Another GREAT old school chopper/bike show in the books for Willie Jones of Tropical Tattoo at the ChopperTime event! The crowd was perfect and so was the weather! Saw friends there old and new from near and far this weekend! Even met a bunch of cool NEW friends!
Miserable George and I love coming to cover Willie’s twice a year, we would never miss it!
Best bike show EVER!!!
OK see y’all for Bike Week 2024
Love y’all, ENJOY! ~ Valgal
Here it is, 2023 Biketoberfest in Daytona…10/19 and the weather is absolutely PERFECT…no better day for Willie’s Chopper Time Show…! ValGal and I rolled in around 11AM, and I started shooting pics of a gorgeous lady…..in the Publix parking lot, no less!!! I hoped that was an omen of things to come..!!! The crowd was down a bit because it was Biketoberfest…NOT regular Bike Week. We made our rounds, checking out all the custom scoots, and the babes!! Ran into a bunch from Reading, PA. who went to the same party I went to when I lived up north..!!! Like old home week!!!AS the day progressed, the winners lined up to show their bikes up front…ValGal got those shots. I went to the back where there were some nice shadows which made it a bit cooler. All in all, a fabulous event, after which we stopped at Pappas Restaurant for our regular “after Willies” meal…a perfect way to end the day.
Hey, thank a VET today, ride safe, and we’ll see ya’ll next time.

Sorry, I never did get the name of the band…..
Bike Day on Sat., Oct. 7, 2023 was a huge success(again) for ME anyway!!!! Plenty of beautiful photo opps…! The live band, RADAR RED was sounding off as I arrived at the rear patio of Post 359. The crowd was filtering in…and soon the place was filled up. I had my usual meal, then started gathering photos for Old School Biker Magazine. I finally got a pic of Shelly the Bar Maid…out from behind the bar!!!! The 50/50 winner donated back $50 from her winnings…NICE!!! I finally got that gorgeous Keyboard player in the band to pose for a solo shot…!!! The weather was very pleasant all day long, but looked like it MIGHT turn bad by late afternoon, so I called it a day. I believe ValGal headed out for home as well.
Hey, thank a VET today…ride safe…and we’ll see ya next time…
Miserable George & ValGal….

What a GREAT DAY in Daytona! The weather was the best it has been in a while… Winter is coming !!!
Cochise Chop’s Magazine has been putting on his Blue Plate Special Show for a few years now and was determined to make it this year! Super glad I did!
Walking around and looking at the oldies, but goodies sure takes you back to the ‘good old days’ and you miss the simplicity of life in those days… But we take a deep breath and just tackle what life throws at us the best we can. As you will see in the photo’s, fun was had by all!….
Shovelheads were parked out front of the Famous Boot Hill Saloon and parking space filled up quickly. No bands to yell over, just great conversation with friends old and new… Big shout out to Orange John the awesome drag racer and all the friends from Pennsylvania… Enjoy the photos and please share our website to one and all!

Love y’all, Valgal!
PS. We will do this every year now!
A bunch of mean looking clouds rolled past my place just as I was getting ready to shove off to Post 359 for Bike Day. Those clouds DID dump some rain on my place, however, 359 was spared…WHEW!!! The crowd was a bit sparse when I got there, but grew pretty fast. The band, Roughouse, was wailing away, and cute little barmaid Shelly was busy providing those cold ones…she’s a Sweetheart!!! By now, BOTH bars were busy, and food was being served. Everything was moving at a FULL SWING pace. The weather was perfect, although it was a BIT warm…those big fans on the deck DID help. Despite the heat, I did see people dancing…!!! Bikes were rolling in, and soon the back deck was packed. It turned out to be a FUN DAY…!!!
Folks, thank a vet today, and may GOD BLESS YOU ALL…!!!
Miserable George & ValGal…(Yeah, she was there too)
This is the time of year for crazy weather, and man….have we been getting just THAT…!!! BUT, today, 8-5-23 was different…at least, it started out that way!! It was HOT, but the BIG DADDY BAND attracted a nice crowd….if anybody’s gonna do it…THEY will..!!! We ran into some friends whom we hadn’t seen for awhile…THAT’S always nice. The food was very good…as always…and, Shelly, that sweet little bar-maid, was busy keeping the cold ones coming. Judging by what was parked in back…someone even arrived on a beautiful Farmall “H” tractor…!!! The band DID attract a dancer or two…even in the heat…!!! The fans were running, but like one guy said, they were just blowing hot air!!!!
Well, whatever, it was a fun afternoon…I always look forward to it.
Hey, thank a VET today, and GOD BLESS AMERICA…..!!!!
