Tired & will post pics & stories later.
Hung out with Blake & company at the 200. Pics & stories with racers. Hot women, hotter bikes, etc.

50/50 mix of sportbikes & HD's is what it looked like. Saw lots of Buells..wait till you guys see the pics of the slider mounts I snapped a pic of on an XB as well as a killer S1 with an underseat exhaust.

The number 1 sportbike in Daytona has to be the Busa, must have been 10,000 of them there..many with stretched swingarms, nitrous, etc.

The bikes are unbelievable the amount of time & $$ that has been put into them.

Thats all for now, im bushed.

I still have to find the pics Jose has been posting on a daily basis. It was great hanging out with everyone for the whole 9-10 days, its going to suck having to go back to work wednesday.

Our home for the week, here we are packing her up for the trip down.

Coolice leading us out of town


Fiery wasting no time checking out the master suite


Stopped for gas at Hee Haw fireworks, supposedly Grandpa Jones from Hee Haw lives 1/2 mile away.


Fiery making out with the guy on the front stoop


And of course you also need the local No tell motel


Troubles in trailerville.
Coolices business partner was trailering his 24' with 8 bikes in it & one of the tires decided it no longer wanted to be a part of the trip, sheared all the studs off but didnt cause any other damage.

Cut em off clean


No damage to the 8 bikes inside


Coolice & Bill waiting for the trailer to be repaired


Then of course in typical hillbilly fashion nobody could find a greasecap in the area so we improvised: D


Our "fudpucker fix"


Fiery driving the big rig


The local hotspot in Daytona every night. Lots of hot bikes & cars.


Jakes Repsol CBR1000RR with the TI Force system.


This was literally 2 minutes after we had ridden into town saturday afternoon.

I had something similar happen with a rental trailer for my car. Luckily, it was a dual axle setup as well. In my case, the entire drum assembly came off on I-64. Didn't even notice it happen. Pulled over at a Hardee's to eat, and when I came back out, I noticed the wheel missing. Sheared off right where the drum assembly meets the axle.

Dyna...Thanks for the pics!

That was the best photo essay I have ever seen concerning Bike Week. You showed the stuff, especially from the social angle, that others miss. Am looking forward to seeing more of your pics.

Looks like y'all had a great time and that is what counts.

Dyna, Thanks so much for the pics. I've been to Daytona bike week four times, but haven't gone in several years. I can almost feel the electricity in the air from your photos. Thanks again. I've got to go next year!
