After you visit the HD shop on Beach Street, go two blocks behind it on Mary McCleod Bethune Blvd and check out the scene. Lots of bikers. Lots of good food being cooked right on the street. It is definitely different than all of the other biker hot spots.

You'll find plenty to see and do at Bike Week. If you like to ride, go up the beach on A1A to Flagler Beach, cut inland through the pine forests and potato fields to Hastings, and ride 13 up the east side of the St. Johns River. Cut off on 16 and return through St. Augustine. Do that and you'll be able to tell folks back home about the real Florida. Enjoy.
That is a great ride. I agree it is a must. Stop at the Outback Crab Shack for lunch or dinner. Just hang out great place.

JB's Fish Camp in New Smyrna is worth the ride for the food, atmosphere and entertainment.

Gotta spend a day on Main St... Then, I'd spend the rest of your time in Ormond beach.. Iron Horse, Boothill Noth, Broken Spoke, Rossmier, etc.. Ride up to St. Augustine, catch some poker runs and just enjoy yourself.. I'm kinda sick of Daytona myself as far as the Main St. traffic and laws...

The Beach Street area is great, lots of vendors, lots of babes, lots of choppers for sale, good food and friendly people. I like the ride south on Atlantic Ave down to Ponce Inlet, the light house and Inlet Harbor for shrimp. What ever you do, don't make the mistake and pop a wheelie, that will get you a night in the slammer and a hefty fine.(it is fun to visit Hess gas station near the race track and watch the rice-rockets playing and dodging the cops). Like everybody says...bring plenty of money.
