintage bike being ridden in the modern era.
Overall, this was a very fun event and I’m glad I was finally able to attend.

It’s not finished, buts it’s good enough for now. The rebuild on this thing is making me fall back in love with riding again, and the roads out here aren’t hurting either.

Spotted this ironhead outside a bar this past weekend & couldn’t help but get a photo.
I love buildings that look abandoned and crusty, but I love a nice Ironhead more. I could tell when I saw the rider jump the curb and throttle through the washed out dirt lot to get to his preferred parking spot that it was not the first time this bike had seen some sketchy off road riding.

Certainly! Here's a short inspirational speech for bikers:
---
**"Riding Free: Embracing Life on Two Wheels"**
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow riders, and enthusiasts,
Today, I stand before you to celebrate the spirit of biking—the wind in our hair, the hum of rubber on asphalt, and the camaraderie that binds us. Bikers are not merely riders; we are dreamers, rebels, and seekers of the open road.

If you don’t get a photo with the sign, were you even in Sturgis?
Thanks for always being down to ride, even if it’s just to do tourist s**t like this!

Took the opportunity to get out and do some real Sturgis Tourist stuff tonight. Ride to Rockerville, Keystone, Rushmore, Hill City, & Sheridan Lake Road. Definitely a good night of riding!

If there is ONE show I will not miss while I’m in Sturgis it’s the by . All of the biker bravado and nonsense is left at the door in exchange for retro vibes, amazing choppers, great conversations, and everything the industry should be. I frequently describe this show as “living in a David Mann painting” and I know it sounds like an exaggeration but it’s true.

Baby steps to success here! Those B52s make the look like a whole new bike! Special thanks to for wrapping them in the rubber super quickly too.

Got out and put some miles down for the first time since Daytona & my hand surgery. Building confidence back up is fun especially on this . This just feels like a slightly overgrown dirt bike and is crazy fun to throw or even just putt on. If you’ve not ridden one, and grew up on dirt bikes like I did, you should try it and see if you immediately want to find a trail or hill.

I know I normally do but we’re doing this week.
I spotted this beautiful FL our side of when I was down there for . Not much will stop me in my tracks quite as quickly as a clean shovel that someone’s actually riding.

One of the things I’ve really started liking this past year is taking candid, in the moment, unnoticed photos. I snagged this meeting of the minds in at the bike show.

Am I potentially tweaking from drag racing withdrawals? Maybe. Luckily I’ve got shots from the drags in Sturgis and the drags in Martin to hold me by, for now.

Finally! A 2-1 for the dyna that looks good, sounds better, has enough ground clearance to carve a corner, but won’t burn my LeatherPros. Yeah, I’m excited.
