Bike Week 2007 was exciting for Coe and Daytona Vintage racing.. Coe not only raced for the 19th year on the high banks of Daytona, but they, (Coe and Vanessa) had the awesome privledge of having Michael Lichter of Easyriders Magazine visit their place on Saturday evening to check out Coe's machines. He liked it so much he came to watch Coe race on Monday in the Class C handshift series and then brought Dave Nichols, editor of Easyriders out for the pre-party on Thursday at Coe's . They also spoke with Willie G. and he signed Coe's race bike at the AHRMA event as well. Along with all of that excitement it was Coe and Vanessa's first Bike week together as a couple. They have worked together for years and after her divorce along with his they now are hoping to really make something happen. They are going to be opening an online vintage motorcycle parts store along with some other new projects that we will speak of at a later time.. Thank you to Ralph from Revphoto for the great pics of Coe racing and another heartfelt thanks to Dick Klamfoth, (winner of the Daytona 200 3 times back in the 40's and 50's. He really topped off bike week with his smile and neverending energy... more to come .....
