They are definitely at Destination in Ormond Beach, Main street and at the Speedway.
You can also check out the new Valk at the Honda tent at the speedway.
If you are looking for clothing, patches, hats etc, you can find a little better prices at the flea market on the corner of Tomoka Farms Rd and International Speedway Blvd.

Attended yesterday.....quick chat with Des from Ultimate Seats at the speedway and also ran into Santa....another quick stop at the Honda tent to see the new Valkyrie and another look at the F6B....like the F6B better....new CX1300 looks nice too.....Indian has some great looking scoots this year and Arlen Ness did a nice job on a Victory Vision.....Main Steet bars seemed a little busier this year from 2-5pm....Main Street did not seem as busy with bikes and more cars riding up and down.....increased police presence around 4:30pm probably in prep for the evening festivities.....30" and 32" front wheels seemed to dominate the most interest........

Kim & I will be riding over Thursday. We are going to ride to Rossmeyer's in the morning then head down US1 to Willie's Tropical Tattoo for the homebuilt ride in only chopper show around noon. That one is a don't miss for us! Afterwards we are riding over to the speedway to check out the new Valkyrie. Not sure where the vendors are nowadays, seems like the same old crap every year anymore. Still don't know why the hell they let cars drive down Main Street, kinda ruins the vibe for me.  |

Ref the cars on main Street .... Went over Sunday, they had the cars blocked on both ends of main street. Had cops and barricades redirecting the cars at the cemetery and the other end.
Ref the location of the vendors.... Should I assume the vendors specifically being discussed are Valkyrie parts vendors? I didn't see any at the Cabbage Patch, on Main Street or anywhere else. It's been years since I've seen vendors specific to the Valk but they used to be south of town in the parking lot of that Buffet Place (??) where we would all meet. Last year there were some vendors there but I didn't see anything Valk specific.
I hope to head back over Friday, Sat and Sun.

Well, after checking out the 2014 Valkyrie which to me looks like a regurgatated Rune, I think I'll keep my 99. Did like the looks of the F6B and a couple of others.
Stopped at Duffs for lunch some A--H--- stole my helmet off my bike while I was in there...First time in all the years I've been riding.. It was an old helmet I had deciced to trash but rescued it to see how a camera mount would work so not too upset about losing it...Just disgusted about the thief.
Cars were back on MAin St today but not bad. All in all a good day for a ride.

Man, that sucks Wayne! I had some thug park a foot over the white line in a parking lot this morning on the passenger side if his truck. Good thing his "woman" didn't try and get out. No way without hitting my bike. I just stood there and calmly put my helmet and gloves back on and rode off. Glad you guys got out for a ride. Hay  Jimmyt |

I was with my Brother-In-Law in Daytona last Saturday. It was his first time at Bike Week, so I was not able to make the Deland lunch. Are there any plans for meeting at Duffs at the Sunshine Mall on Rt. 1 for lunch tomorrow (Saturday)? If so, what time? I'd like to try and make it and see some of you again, and some new faces as well.

Went over to Daytona yesterday. Laid back kinda' ride over there, tons of bikes on the road. Went to the track to see the manufacturers bikes. Loved the new Indians, so classic looking! Makes ya' wonder why anyone would not buy one compared to a Hogley Ferguson..... Also, am in the minority here (Well, think Smokin' Joe likes it as well) as far as the new Valkyrie goes. I like it. The lines flow (for a naked bike) and when sitting on it the cheek cowls are not large looking at all. Like our Gen 1 bikes this one looks like a small frame with a huge engine in it. Loved the CTX 1300 as well.....gorgeous and sits very well. Wish I had money!! Saw quite a few Valks over there and talked to a fellow on one from New York who said he was a member here. Told him to get on the Florida section and join us. Maybe he will. Also saw a couple of Florida Valks in front of the ticket booth area of the track. I stayed over there and went to the AMA Flat Track races.....what a hoot!! First time I have ever seen them and it was well worth it. Again, saw a Valk parked a couple spots down from my bike and this one also was from Florida.....anyone here?? Got on the road back home at around 11PM. Nice cool ride home. No forest rats came out to play.  This is one of the new Indians. This one had a custom front end on it. Long and low. Loved the look.  Had to get a photo of me on the new Valk.....why not!  Outside the Honda exhibit I see this! A new F6B with a new front end on it. This was a beautifully done job and kits or installations are available through Reversedtrike.nl or contact Barry Benkert at West Coast Powersports over in Clearwater, Florida.  While in the pits at the flat track races I see this Triumph. Beautifully done and ready to rip.  ....And ridden by this cutie! A 95lb young lady with a world class smile and tons of talent. Watched her race later in the 450 class. Somebody took her out and she had to re start in the last position. In the remaining 5 laps she passed 7 riders.  And who said Harley isn't good for a darn thing?? Got a photo with some of their finest figures. Hey, they insisted! Those girls were tall too! |

My girlfriend and I rode over to Daytona early Friday morning on my Suzuki 90T Boulevard. I was in town for about 10 minutes before I started having engine problems. I took it over to Jim Walkers motorcycles in South Daytona, 9 hours later and an estimated repair bill of a couple thousand dollars, I decided to trade it in for a Valkyire. I love winter the bike. I should have bought one the first time around.

Welcome to the asylum BG.... you're gonna like it here................no really.... Glad you like her. BTW, Valkyries pick their riders, not the other way around.  She must have seen you coming in the door and caught your eye with her chrome! Yes, I am also afflicted with that same disease....... I am a chromosexual and dam proud of it. I am near Houston, but there is a great group of guys in FL to meet, ride with, and go on the occasional road trip with. Enjoy the new ride. Bonus points given for pictures of your new lady...

Sorry about the luck on the other bike BG. But glad you had a Valkyrie that called your name. Hope to see you soon at lunch. If it fits your schedule come eat with us in Alachua this Saturday. Posted in another thread re Conestoga's Restaurant.
