Greetings!
 As we mentioned in our last newsletter, things around the Thunder Beach office have been extremely busy. Usually during the month of February, we are trying to get things ready for the rally and prepping for our annual promotional trip to Daytona. This year we have been traveling all over promoting our rally to the thousands of bikers we met and working to bring the best and biggest vendors in the country down to your favorite beach-side rally. With four separate and successful promotional trips in the last month we have been to the Great American Motorcycle Show in Atlanta, the V-Twin Expo, the Dealer Expo, and the International Motorcycle Shows Greenville SC event, we're pretty sure that 2009 will be a banner year for the Thunder Beach Rally.

Thunder Beach Hits The V-Twin Expo in Cincy
Our trip to one of the largest Harley Expos in the world!
|
 One of the most exciting promotional trips we do every year is the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati, OH at the Duke Energy Center. If you're not familiar with this particular show, it is an industry only show where manufacturers from around the globe come to display their new hot products for the upcoming year. Many of the companies involved are also looking to find dealers, parts shops, and builders/mechanics that are interested in carrying the plethora of cool stuff around the event in their shop. This is also the place where they are considering which events they will attend in the coming year. Needless to say, it's total motorcycle overload but still a little laid back for attendees like us. We have gone for the past 6 or 7 years in order to promote your favorite beach side rally and to invite more of the best vendors in the business to come see how much fun we have at Thunder Beach!

| Thunder Beach Metric Tour
Kevin hits the Dealer Expo & International Motorcycle Shows!
|
 After our successful weekend at the V-Twin Expo, Kevin jumped in his rented car and hit Indianapolis for the Dealer Expo. This event is primarily for the Metric motorcycle Industry and everything from motorcycles to ATV's and even some rowdy looking dune buggys. Although it was freezing cold, Powersports dealers from around the world bundled up and braved the weather to hit the show.

 After being back at the beach for 4 whole days, Kevin jumped in his ride and headed to Greenville, SC to visit Cycle World's International Motorcycle Show. This open to the public event was really busy and Kevin was passing out Thunder Beach Flyers as fast as he could get em out of the box. We wanted to let the riders up in SC that Bikers Are Always Welcome Here!

| Goodbye To Our Good Friend Garry
Thunder Beach loses one of our biggest supporters.
|
 On February 4, 2009 our very good friend Garry Hundley passed away in his home. A supporter of Thunder Beach since its very inception, Garry was instrumental in the long term success of our beach-side rally, as well as helped to shape this community into the very popular tourist destination so many people have come to love. He was passionate about his work and it truly showed in the way that he pulled out all of the stops for the Thunder Beach Rallies. at his beach-side hotel the Sandpiper Beacon and the Tiki Bar. His dedication to our rally and his gracious friendship will be greatly missed not only by his many friends and loving family but by the Biker Community at large. The Hundley family has requested that any donations be made to the Panama City Beach Public Library in memory of Garry Hundley. Panama City Beach Public Library110 S.
