I have attended many events lately and have met some great people with some awesome looking bikes.  Check them out:

Ted Erickson's Square Four Motorcycle (very rare and magnifcent).  I had the pleasure of meeting Ted who has 6 decades of motorcycle stories.  Ted, from Sarasota has travelled all over the world with is bikes.  The Norton featured below was one of only three frames shipped into the USA from Great Britain in the 1960's and Ted got one of them.  His collection deserves more than this mention so fortunately Ted a agreed to meet me in Sarasota for an extensive interview.

Ted Erickson's 1968 Norton and 1958 BSA.

FL/NY Ryderz,  very cool group - they were leaving this event on their way to a Nursing Home to visit the elderly.  You can find more information on them at www.flnyryderz.com

The winners of the show were these two bikes - both designed and built by Joe Kurpiewski of TCW (Thunder Chopper Works) Joe's work speaks for itself and can be  clearly seen with all the 1st place trophies sitting in his showroom.  Joe is located in Sebring, Florida but his work is seen nationwide on the roads and in shows.

Joe's Trike won 1st place (again) at the Cinco de Mayo bike event in Lake Placid, Fl.
