I got back yesterday. I rode to and from NJ it was great ride. It started little cold but warmed up quick once I hit south of Delaware. I was truly disappointed although this was my first bike week in Daytona, I know it will be my last. Only good thing was Main Street with its all craziness other then that it was disappointing. My first trip to Sturges in 2016, I really enjoyed it. I was hoping Daytona will be like that to but not even close. If all works out will be heading out to Sturges this year as well.

Daytona was a blast!
The rented van was super easy to load and strap the bikes to, plus we even had room to sleep. I would do it all again 100% no trailers to worry about and got 17mpg.

main street was awesome, went to froggys every morning before 9am to get the morning drink. Went to the Ironhorse and saw DAC play (he’s easy my top outlaw singer)

took a day trip down to space coastal harley to get a shirt and enjoy the nice weather.

looks like bike week is now bagger week, as we only saw 3 other 1200 irons like my wife’s bike and I didn’t see any other “72s” like mine.

10/10 would go again!

Glad you had a blast! Been going since the late 70’s, it’s a rite of spring for a lot of us old east coast bikers.
