Bike Week Is Here!
It’s been a long, cold winter in most of the US, but it’s always sunny in Florida. And that’s why every year around this time tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on Daytona Beach for Bike Week! Motorcycle.com will have our boots – and wheels – on the ground. Will you?
From Friday March 8 to Saturday March 16 Bike Week events are happening all over the Daytona area. Take part in the Treasure Hunt; visit Destination Daytona; the vendors and the Harley-Davidson dealership at Riverfront Park on Beach Street; the cruising, live music, and hot action on Main Street; the infamous Cole Slaw Wrestling at the Cabbage Patch Bar in Samsula; the Broken Spoke in Ormond Beach; and too many more kickass events to even think about listing them all here.
On Saturday March 9th at noon, Star will debut its brand new motorcycle to the public at the Yamaha Marketplace. Can’t wait to see it! Another of my personal Bike Week highlights will take place at Dirty Harry’s Pub on Main Street that same night, when Mike Wolfe, host of HISTORY Channel’s American Pickers, will help unveil the long-awaited, completely new Indian Motorcycle engine by Polaris. Should be a gas.
And on Saturday, March 16, the lunatics finally take over the asylum. Immediately after the Daytona 200, the Indian Motorcycle Spring Dash at Daytona allows riders to take their own bike for two laps around Daytona International Speedway’s 3.56-mile road course. Tickets are $30 per bike and include a commemorative patch.
As mentioned, I’ll be there to document the event for Motorcycle.com – so keep your eyes peeled here for all the action – and something special from Harley-Davidson….
Daytona Bike Week is always a blast, with something for everyone. What events are you guys looking forward to?
