RM trip Continued, DAY 3!

thanks,

Day 2.5

BBW. (Black Bike Week), Bethune Cookman Blvd. Man it was off the chain. The music was blasting loud Old School. The barbeque grills were going full bore, there were folks dancing on the sidewalks and the bikes were kill'in. Custom Harley type cruisers, metric cruisers, Harleys, Wings, Drag bikes, Trikes and one BMW. No I did see a LT or two. The really cool thing was that most of the brothers and sister's bikes were customized. There were bikes with LCD's showing music videos as the music played from six speakers and a subwoofer. Every bike you could imagine was there. And there were so many lady riders, both young girls and grandmothers alike. Some of them doing burn-outs!

Day 3

I rode to the regular Daytona Bike Week Location at Daytona Beach. Not to talk negative, but it was a totally different vibe. Stop and STOP traffic! No place to park, Beer and Liquor stands everywhere, Too crowded to walk, nasty looking women in bathing suits, and rock and roll music blasting everywhere. Don't get me wrong, someone was having fun, but the vibe was wrong for me. At BBW it was a friendly, almost family like, block party atmosphere centered around motorcycles and custom cars and trucks. At the Daytona Bike Week on the beach it was a cold commercial and overcrowded type atmosphere. If Sturgis is anything like Daytona Bike week I probably won't ride 2500 miles each way to stand in line to buy a beer from a 60 year old lady in a bikini.

Now as for BBW on Bethune Cookman Blvd., I will probably go back to Daytona to hang out again. I'll be checking to see if a similar party happens at Myrtle Beach, or during the Biketoberfest. It's was a fantastic experience.
