Cochise rocks the airwaves

Our buddy Cochise, who chops bikes and trucks, was on Doug Kosarek's Wake Up Daytona radio show on WNDB Tuesday morning. In the short space of 15 minutes, they managed to cover topics such as police presence, the size of the crowd, taxes, political candidates -- it was awesome! Hopefully Cochise will be back on Doug's show again soon, it was really fun to listen to them.

After that we went to Mary McLeod Bethune Cookman Boulevard to find some black bikers, because Will was working on a story about them. They were really hard to find -- seriously. We had to drive around quite a lot before we actually found some people with bikes. Again, we're told they're coming later. . .we did see this guy with a cool setup, big speakers on his bike, and his iPod hooked up to it. Sweet!

After that we went up to Willie's Tropical Tattoo, to see what's going on up there, and so Will could talk to the original owner of his Triumph, a tattoo artist from New York who only comes in during special events. Sucker Punch Sallys had a trailer up there, but just one lonely kid manned the booth, and basically he was telling everyone to go back down to Stone Edge. We've been told that there are big shows Wednesday and Friday at Stone Edge, but Thursday is the show up at Willie's, and everyone from Stone Edge will be there -- I think they're basically closing up the park so they all can go up. Or maybe they'll leave one lonesome kid down there, to point the way up to Ormond?

That kid was cool though -- he did let me sit on one of their choppers, which had the coolest paint job, to look like wood. I banged my leg getting on -- apparently choppers have lots of stuff that stick out from them! Yeah, not like getting on a bicycle. Oh well. :-)
