The annual Daytona Bike Week held every spring is the unofficial kickoff to the motorcycle riding season. This event usually sees about 500,000 motorcycling enthusiasts attending and the Daytona Beach economy will normally take in about $300 million.
This is a definite entry on your bucket list if you consider yourself a keen motorcyclist. Once you get to your first Daytona Bike Week, you are going to want to keep going back every year.
Before the 2009 Daytona Bike Week, the event organizers had concerns that the event would be affected negatively by the state of the economy. They were not wrong to be worried but only about the number of attendees. Many of the hotels on Daytona's main drag, which are normally filled to capacity during bike week, had vacancy signs flashing throughout the entire event. However, apart from this, there were no other signs that anything was amiss.
Daytona Bike Week 2009 featured the usual motorcycle races across town at the Daytona International Speedway. This was an important part of the Bike Week as it was these races that were the cornerstone of the Bike Week and which helped to establish it more than seventy years ago. Another great thing about this Bike Week was the fact that a new record for the number of demo rides provided was set by Harley Davidson. Unofficial numbers put the daily number of at about 2,000. Which, over the course of the full week equates to a lot of rides.
Of course, Daytona Bike Week 2009 also featured the usual party atmosphere. The main drag saw the usual custom-made bikes, half naked women grinning broadly, as well as music and alcohol galore. In terms of attendance, the promoters were right but they were not prepared for the fact that those who attended were still provided the same great time that other years provided.
If you were there, and you forgot to buy your official T-shirt, you're in luck. Thankfully the Online Biker Shop will be able to help you out in this regard. Even if you weren't there, you can get in on the action by getting your Daytona By Week 2009 stuff today.
