Issue 57 three more months to go and Rebel Rider Magazine turns five years old. Thousands of pictures, hundreds of articles, and tons of fun adds it up. This has been a wonderful ride. If I had it to do all over again, I would change nothing. Writing * Taking Pictures * Working with others has been our passion for nearly 20 years now, through all this time we have made so many wonderful friends, had the opportunity to visit fantastic locations all over the USA and world, personally sat down, talked and eaten right along with motorcycle legends such as Willie G. Knock on wood, the weather thus far has been unreal with nearly every day of this winter in the 70’s. We could not ask for more perfect riding weather, I have yet to see anyone wearing a set of chaps. In addition turnouts for events have been setting records such as our annual Hang-Over ride this year that had nearly 200 bikes.

Rank: Sergeant Organization: U.S. Army Company: Company E, 2d Battalion Division: 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division Born: July 26, 1948, Juarez, Mexico Departed: Yes (02/17/1977) Date of Issue: 03/18/2014 Place / Date: May 12, 1970, Republic of Vietnam Citation Medal Of Honor Specialist Four Jesus S. Duran distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as an acting M-60 machine gunner in Company E, 2d Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) during combat operations against an armed enemy in the Republic of Vietnam on April 10, 1969. That afternoon, the reconnaissance platoon was moving into an elaborate enemy bunker complex when the lead elements began taking concentrated ambush fire from every side. The command post was in imminent danger of being over run. With an M-60 machinegun blazing from his hip, Specialist Four Duran rushed forward and assumed a defensive position near the command post. As hostile forces stormed forward, Specialist Four Duran stood tall in a cloud of dust raised by the impacting rounds and bursting grenades directed towards him and thwarted the enemy with devastating streams of machinegun fire. Learning that two seriously wounded troopers lay helplessly pinned down under harassing fire, Specialist Four Duran assaulted the suppressive enemy positions, firing deadly bursts on the run. Mounting a log, he fired directly into the enemy's foxholes, eliminating four and cutting down several others as they fled. Specialist Four Duran then continued to pour effective fire on the disorganized and fleeing enemy. Specialist Four Duran's extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army. Please Note: Tina Duran Daughter of Jesus Duran being given the Medal of Honor in Washington DC Ceremony 45 years after the action took place in the Republic of Vietnam. 10 11 12 Riding SOB Started out the new year right with a great time on the Hangover Ride. Surprising to see such a huge turn-out that early on New Years Day….. It‘s already February? Really, it’s already February. I’m a little late fillin‘ in the calendar with all the great ridin‘ coming up, but here it is. Save the dates, you don’t want to miss any of ’em: Seminole HOG’s Valentines Run, 02/08; DeLand Bike Rally, 03/07; Sam Swope Ride, 03/08; Bike Week, 03/6-15; Rev. Al’s Coalition for the Homeless Run, 03/21; Ribbon Rider’s Go Pink Run, 04/12; Leesburg Bikefest, 04/24-26; Panama City Spring Rally, 04/29-05/03; and you sure don’t want to miss a wild time at the Proud to be an American Bikefest, 05/22-24.…. If you’re looking for anything related to riding, head over to Bikers Consignment in Winter Park. MJ and Bob always have a great deal, and the inventory changes every day….. I want to take a minute here to give out a big welcome to two new members of the Rebel Rider Magazine advertiser family. If you need a great sound system for your bike, stop in and see Frank at Daytona Cycle Audio in Ormond Beach. If you’re looking for a great deal on a bike, head over to Beach Street in Daytona and see Heavy at Midwest Motorcycles….. I was just wonderin’ - if I went to Bike Week and wore a NASCAR t-shirt, would I be allowed to walk down the street with a beer in my hand?….. Another new year, just like last year - look for me out there riding the February 2015, Rebel Rider Magazine back roads and bar stools of Central Florida! -Brad [email protected] Riding SOB on Facebook 407-432-5845 13 US Mil Vets M/C 15th Annual Party Wow! This story is different. I was sick as can be but I had to cover the Lake County Mil Vet Event and knew there was no way I was going to subject anyone to what I had...so the best thing I could do was a ride by photo shoot...from what I could tell the American Legion, where the event was being held in Mount Dora, was as packed as could be...this was really fantastic for not only the Mil Vets but also for the American Legion. I hope I never get sick again on a day like this...good thing for my Sony Full HD Movie...Sweet...enjoy what few pictures I was able to take from inside my four wheeler…Hark 14 Rock And Rumble Into 2015 Gator Harley-Davidson knows how to kick off a new year. What more can you ask for when your talking food, vendors and kick ass music by Bobby Friss, I guess you could ask for good weather...well I have yet to see a bad day in January. The rest is pictures of the way to kick off the New Year. More Pictures Page 16. Hark 15 16 More Parking At The Hideaway Do you all remember a few years ago when Dan owner of the Hideaway bought a piece of property across the street for more parking...you can get about 200 or more bikes in that area...well I think he ran out of room. Recently right next to the parking area in front of the Hideaway on the Lake Side Dan bought more property and opened up more parking...not sure how many bikes can park there but it is certainly awesome. Thanks Dan for thinking about your customers...no-one likes to walk far. Hark 17 Ocala HD Customer Appreciation Day Here it is the middle of January, the sun is shining, the temp is in the upper 60’s……Just a perfect day for riding, and partying with good friends at Ocala Harley Davidson. These folks had a custom made smoker, Harley colors of course, and a counter weight for the heavy door is a genuine Harley Davidson tranny, awesome. The best part about this smoker lies inside being monitored by a real chef cooking up some of the best BBQ you have ever put in your mouth. Good music, good food, good friends and truck loads of brand new Harleys. Good job OHD, as usual.

Last stop was our host The Shamrock Lounge & Package in Leesburg where they had blocked off nearly the whole entire parking lot for bikes. They again put out one whale of a free food layout that just kept on coming...Peter and Katie are first class bar owners that always go the extra mile for bikers, their bartenders worked none stop for hours. The rest is pictures on this page. Page 21, 22, 23. Hark New years day 2015...who would have ever thought an idea that had around 20 or so bikes turn out the first year for a New Years ride would have this large a turn out by the sixth year. The ride this year started at several locations...first there was Franks Place in Ocoee where around 45 bikers got going around 10 AM, then in Sorrento at the Oasis another 45 or so showed up...then the group from Ocoee joined the group at the Oasis and kept on going...by the time the ride got to the Crazy Gator in Eustis there were around 200 bikes...I have no clue how many 20 February 2015, Rebel Rider Magazine 21 Hangover Ride 2015 Pictures 22 Hangover Ride 2015 Pictures 23 24 February 2015, Rebel Rider Magazine 25 Out And About With Robyn Welcome to a new year!

Rebel Rider Duke 33 February 2015, Rebel Rider Magazine 34 Lochloosa Harbor Chili Cook-Off Lochloosa Harbor had its first annual Chili Cook Off. Those attended were the judges, getting to taste each chili and vote for their favorite. There were the typical mild and hot versions, wild game and keeping to the local even a fish chili. 1st, 2nd and 3rd places took home cash prizes. Then the lids came off and everyone enjoyed each other’s chili, an iced cold beer and great company. Cowboy 35 Out And About With Buckshot In January 36 February 2015, Rebel Rider Magazine 37 Pirates Pub Anniversary Beautiful weather, Great location, Friendly people, and a great ride to Pirates Pub in Paisley to an awesome Anniversary Party. It was not that long ago the only drinks you could order were beer and wine...these days it is a full bar with a whole lot more. The Anniversary turn-out was fantastic with bikes coming and going for hours. The entertainment was great. Food was provided, bikers loved the outdoor warmth of the day, you just can’t say enough for the job Mark and Bonnie owners of Pirates have done. The rest is pictures on this page and page 39. Hark 38 39 Partying At The Tilted Kilt The Tilted Kilt is one great place to party, meet new friends, eat, drink and be merry. On this particular night we had some awesome music from Delbert Britton and the Country Hustlers along with some of our favorite people. Want a beer? These guys have beer and lots of it, just about all brands and all sizes from a mug to 100 ounce pitchers, plenty of bike parking and the TK girls are awesome. Nefty wants to remind everyone that bike night will resume beginning on the first Saturday in April and I’m sure he will have some fun things for all to do. Get out to the Kilt, say hello to Nefty and all the TK girls.
