Test rides, show n' shines, live music and motorcycles during bike week at Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach, Florida is famous for it's miles and miles of sandy roadway but the main attraction that draws the riders each year is Bike Week. I remember going to Daytona every year as a child while my father was a motorcycle dealer. There was never any guessing where we would be going for Spring Break because all the dealers went to Daytona. It's been a while since I have been but this year, I am going back but I'm all grown up now so I will really get to explore the fun.

In the soiree of mayhem that is planned, riding is the feature activity. Although it is a mainly cruiser style riding event, bikes of all genres show up and show off. There will be Show n'Shines, bike parades, manufacturer test riding events, unveiling of the all new 2014 models, plus live music at social venues up and down the beach where riders will converge and instantly make new friends as they speak the international language of motorcycles.

On my personal schedule is test riding new models. The 2014 Triumph America -865cc, the Triumph Thunderbird Storm - 1699cc, the 2014 Indian Vintage - boasting the all new Thunderstroke 111, the 2015 Victory Gunner - 1731cc and if all that isn't quite enough, I plan to throw in a couple of Harley's.

In fact, of the many activities currently scheduled for Daytona during bike week, the 8th Annual MDA Women's Ride on Tues., March 11 is also on the list.

I will be tweeting @MotorcyGal, and posting to my blog www.motorcygal.com as well as here to Eat Sleep Ride throughout my time at Bike Week. I will also be recording rides and hopefully meeting some of the 'riders close to me' utilizing the ESR App. If your going to Bike Week, be sure to leave a comment so maybe I can feature you and your ride in some of the photos.

See you there!
