The Sedona Excentric looks at the growing number of "biker bars" in and around Sedona. While the baby boomer population continues to increase and their desire for independence remains strong, their reflexes and vision slowly wane. Not wanting to give up their need for speed and the feel of wind flapping their cheeks, Sedona seniors are still taking to the streets al fresco. Always looking to wet their whistle and rinse the bugs from their teeth, boomer bars are opening where boutique retail establishments once covered the rent. Riders, who once bragged of riding a Shovelhead, Indian Chief or Sportster, are now talking trash about their Avenger, Destiny, Victory and the fact that Medicare picked up the tab. Bartenders at the original local popular watering hole, Oak Creek Brewery are now cutting off these aging road warriors after two pints or calling them a cab after taking away their remote control starter switches.
