I've lived in orlando for a long time and have seen bike week evolve into a harley poser fest over the last 10 years. back in the 70's/early 80's it was a good mix of motorcyclist types and was pretty fun, now its a waste. One of my friends dragged me over there the other day and as we walked around the speedway I was looking at the posers in black. 98% of them were wearing their uniform, black harley tees with leather chaps and engineer boots and there were no wear marks on the chaps and boots, most looked like new. They buy these 25K pcs of chit and pull them out twice a year, bike week and biketoberfest. many do not even ride to daytona, they trailer there and parade around town. a few you can tell are real riders and I respect that even though I cannot stand the harley thing.
why is it that the harley people get away with straight pipes that blow your ears out but if you have a loud sport bike or car the cops are all over you?
I'm not there this year, but have gone probably five or six times in the last decade.
Shtuff I've noticed about Daytona/ Harley fest.
It doesn't seem like many of these folks actually go to the races, they like to go these
many odd roadside tattoo, bike vendor/ beer/boobs/ music/bbq things that happen along
the country roads outside Daytona. The road-bike races at the Superspeedway always
seemed sort of dead, very little spectators presence. There is one (1) hot chick for
every five thousand (5000) bikers at Daytona. True. Der Sausage Haus.
