Well Peeps:
If you're one of my faithful followers you know that this time of year I celebrate BikeWeek in Daytona. This year is no different.
Now being a 25+ year
Florida rider 50 degree morning temperatures don't do it for me.
So biking up north Wednesday morning to watch the goings on at the Cabbage Patch it was a nippy and brisk start to the day.
Didn't seem to discourage other bikers though as the place was jumping:
Of course BikeWeek is the time to trot out that expensive iron you've been investing in.
This guy must have come in from out west. Note the cowboy motif:
This one needed to pick a color! (Just not my taste)
Then there' Green for St Paddy's Day (another big plus this year)
This one from Iowa maybe, looks like a farm boy style:
Of course there's the popular "wide" back end look (I meant the tire)!! Sheesh
Wouldn't be complete without an Indian:
Now the Cabbage Patch is known for the Cole Slaw Wrestling and the crowds were jockeying early for the best viewing spots:
With the cooler than normal Florida March weather the ladies had to choose their wardrobes carefully in order to be stylish but stay noticeable and be warm as well:
(Well most worried about staying warm)!
Beer Girls in sweatshirts weren't very stimulating for me so no pictures to show!
The guys however don't have to worry so much about wardrobe. This guy hasn't changed his since the 50's!
This one still thinks it's Mardi Gras:
Note the beads:
No bike rallye is worth attending without good eats, plenty here to choose from here:
As a surprise there were some special guest appearances:
and the occasional "special" bike:
Anyway at my age I have to pace myself . . .
So in a while I headed back home to rest up for the next trip.
Stay tuned!
Marc
