High Octane Saloon, Crystal River, FL
On Saturday, September 4th, the High Octane Saloon on US 19 in Crystal River, Florida, held their grand opening. Several hundred bikes were in and out through the day with a couple hundred parked filling the lots. An adjoining lot for cars was also filled. Hard to say just how many people were there, especially since many were coming and going. The place is huge and it was full, all day and night.
