RE: Daytona Bike Week
John, I agree 100%. The locals have taken a license to hunt down the bikers and extract as much $ as we have. Do I need to spend 3 to 5 X the amount of money to rent a room? I think not. In the 70's & 80's Daytona was OK until they thought it was their right to start extorting.
I have a better idea, Leesburg until the locals once again start taking advantage & getting too smart. I was arrested for DUI last year, the only problem is I do not drink nor do I do drugs. When I went to court, the evidence supported my claim of 0% of each. (urinalysis and breathalyzer). The case was thrown out by the Judge. $3,500 later and 2 part days in jail of which I can not get back. My crime was driving at 1:am in Port Orange coming back from dinner in Daytona. No More Daytona for me! I guess the cops did not figure on a person (working on the %'s) who does not drink & et. al at night. My 2 coppers

RE: Daytona Bike Week
Most major events have deteriorated to the point where it is just an extortion racket. I will never go to Sturgis again or any major eventlike that becauseit's just so crowded. I am always looking for someplace different to go and this year am going to Moab Utah on the weekend of the 23rd of August. I have never been there but it appears to be a small rally with outstandingscenery. I do drink moderately but the last thing I need is the expense of an out of state jail.
