Default 10.22.05 Tampa 2 Daytona - Biketoberfest.

We're going to meet up at the 7-11 off Fletcher and 56th st. at 7:00 AM. The ride/route safety breifing will be at 7:15AM and we'll be leaving at 7:30AM SHARP! We're taking all back roads, so dont worry about sitting on the I-4 parking lot.

Along the way, we'll stop for breakfast/brunch. We should roll up to the speedway between 10:00-11:00AM. We can check out the test rides and hang out up there for a bit, then maybe ride into down town in the afternoon sometime, but we can decide what we want to do once we get there. I'm sure more events will be announced as the time gets closer.

The ride home will be a late night sprint once traffic lightens up.

Make sure your tires are in good shape for this ride. It never fails, every year someone has a questionable rear tire and "think" they can make it, but end up showing cords on the way to Daytona and have to buy an overpriced tire there. Do yourself a favor, if your tire is getting low on tread, replace it before the ride to Daytona.

We've been watching the Hurricane very closely and decided that this thing is still on.

LET'S DO THIS!!!

We had a great time out there. The ride to and from was worth everything. Despite the hurricane slowly closing in on us, we didnt see a drop of rain, except for a brief drizzle in Orlando.

Kawasaki high tailed it out of there by saturday morning before we got there. I guess they were scared of the hurricane.

Dog, You didn't hear what happen?

I went Saturday too. Daytona at the track was absolutely dead. I've went to Biketoberfest like the last 4 years, and if you have also, you can agree, it was dead. And it wasn't that nobody showed up or anything. We were told by like two guys in the Honda tents that worked for Honda this guy Bruce Rossmeyer, he's like the biggest Harley distributer in the country or something...anyways, he had plans to build the biggest Harley Dealer in the world, and Daytona officials for some reason weren't having it. So he told them "if you don't let me build this, I'll take bike week from you", and as nuts as it sounds, I think he pulled it off for Biketoberfest. If you got on 95 and took it to Ormond Beach you'll find that guys new Harley Dealer. It's huge and it was absolutely packed! I'm sure Main street was packed at night, but Ormond Beach ruled that place during the day.
