Default Daytona Bike Week 2012

Just returned from my first Daytona Bike week. I will have to see we will return. Had an amazing time. Ate at Down the Hatch a couple times very good food and atmosphere. Also enjoyed the nightlife on Main Street, that was definatley a good time. Enjoyed a road trip to the Keys while there, now back to the real world.

THis was my 5th trip, first with new camper. Stayed at Nova family campground in port orange. Had the best time yet. Was with 10 other people. Weather was perfect.
Saw some great sites and lots of freaks, gotta love it. Anyone see the dude walking around with the tattoo of his face on the back of his head ?

My third trip, best weather for me so far. Main street traffic was jacked up compared to previous years, WAY too many cars.

Yep! I wish they move the event's days, so it does not fall into the same time as spring break.

Funny, we did see the guy with the face tattoo'd on the back of his head. We where at Boothill outpost when we saw him. Also bought candy from the Scouts that where trying to earn money for camp there. That was a crazy week but can't wait until next time.

First timer, couldn't of had a better time. Stayed in Crescent Beach and rode A1A to and from Daytona everyday(42 miles each way). Spent some time in St Augstine, Main Street, and Destination Daytona. We finished out the week at the Jackyl concert. We finally seen some boobage at the Broken Spoke. Would of liked to check out the Iron Horse and the White Eagle. Also missed out on Cabage Patch, the swap meet, and the Speedway. I will be going again. Cops where out in force, but didn't seem to interfere, just maintained the sanity. You guys are right, its hard to stand out in that crowd.
