Wow!! What a great 70th Annual Daytona Bike Week! Just when you think Daytona Beach couldn't make the Bike Week event any better, they do it again. The Daytona International Speedway hosted a great venue which included factory demo rides by Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Can Am, Spyder, Triumph, Boss Hoss, Victory, and Harley Davidson. They had over 1000 vendors selling everything you can imagine to make motorcycle riding more comfortable, more fun, and more exciting. Parking was perfect, the crowds were massive, and the weather for the week was special ordered for riding. The Supercross, the Flat Track, and the Daytona 200 races were awesome and many took advantage of a ride around the track Friday night on their own motorcycles.
It was a long winter and the media has been crying about the economy but you wouldn't have known it among the motorcycle community. Folks were out and riding, spending money, eating good, and just having a good ole time. Everyone was in great spirits and it sure made for a great week.
Gearuphelmets.com set up at the track and sold a few helmets and riding gear including the new Powerlet Heated Gear and the more than ever popular Scala Rider bluetooth headsets. By all accounts it was a very successful show and we can't wait to get back this coming Biketoberfest.
If you ever get a chance to go to Daytona, and you should, be sure to make the track a must destination. You can camp at the race track infield, see all the races, and be close to the beach and the famous Main Street.
Next stop for Gearuphelmets.com is Leesburg Bikefest coming up April 8, 9, and 10th. We'll be set up on Market Street downtown Leesburg, Florida.
