Here it is! One more step closer to home! Biketoberfest was quite an experience, I’m glad I get to share a little piece of that with you.

#39 Motorcycle rally. Enjoy.

Thanks for watching. If you like the podcasts be sure to head over to iTunes and subscribe…and write a glowing review.

I’m done.

If you liked this post, why not buy me some leather chaps?

What? I bet I’d look hot.

Question: What happens when you find yourself tossed in the middle of a huge group of people that have nothing in common with you (besides maybe the fact that they’re bipedal) yet EVERYTHING in common with each other, thus making you as out of place as possible?

Answer: You find yourself one step closer to home!

Fish out of water doesn’t even begin to describe the position I found myself in today. The fish would have to be not only OUT of water but then back into something that is the opposite of water…like steam, or fire maybe (or retaw?). Of course this feeling was compounded by my company. Mike, my CouchSurfing host,

is an awesome guy…unfortunately, he’s also just as skinny and dorky as I am. Not to mention, for the first time on this trip I actually felt overdressed.

So, to say we stuck out like a pair of sore thumbs at Biketoberfest would be an understatement. Luckily, that’s exactly what made the day interesting.

Fun facts:

1. Motorcycle rallies are not a place to find “attractive” women.

2. Fat men in leather will not hesitate to use their girth to move you.

3. The English language needs FAR fewer words than it has. (This I know to be true because I overheard several conversations that consisted almost entirely of swear words and both parties seemed to leave with a full understanding.)

Highlights:

1. The sheer number of motorcycles and bikers was amazing and the pictures don’t do the numbers justice. You’ll have to wait for the podcast later in the week to be truly amazed.

2. A dude with a motorcycle that was COVERED in alligator hide…from a gator HE killed less than twenty miles from Daytona Beach.

3. Another motorcycle with incredible artwork that reminded me of a western comic book.

That’ll have to be all for now. But #39 is officially done! The podcast should be up later this week. I intended to put a surprise podcast up tonight but I figured it was important to let you guys know another objective had bitten the dust! The surprise still stands though and I’ll probably post it tomorrow! Exciting? Thought so.

I’m done.

Brett.

If you liked this story, why not buy me a leather jacket, so I can fit in?
