| FIRST STOP, REGISTRATION AND BREAKFAST AT THE AMERICAN LEGION POST WHERE THEY SERVED A HOT BREAKFAST AND COLD BEVERAGES |
| BUT REMEMBER - IF YOU WIN A SHIRT, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT ON - NO MATTER THE SHIRT! |
| AND NOW THE POKER RUN WINNERS ONCE AGAIN WE BEAT LAST YEARS CASH PRIZES! |
| THE NUMBERS FOR THIS YEARS RIDE WENT TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL YOU FAITHFUL RIDERS THAT KEEP COMING BACK, BRINGING YOUR FRIENDS AND SPREADING THE WORD. WE DIDN'T EVEN PUT OUT FLYERS THIS YEAR! 130 OF YOU SHOWED UP WITH 97 BIKES TO RIDE THE BEAUTIFUL FLORIDA BACK ROADS ON WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE DID NOT GET RAINED ON! WHAT A GREAT RIDE IT WAS! |
| GROUP SAFETY MEETING BEFORE THE BIG RIDE |
| THEN WE ARE OFF TO OUR FIRST STOP AT OSCEOLA TAVERN IN DADE CITY |
| BACK ON THE ROAD TO THE LUNCH STOP AT TOUCH DOWN EDDIES IN LAKELAND WHERE THEY SERVED US A BBQ PLATTER AND MORE COLD BEVERAGES |
| RAFFLE PRIZES WERE GIVEN AWAY AT EVERY STOP |
| AFTER A GOOD LUNCH AND A FEW JOKES IT WAS KNEES IN THE BREEZE WITH THE NEXT STOP AT UNCLE FATS PUB IN TEMPLE TERRACE |
| WE HAD OUR TWO FRIENDS, MICHELLE AND KEVIN, FROM DIXIE BIKER MAGAZINE RIDE THE ENTIRE DAY WITH US |
| AFTER A FANTASTIC DAY OF RIDING IT WAS OFF TO THE LAST STOP AT HOME TEAM SPORTS PUB IN TAMPA. ON MOST RIDES, IF PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE A WINNING HAND, THEY USUALLY SPLIT, BUT NOT ON ROCKIN ROB'S FUN RUN! WE STAY FOR HOURS HAVING FUN AND GETTING CRAZY! WHAT OTHER RIDE DO YOU GO ON WHERE THE GROUP SPENDS HOURS AT THE LAST STOP? |
| OF COURSE THE PRIZE PATROL WAS OUT. WE HAD ZACHARY TOSSING OUT SHIRTS AND BEADS AND GIVING AWAY ALL KINDS OF LITTLE TRINKETS. AND DON'T FORGET THE FREE RAFFLE PRIZES! |
| WE WERE HONORED TO HAVE RIDING WITH US AN AMERICAN HERO. TOM HAD RECENTLY RETURNED HOME FROM IRAQ, BOUGHT HIMSELF A HARLEY AND CHOSE ROCKIN ROB'S FUN RUN AS HIS FIRST POKER RUN! |
| JOE SPEZZANO WORST HAND OF ACE, 2, 5, 6, 7 GOT HIM $387.00! |
| MARK MICHAELS SECOND BEST HAND OF THREE SIXES WON HIM $387.00 ALSO! |
| WE HAVE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT HOW WE FUCKED UP THE SECOND PLACE WINNING HAND. IT TURNED OUT THAT ANOTHER GUY (SORRY I DON'T HAVE YOUR NAME) ACTUALLY HAD THE SECOND BEST HAND WITH THREE ACES. MAM MARIE AND MOMMA JO BOTH SAID THAT THEY SAW THE HAND AT THE FINAL STOP, HOWEVER, ROCKIN ROB AND BAD ANDY DID NOT SEE THE HAND WHILE SORTING THE WINNERS. WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT WE ARE ALREADY MAKING CHANGES THAT WILL HELP ENSURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN! IT IS INEXCUSABLE TO FUCK WITH A MANS MONEY! THE GUY WAS WAY COOL AND FORGAVE US AND WE HOPE HE JOINS US AGAIN NEXT YEAR (WE'LL HAVE A HUGE PRIZE PACKAGE FOR YOU!). |
