Roscoe's Chili Challenge 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Tom and Cindy Tobin) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:22:00 +0000

One of the best parties in the Southeast happens this week in Lakeland, FL. The 26th annual Roscoe's Chili Challenge will open Thursday through Sunday and feature biker games, live music, arm wrestling, wet "t" contest, bike show, as well as lots of other events. And don't forget the Chili Contest on Saturday for some of the finest Chili you have ever tasted. This is a true biker event so leave the children home as they won't be welcome. There is plenty of space to camp and most of Roscoe's neighbors allow RV and Camper parking for a fee. If you want to let go and have a great time, this is the place to be in Florida this week.

When you love something passionately you will do whatever it takes to be able to enjoy it. I love the fact that he embraces his disability but does not allow it to hinder his love for motorcycling. This shot was taken on Main Steet Daytona during Bike Week 2006.

Here's one for all of you that think you got skills

Cruzin' Main Street Daytona during Bike Week 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Tom and Cindy Tobin) — Mon, 23 May 2011 01:07:00 +0000

I captured this shot during Bike Week 2011 in Daytona, FL on Main Street. I love apes on a bike and when I see them I try to catch the biker so that I can see them as well as the apes in full view. I converted this photo using some techniques in photoshop to look more like a painting.

Chopper Pilot at Willie's Old School Chopper Show

This shot was taken during Bike Week in Daytona at Willie's Old School Chopper Show. It's amazing how many cool choppers and bobbers show up at Willie's Tropical Tattoo. If you are an up and coming builder this is the place to show off your talent. Many Limpnickie Lot builders attend each year and show off their newest creations. You will also find many home or small shop builds as well.

Fire Burner at Willie's Tropical Tattoo

This shot was taken during Bike Week 2007 at Willie's Tropical Tattoo. Fire was billowing out of the exhaust for about 5 feet behind this bike. It also had a cool custom intake unlike anything I have seen before on a bike. Cool chop.

I have been working on some photo techniques to transform a photo into a blend of a photo and a painting allowing for an aged grungy look. While these all started out as standard photos, through the use of adjustments and filters, I have transformed them into a different look. While not for everyone's taste, I do like the results. I welcome other opinions....

Leesburg Bikefest-415, originally uploaded by Dream Weaver Photography.

This cool chopper was seen at the Leesburg Bikefest in Leesburg, FL. It had a rigid rear and a girder front end which screamed "spine crusher even with the springs in the seat pan. The copper work accented the maroon color perfectly. About the only thing I didn't like was the choice of the rider brain bucket.....

This bad ass Busa was a show stopper at the Rat's Hole Show in Daytona during Bike Week. The stretched out frame gave the customizer a lot of room as a canvas for the painter. The level of detail was over the top.

I shot this frame scraping custom bagger at the Daytona Lagoon during the Rat's Hole Bike Show . This bagger had lots of custom work as you can see and really was quite a work of art. More pics of this bagger can be seen at my Flickr site.

This was a custom bagger entered at the World Famous Rat's Hole Custom Bike Show at the Daytona Lagoon during Bike Week 2011. It had an incredible stereo system as you can see some of the speakers protruding out of the saddle bags. The paint job was immaculate and really showed off the bike.
