Weekends on a Harley – The Last Resort

Harleys are meant for weekends!  To get on the open road, feel the wind in your hair – and ride.  Nowhere in particular, its all about the ride.

I ride an 883 Sportster which is orange and black, the motor has custom cams and will push you back on throttle.   Usually I ride to Daytona with friends, hitting several bars on the way to meet new people.  This weekend we stopped at the Last Resort (home of the cold beer and killer woman).   The “killer woman” being Eileen Wournos!

For those that don’t know, Eileen Wournos was a serial killer in Central Florida.  Charlize Theiron portrayed her in the movie “Monster”.   There is a casket outside the door that is supposedly where she slept, while living homeless at the Last Resort, but she actually slept in an old car seat.  

The Last Resort is owned by Al Bulling, and during the time Wuornos hung out at Bulling´s establishment, no one at the bar knew that the scruffy hooker was routinely killing her johns with a .22-caliber gun she kept in her purse. She stayed in a cheap motel down the road when she had the money, and slept on an old car seat in back of The Last Resort when she didn´t, including the night before she was arrested.

It was cold and “you can´t put people on the street,” the proprietor says.

“She never propositioned anyone in the bar, and she paid for her own drinks,” adds Bulling, who´s kept the car seat at his house as a souvenir, and still has the bra Wuornos gave him to display along with all the other donated women´s undergarments that decorated his business until recently. Held together with safety pins and a band-aid, he now keeps it in a dated plastic Ziploc bag.

Truly a place to visit!
