the very bad horse: October 2008

Ride It!

The Monteneg takes a break after a long ride down the A1A...

Biketoberfest 2008, Daytona Beach

The Very Bad Horse boutique re-created for Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Madame Montenegro introduces her MOTÖR line of denim wear to the frenzied droves of bike lovers at the Beach street booth, just adjacent to the Harley Davidson dealership and store.

BabyMoj Killin' it!

BabyMoj, a.k.a. Laura, models the Very Bad Horse denim chaps and toddler VBH logo tee. Not only is our model smokin', but our booth was beautiful as well. BabyMoj stands in front of the leaded-glass privacy screen, hand-painted and custom fabricated by Philadelphia glass artist Donald Moore.

Posterior view of the chaps. We call that a "Yeah!"

David, Kimmy, & the Booth

Documentarian David Miller accompanied us on our trip-- that's all we can say about our new friend at this time...

Perhaps a forthcoming documentary...?

Hot action shot. The windiest night ever on Daytona Beach. YAY!

Our Night in the Swamp

Our all time favorite Bad-Ass. Behold Steve Allen Coe.

Coe and his lady, Vanessa, were gracious hosts to our rowdy lot. It seems we were in good company. This is just a taste of the treasures Coe has on display in his rambling, swampy abode. Not only did he race these bikes, but they were also (re)built, bolt by bolt by our Grecian half-God, half-man, Mr. Coe.

KJ, Kimmy, Coe, and Donny parked next to Coe's antique fire truck. Coe dragged this beast out of the swamp, restored it, and cut 14 feet off the back converting it into a pick-up truck. He also made a matching motorcycle that rides in the pick-up bed.
