    Default Daytona Bike Week

    O.K., boys, girls, Ladies and Gentlemen!!! We have a grandson that is on a five year scholarship in the
    Army ROTC at Embry-Riddle in Daytona. He was on spring break and my wife and I decided to drive down
    and spend a few days with him. Would you believe that we had NO clue as what was happening? There
    were 1000's of motorcycles, all shapes, sizes, colors and LOUD!! It was quite an experience for us. We went
    to a couple of shops and I even got to set on a 2020 RT. NICE!!! My wife said to buy the white RT but the shop
    only had a the white one and a blue one and would not sell them. Gladly take my name and a check for later
    delivery. So, if you have never been there, please go and get your hotel rooms reserved now. A blast
    and you will have fun. It is a long drive and a lot of riders trailered their bikes down.
    Oh, if you want a lot of horse power, Can Am shop lot had several chevy V8 trikes for sale. I looked with
    greed and lust and my wife laughed at me and said no way!!!

    Bike Week is no more. It was ended Friday night. Corona Virus has come to town. One biker from out of town came here with it. He's from up north, but now in quarantine. Several deaths have occurred due to accidents also. Tom

    I would imagine that the crowds were down considerably from normal.

    I used to enjoy bike week when I lived in Daytona. Went back a few times after joining the AF, but it just kept getting bigger till it had spilled over into the adjacent towns. Not as fun for me, too many people and too much stupidity.

    So true Warsuul, I live a couple hours from Daytona, been there done that, but no more. Why would I go there and pay $6 plus a hefty tip for a beer at Froggy's?

    I stayed home (winter home about an hour away from Daytona) this year. Maybe next year. I'll bring the Spyder down next year if I can find a trailer.
