For Daytona bike week. Who is going?
Last year was our 1st year going there. We had a blast but we flew down leaving my bike home which was the dumbest thing I have done,but not this year my bike is coming.

Will you be riding it down?

If not, I recommend shipping it down.

If you trailer it, be prepared for all the guy/gals on BMW's beeping, pointing and laughing at you.

I've been going there for at least 10 years and have never seen that happen. Trailers are a very common sight in Daytona for winter bike week.

It's on the drive down I-95 from the N.E. where the teasing occurs.

No big deal. Just kind of funny to see all the chromed up hardware getting towed down for "Bike Week".

Why should I ride my bike down to Bike Week when I can tow it?

Welcome back! Hope you have a safe trip and helluva good time. Trailering to Daytona is popular because a large number of bikers come from somewhere where the weather is still lousy. Ride safe!

If it wasn't still winter in the north east , I would be riding down. Once we get further south
I plan on riding it the rest of the way. As far as the BMW riders I have a finger for them. We have a in closed trailer.
I can't wait to get the hell out of Upstate N Y and get some where their is Sun an warm weather
