Harley Davidson East-Orlando had a car and bike show today, with free food, free beer, and free music. They were even handing out wall plaques to people that preregistered for the show, usually it's just a dash plaque (always a nice touch).
It was a small show with some very nice cars and bikes, and aside from the 110 heat index it was a great time. There was a pretty large group from the "Central Florida Cruisers" out for the day, it was nice to see those folks. Wanting to spend most of my time in the shade of the tents I was a little light on the picture taking today. I just photoed my car with a great bike, and a selection of my favorites scattered about.
The food was pretty good, even better because it was free. Though BBQ pork is usually done with Butt not Loin, but can you really complain if it's free? They had beer, soda, and water for free as well, though I didn't have any of the beer (I am sort of a beer snob).
The band, also free, was not bad at all for a cover band. They sang rock and roll songs from "Van Halen", "The Cure", and I think I even heard a "Flock Of Seagulls" song too. They weren't too loud, it was a perfect volume where we were sitting, we could hear them but still talk over them.
For all the show had to offer, and 90% of free (there was a liquid nitrogen ice cream maker for $5), it was worth being out for the show. Braving the 101 degrees with 76% humidity for a heat index of 110 degrees, and a UV level of 8, was easier because the show was a lot of fun. Shade, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are your best friends on days like today...
Ooh, there's my Mach 1! Well, I wish it was mine!
