If your heading down to Daytona you should be in for a kickin’ year. 2011 marks the 70th annual event and from the looks of things Daytona is going to be celebrating big. As usual you can find daily happenings at all the major hot spots such as the Broken Spoke, Full Moon, Boot Hill Saloon, Destination Daytona, Irongate Saloon, Limp Nickie Lot, Dog House, Gillys, the Cabbage Patch and all the other fun spots to hit. Of course don’t forget all the racing that will be going down at the speedway, after all the races are what this event is really all about. There will also be bike show, after bike show, after bike show. Looking for some old cool treasures, be sure to hit up the Limp Nickie swap meet, this will be for serious hunters only as it was stated no vendors will be allowed carrying those feather roach clips and trinkets like that. There will be plenty of guided rides you can go on, one special one being the Harley Davidson’s Women’s MDA ride on March 8th. Of course another great attraction is the beach, how about jaunting out of town for a ride and then spending the afternoon relaxing in the sand. We also highly recommend you hit up the Ormand beach Union Church Pancake breakfast, nothing like supporting the local community, not to mention you get the best food at the best prices at these events and top it off with some of the best conversations with the people you will meet. One last thing, while your in Daytona be sure to check the site for updates from Sara as she reports with Rally TV, we will have a post on that soon. You can check this out to see all the excitement and find out what’s going on, if you can’t make it to Daytona, Rally TV will share with you all that you missed. Ride safe!

Garage-Girls Profile; Heyltje Rose
If your into motorcycles and fashion you have probably seen some of this talented artists work, All of us here at Garage-Girls are fans and wanted to share with you all a little more about this savvy talent, so here is our Garage-Girls profile on Heyltje Rose…….
GG. Tell us about you, where are you from, what are you into and what do you like to do with your free time?
HR. I’m from the sticks- Hector, upstate NY. I am a leathersmith, but also enjoy Pilates, bikes, fashion, antiques, art. I am presently in the process of getting my Pilates certification.
GG. How did you find your passion for your craft? How long have you been doing it?
HR. I can credit my boyfriend and Paul Cox for getting me into working with leather. My boyfriend had worked with leather as a kid. He had minimal tools. When I saw Indian Larry’s bikes and those incredible seats I wanted to learn how to tool. I bought tools and old manuals from the 70’s and messed around with them. I was hooked. I have been doing it for 5 years
GG. What do you love most about your artwork?
HR. I love that I have found my niche and can make a living from what I love to do. I love that I now have an excuse to go antiquing and buy findings. I include as much of it as possible in my work.
GG. Do you have a sweet car or a motorcycle?
HR. My only vehicle is a Mini Cooper S. Love it, but doesn’t have the character of a vintage car or hand made bike. I love old wagons…Someday I will own a Rambler. And someday I will have a flat head built by my favorite fabricator, Lock Baker @ Eastern Fabrications…
GG. What are you most passionate about in life?
HR. I am most passionate about living the life that I want to live no matter what anyone else thinks or how much people might judge me for it. I want to always do what I love (which may change someday) instead of having the driving force be monetary gain.
GG. Is there anything you would love to learn to do?
HR. I would love to get into Gyrotonics. It is a form of exercise that I have always wanted to check out.
GG. Where would you most like to visit?
HR. I have always wanted to see the Pyramids…Maybe someday when things aren’t in so much turmoil there.
GG. What is your idea of relaxing?
HR. Relaxation is yoga, a dirty martini at the end of a hard day, a deep tissue massage.
GG. What type of music do you normally listen to?
HR. I listen to Gangsta rap, old hip hop, Dylan, dub, bluegrass, punk, house….
GG. Do you collect anything?
HR. I collect old bar ware and Pyrex. It is a problem. If it is reasonably priced, I can’t leave it on the shelf….If anyone has the vintage shaker with pink elephants I NEED it.
