This. We can pull up are pants and grump about the good 'ole days or we can accept and move on. I haven't been to Bike Week in 5 years. When I do go back, it will be to see old friends and reminiscence. The only thing that I can't accept are those radio riders who think we want to hear their music while cruising Main Street.

I was supposed to be there Wed-Sun last week but then had a business trip to Miami on Mon-Tues. I drove down Sunday the 27th and was going to fly to Miami and back to Daytona. My business trip got cancelled so I was there the whole week before. The weather was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The bikes started to really roll in on Thursday. I was able to go to most places with lighter crowds which was nice. But since my buddy couldn't go, I got a little bored. Left on Saturday afternoon. Glad I picked the right week weather wise.

I bought my first Harley in 1983, a Sportster. I rode it to Daytona , had a good time.
Came home and traded it on a SuperGlide.
Just got back the other day from Daytona on my StreetGlide..
Idiots in cages are what make me nervous..

This is Florida so it's not rare to get rain during Bike Week. Plus being right on the cusp of the start of "monsoon season." Our rainy season will start in April and we will get at least some rain almost every day until the beginning of October. Coupled with the heat and high humidity which often makes being out on the road in the sun almost unbearable when it doesn't rain. So much for year around riding, eh?

Well, were riding to Sturgis this year during the rally, 1:400 miles each way. We are riding baggers. Ill be sure to wear my at straight, & above the ears, and pull my pants up.
Call me skeptical but Im doubting that Sturgis is filled with the rapper wanna bes as a few mentioned.
