Main Street – Bike Week Daytona

I really believe that “cruisin’ the strip’ is universal. It almost seems obligatory for every bike, and there are a couple hundred thousand of them, to drive down Main Street in the perpetual traffic jam. For nearly a mile from the Intercoastal to the ocean you might find room for two bikes, but not together. Every imaginable color, chop, shape, size, make, modification, look, loudness and style lines the street in a heterogenous undulating sea of handlebars. It’s really amazing to see so many different bikes juxtaposed. From the alligator bike with a real gator head on the front fender and a gator skin seat to the fully custom chopper with every piece made for just one bike to the track ready drag bike complete with a wheelie bar; if someone’s dreamed it up, it’s probably been down this street. People everywhere seem to love to see and be seen, and since no two motorcycles are identical the sights are plentiful.
