Daytona Bike Week (end) - Feb. 26-29, 2009




When I arrived home on Thursday, Rudy had the RV packed, Bike loaded and we were ready to roll.  We arrived at Crazy Horse Campground, unloaded the bike and settled in for the evening around 9 p.m. after Rudy fixed a great dinner.
Friday, Feb 27 - We were up and ready to roll and see the sites by 9:30 a.m., so off we went with our first stop on the outside of Daytona International Speedway to visit all the Bike vendors, leather sale tents and all the other miscellaneous items that Bikers just have to acquire.  We then headed towards to The Loop and ended up at Flagler Beach for lunch at Joseph's Italian Restaurant across from the Flagler Beach pier.  They have the best italian food around! We then rode back along the beach to Daytona, explored some on Beach Street, walking through Daytona Harley Davidson.  Later we drove out to Destination Daytona for more sights, and window shopping.  Rudy did find some new handle bar grips and some "Sharks Gills" that he will be adding to our bike this week. (more chrome)....
We couldn't ask for better weather with sunny, blue skies and just a light breeze.
Saturday, again we got up and hit the road early cruising again down Beach street making our way across the bridge to Main Street - just for the experience - There are bikes everywhere and there are all kinds of bikes, pretty bikes, not-so-pretty bikes and all kinds of riders too!
It is always a good experience to come and be here for a couple of days, enjoying the sights, sounds and watching people.  After a ride to Ponce Inlet to the Light House and a stop along the beach, we  drove down 1A to New Smyrna and discovered a Gold Wing Rally so we visited for awhile and then headed back to the RV.
The weather wasn't looking too good for riding on Sunday, so we  decided to load up the bike and get things ready to roll in the morning bright and early.
We arrived home and totally unloaded and everything put away by 11:30 a.m. (just a little rain on the way home).  Rudy fixed a great dinner and now we are ready to watch the NASCAR race.
It was a great weekend get-away and time together.

See ya on the road!
