We went both weekends. Came home to work Monday-Wednesday, we are only 65 miles from Daytona
. Stayed at my sister's condo in Astor which is only 30 miles from Daytona. Seems after as many Daytona bike events we attend the more we like hanging out at the condo on the St. Johns River.
We were back by dark most every night!
Attendance seemed to be pretty good considering. The traffic at Destination Daytona & Main St. was as bad as I have ever seen it but most other places it seemed off a bit. The vendor count was down for sure. Most I talked to said lots of lookers, not as many spenders this year!
We had fun non the less.............
Halifax River pic.
Went to the Deland Bikefest 1st Saturday.
Saw Tom (sealskiner} hangin' out there.
Hung out by the track 1st Saturday too.
A woman & her Valk!
Second weekend, actually Thursday, I reached a milage milestone in Daytona.
Went to Willie's Tropical Tatoo to check out the homemade "chopper" show. Didn't find as many of the inline 4 chops as I would have liked to see. Tons of V-twink chops though.
Found cool inline job anyways.
Went to the Triumph demo truck & had a gander at the new '10 Thunderbird. Nice bike but from what I saw the Valk is safe!
Went to Des' new Ultimate seat store a Destination Daytona. Lookin' good! Des said business was down a bit but he expects to do well when the economy comes back.
Second Saturday we rode down to Sebastian Inlet with Kim's brother {who lives in nearby Melbourne} to his favorive biker bar Earl's. Nice place right on the water. Parked across the street right on the water. Nice relaxing 250 miler that day!
