Daytona Bike Week: The Perfect Storm?

Or is it business as usual?

Good Signs:

(1) Bikes were all over the place way early this year.  Main Street was packed on Thursday. 

(2) Bikers are lining up to drop cash.  One bar in South Daytona is advertising "Dom", $250 a bottle-what?

Not So Good:

(1) Oil hits $107 bbl.  That's enough to scare the hell out of anyone, even bikers.

(2) Bikers from the northeast, and Canada are snowed in.  We've heard the stories from their family and friends who left early.  The stay behinds can't get out of the driveway.  We didn't believe it until seeing tv this morning. 

and something REALLY WEIRD?

(3) One of the foreign dude vendors is blowing out..Hoodies, 2 for$25.  That is not a beginning of the rally price.  They know what they're doing, so it makes you wonder. 

One thing's for sure, the bikers are out riding their buns off.  Biz at the usual locations is way off in the mornings, but comes roaring back in the afternoon &evening.  For example, yesterday's high was 80 something.  Everyone in the campground is sun burned, wind burned to the max.  We used spf 100 and still came up lookin' like a ripe mango!
