Yep. I hauled buttup there this AM and managed to get back home before this stuff hit. Sure was a sauna though and got into a solid pour for a couple of miles around Oak Hill on the way home - just kept on a'keepin on and didn't last long. The missus and I are just going to skip tomorrow and trySunday at Destination Daytona.

Thenthe HOG rally is here in Cocoa Beach next week - maybe a lot ofthe same vendors? We'll see.

 

Daytona
I heard its busy there .. Is it ?

 

Arrived Daytona around 10:00 yesterday AM. Started at the racetrace where there were demo rides, a lot of the custom bikes (American Ironhorse, Big Dog, Borguets and many of the smaller manufacturers). There were some vendors, but not as many as in the past. Next, wentto Destination Daytona - lots of vendors, all the major ones as well as the new, huge, permanent J&P shop. Lots to see at Destination Daytona, but got pretty crowded by late afternoon. Of course the dealer was very busy. Tons of bikes on hand, some good prices on 2007 leftovers without extras, butquite a few '07 and 08'shad thousands of $ of extras already installed.

Main St was busy last night, but not nearly as crowded as I have seen it. Then it rained and things quieted down a bit, except in the bars.

Hit Beach St. this morning, not a lot to see there anymore. Back to the track for demo rides andthen to Destination Daytona. It was much more crowded than yesterday. Had to be home this evening, but saw hundreds of bikes headed to Daytona. I am sure it is going to be very crowded tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night will be crazy. Sunday will probably be crowded early, but start to thin as people head home in the afternoon.

 

We went back up yesterday too and I second what Mr. Clean said.

We'll probably go back one more time this AM and hit Main Street again for some minor gheedunk typejunk.... damn -I bet I have over 100 ball caps and coozies [:@].

 

well we're home. weather was actually great !! hit 30 min light rain going up fri nite-none all day sat-light drizzle 12-7 pm sun-hit major downpour on side trip to relatives nad had to stay the nite.LOVE this bike in the rain-very stable ride! had a great time and planning for march now. no troble or accidents that i saw. good time!

 

Not much in the local news. They found a dead woman and a guy got assaulted. No deaths due to wrecks reported. All in all seems to have been more subdued than in the past. The rain may have put a damper on for some. We left Saturday AM for the drive home, only 40 miles.
Main strret was busy Friday night. Had a good time.

 

Spent all day Thursday - did all the sites except the speedway, crowd was light, but the weather Thurs was darn hot. Had a good time even though I had to leave and be back at work on Friday....
