Bikers Strip Down?
I-95 Run:
Freezing my bolts off. Seriously. My friends didn't recognize me, wearing a full face brain bucket for cover. In case you haven't heard, this winter has been a tad on the cool side.
Some think it's hot!
Out past the race track, eight HD's all Tennessee license plates. They're stripped down for tanning. It's maybe 62 degrees, but no wind, and this is 11am. brrrr..
A really white chick wearing a skimpy bikini is the first person noticed as we crawl over the intracoastal waterway bridge connecting Beach Street with Main. She must be from Buffalo. Bikini girl is luxuriating in the sun. Off the bridge and at the first light, Main Street looks packed. The sidewalk shuffle is in full swing, not quite as crowded as on the weekend. Takes 2 runs to find a parking spot. People have bags. Looks like some are buying stuff. Full Moon Saloon still has the $2 Bloody Marys. Wise Guys threw us under the bus, but they have $3 beers. Neither one gives ya a straw. A straw shortage?
Beach Street is really happening. You get the feel that Daytona wants to promote this area as party central. Are you sitting down? They're flagging bikers in four locations for off street parking...F-R-E-E. There are a lot of bikes there, in fact, with all of the bikes on Main Street, plus all the bikes on nearby Beach Street, you'd have to think this is a pretty good turnout, being Monday.
Daytona Speedway-lots of people, bikes there, even early in the morning. Really, more people than I figured for a weekday. Didn't have time to pull in, but couldn't get over how may bikes were parked.
US1 North's Ironhorse Saloon has a decent crowd, but nowhere near as packed as downtown. We dropped in to see "Scary Larry", (see past blog), & soak up the ambience that the "horse" is. If it's cold and nasty, this is also a good place to get out of the wind/an/or/rain, maybe even have a dry spot to park the steed.
Tomorrow: Get out the rain gear.
