So Im tooling down A1A in Daytona Beach. A guy on a Sportster motors by wearing a big grin. His ZZ Top beard splits at his chin and flows with the wind.
No colors because he doesnt need them. This dude is edgy enough and he knows it.
Think again if you think that edgy old dudes are just bikers. There's a place called Sebastian Inlet about an hour south of Daytona. They call it the best surf in Florida. There are old and young surfers. The younger ones give respect to the old dudes if they show some skill and edge.
St. Petersburg is on the west coast of Florida and there's no prettier venue for a car show and auction. So I caught the Florida Turnpike to Orlando then headed to Tampa/St. Pete. Sweet cars and rods shown with pride by old dudes that finally fulfilled their dreams of custom metal. They got the cash now plus maturity.
Theyre edgy old dudes whove arrived.
They have got bald heads, tattoos, ponytails, earrings, goatees, full beards, fu Manchus. Pushing 60 or above and want to make sure they did instead of wished before they die.
Mountain and road bikes - either pedals or throttles are ridden by edgy old dudes. Offshore kayaks paddle with the sharks and rapid running Kamakazis run the summer rivers. They snowboard, ski, and climb mountains.
Edgy old dudes are the guys with attitude, money, and good health. A few years ago some older California surfers figured this out and created Old Guys Rule. They got the demography right and made good money because of it. Good on 'em.
You know some edgy old dudes. Everybody does. They are busting through life and redefining the edge. Go ahead and recognize them. They deserve it.
