If Daytona is where you want to go, my recommendation would be book your rooms on the north side of Orlando or even New Smyrna...30-40 mins down the road...better food, cheaper/nicer hotels, thou NEVER during lovebug season.

Ha....try riding through North Alabama on the way to Gatlinburg. Just before dark I stopped to drink a Red Bull and the guy at the convenience store said they had a night bug problem. I thought, "no big deal" until I got back out on the road. Holy CRAP!!!! He was 100% spot on! Did clear up just as I got into Georgia and then Chattanooga. It was mid June just this year.

Lot of broken items, overall cleansiness not so good. The place is not manged well
in my opinion. So when the two Daytona events come and they ask $300 a night or something like that now you know you better off going somewhere else. But, this is one man's oppinion based on one room experience.

Whaddaya expect from someone who charges $10 to park at his dealership?!

I started going to bike week in the late 60's. It was a real good time. Early to mid 80's vendors and price gouging started. Now it's a big phukin joke. Traffic jams and ******** everywhere. If you are into that great. To me it is more of an opportunity to spend money than a party. It's more like an expensive flea market. Just happened to be in NH last year during Laconia bike week. Pretty much the same deal. Beautiful riding up that way. Left Laconia after 30 min or so and rode in to Portland Maine. From there to Bar Harbor. If you never been to Bikeweek or Biketober fest you really should go. It's just not for me anymore.
