2023 Daytona Bike Week, Daytona Beach, Florida

Welcome bikers.

There was major damage all along the beach from the previous hurricane.

As members of Christian Motorcyclists Association, we brought along our 2023 mascot, Agape Gorilla. He enjoyed rides on the beach, checking out signs and just hanging out. In February 2024, he will be auctioned off and all proceeds got to Run For The Son missions.

Beautiful scenery for cruising.

Here’s a sample of the fabulous custom paint jobs.

The streets are lined with clothing shops.

They have many campgrounds to accomadate the crowds.

We really enjoyed our time at Daytona Bike Week. Definitely worth the trip.

2022, EARLS 66 MOTEL, WINSLOW, ARIZONA

Looking for somewhere to spend the night, we came across Earl’s. It is a 1950’s motel. Very nostalgic. Interior of rooms reflect the era with the exception of the large screen TV. I really loved the touch of the handmade quilt on the bed.

It is located near a railroad track and road so if you need quiet for the night, this is not your stop. However, if you want to take a walk back to the 50’s, Earl’s s it.

Room was very clean and friendly staff.

So now I have stood on the corner of Winslow, AZ and I also slept on the corner of Winslow, AZ. For those of you who don’t know, ‘standing on the corner n Winslow, AZ, is a verse from a song, “Take It Easy” by the Eagles.

2022 Guadalupe Brewing Company and pizza kitchen, New Braunfels, Texas

In New Braunfels, TX, you will find this is a great place to stay for a night after a long day of travel. The parking lot is huge and they will accommodate up to 5 campers.

The brewery has a great list of beers to choose from. They also have a few NA beers for those who like the taste but do not want the alcohol.

There is indoor and outdoor seating. On the Friday night we were there they had a live band. It was real enjoyable.

The pizza kitchen is only a few steps from the brewery. They have an amazing variety of pizzas or you can create your own, plus a variety of other menu items. We had the pizza and it was delicious.

When you travel through New Braunfels stop in at the Guadalupe Brewing Company and Pizza Kitchen. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely garden areas to sit and relax.

Live band concerts outdoors. Plenty of space very large gatherings.

safety notice

Please read this as it could save your life.

We were camping at Moondance Jam in Walker, MN in July 2021. Our Class A camper was parked next to a camper that had a generator set outside. Little did we know the generators exhaust was directed towards our camper. Our slides were open and the exhaust had gotten into our camper. We were awakened by the CO2 detector going off.

If you have slides open and there is a generator next to your camper, make sure that their exhaust is not directed toward you camper.

This could have ended tragically if we did not have that CO2 detector.

We had our neighbors reposition the exhaust outward, away from our camper.

Please share this information with your camping friends. It could save their life.

Safe Camping to all.

2021 sturgis, SOUTH DAKOTA

DOWNTOWN

Gypsy and Lonestar visit Sturgis for the first the ever. What an experience.

1000’s of motorcycles lined the streets.

From steel horses to real horses. The Budweiser Clydesdales made an appearance.

There is so much to do while in Sturgis. I t can take hours walking around checking out all the motorcycles, some of which are very unique. Stores line the streets filled with all kinds of biker gear. There are also many restaurants/bars.

One very unique place we visited was the Motorcycle Museum. From antiques to modern day motorcycles, this is where you got to see them.

We were fortunate enough to meet Senator Dave Zien. He is an avid motorcycle rider with 119 world records, 11,000 miles in 31 days and 113,800 miles in one year.

He was in a very bad accident where he lost his left leg. And yes, he still rides. It was really great to meet him and hear him share some of his over-the-road stories.
