looks like hd riders are the same everwhere,up themselves.if all bike riders stuck together we would have a lot of votes to get better road conditions for riders but when we have many splinter groups we have no voting power.regards to all.

I don't know if you could honestly have a good time down there. Unless like others do, catch a race and head home.

Man, you would think they would at least have noticed the TL was a twin. I went to a antique motorcycle show in Snohomish WA once on my ZX11. Mostly Harleys and a couple old Triumphs. It was like I was invisible at a beard and leather convention!

Hey I am curious, during this week of Nascar at the track, it must be even worse than bikeweek? Crowds and crazy drunk folk.

About the same. I stay away from Daytona during Speed Weeks, unless we have tix.

I can do that easily. One CCT and bag of Push-pins set aside for Flblackbird.

I want to have alittle time to check out the venders before the races.

Thank you sir. The best setups are usually right in front of the Speedway.
There's a pic of me & my 2 wheeled baby (the 2 legged one will be @ the race w\me) in my profile if ya wanna know who to look for.

Oh yea. I have been many times. We will be riding in the back gate then out the front gate to check the venders out and I am going to pick up a set of Ear Plugs from a vender that is suppose to be on the East end on the venders section. Already set it up. Plus I will be looking for another specific ball cap to replace my existing one I got about 5 years ago there. And also a replacement front license tag for my truck since my current one has faded from Red to Pink

flblackbird · 02-16-2007, 10:53 PM

Just put the pink one on the wife's

flblackbird · 02-27-2007, 5:20 PM

Mine are waiting @ will call. Did u spend the extra $15 & get the Fan Zone passes John?

MATT37XX · 02-27-2007, 8:18 PM

I went a few years ago with four other friends, and had the worst week!!!

Food and anyplace to eat was always packed, and crap service everyplace we want.

As far as the cruise down the big Main street, give me a break, I could have a better time hanging out at the dentists office.
The raceway was cool, but for the $1000.00 bucks I spent that week I'll just stick to the good old Speed T.V.

rdkng88 · 02-27-2007, 9:46 PM

HANKSXXX · 02-27-2007, 10:43 PM

To add to an earlier post, or perhaps correct it, the Supersport and Superstock races will be run on Thursday. The Superbikes are scheduled for 11:30 on Saturday and the Daytona 200, with those "wild" 600 cc Formula Extreme bikes, will follow the lunch break. Thats the latest I read and would suggest that anyone going should confirm the schedule ...Have fun, guys and girls, and please ride safe...Hank

flblackbird · 02-28-2007, 9:54 AM

yea Hank,
Superstock @ 3:45, & Supersport @ 4:45 Thursday.
No on track activity Fri.
Superbike @ 11:15, & Formula Extreme Daytona 200 @ 2:00 Saturday
