Daytona Bike Week

Is anyone going to Daytona Bike Week? Can anyone who has been comment of the festivities. It seems to be the earliest thing going on where you can get outta town and hit some warm weather and do some demos. I wouldn't mind taking it in, but wanted to see what you all thought. Most of the trip would be getting there and coming back, but would still be fun.

Daytona Bike Week

It's just 90 miles from me so I go 3 or 4 times each year. Sunday the 6th I will be at the Honda tent for a Goldwing riders get together.

Seems only fair that some one should set up a get together for the Nomad riders also. I am available anytime but that one Sunday as long as the temp makes it above 50 and it ain't raining.

Usually the test rides book up very quick so you want to be there that first Sat or Sun to sign up for them and often you will be looking at 2-3 days wait. There is a great pre bike week get together in Deland that we usually hit each year also.

I'm caging my brother and I over on the first Saturday. He doesn't have a bike down here and I don't think I can find one for him to use that day. I will be in Daytona on Friday, March 11 and probably on the 12th with the wife. If we want to set something up for the second Saturday, I'd be more than happy to arrange it.

I'll be starting a new job next week. I don't know my schedule yet. As always, I'm up for a get together. Keep me posted.

Just so we don't let this thing die I'll do another post.

I think a lot of people can't do the meet durring the week because of working. So I think it's got to be one of the two weekends. Also,I think most people try to go the first weekend.

So Ron, if you are coming over Saturday on the first weekend with your Brother do you want to make that the day we all meet? I know you won't be on your bike but.... if it's cold we will all just envy you anyway.

This is still on my radar. Going to depend on weather, leaving and coming back. Any advice on hotels? I will probably have to wait until very close so I am sure the ones nearby will be booked. I would not mind riding 1hr or so each day if I was that far away. I would still be in FL and would stay at the event most the day, so it would be all good.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it this year.

Anyone who hasn’t been needs to give it a try.

Some love it some hate it.

The girls in my sig pic are from last year’s (69th).

Me and my boys stayed pretty much sauced the entire time.
Sat. night, Main St on the rowdiest night of the year in the rowdiest place on earth and we got kicked out of a bar for being too rowdy!
Honest I only touched it I didn’t grab it!!!!!!
Have fun!!!!!!!

My brother will be riding subcloser's green on green over to Daytona.

I think the first Saturday, March 5, will be a good day for our meet and eat.
