Fantastic pictures of Daytona, JoJo. I had a small 35mm camera that I could have taken many pictures with, but alas, I didn't. Even today, with the ease of digital cameras it never occurs to me to take pictures. So, I have to deeply thank you, and everyone else that takes the time, and makes the effort to post pictures that everyone can enjoy. . . And it is very much appreciated.

Great pics JoJo! I love old bikes and pretty much all old bike photos, even the ones that seem like they're from the Dark Ages.
I have to say though, that those Daytona pics bring back memories of my younger days.

When I first started going to Bike Week in Daytona in the '70s it had an 'outlaw' presence that wasn't always pleasant

However, it did give the event an edge that has now been replaced with posers, and ding-bats. Looking at the picture that JoJo posted makes you wish you had been part of that scene where it was about real motorcycling and escaping the cold end of a Northern winter.

I started going to Daytona Speed Week in the 1970's also Eric. Sure, there was a 1% character roaming around, but it always seemed to be non- threatening. That was a whole different world back then. In the later years, most of the people attending Bike Week didn't even know there was racing to kick off the week!!! Sometime around the later 1980's, the Daytona Police were busting everyone for practically any excuse. Some of the larger and more popular Motorcycle rags hinted at abandoning Daytona Beach, and moving it to another Florida coastal city. When the Daytona Police got wind of that proposal, they quickly fired the current Police Chief. Then, they had publicity photos in Easy Rider & Iron Horse with the new Chief on a brand new Harley-Davidson. Hahaha. I recall it was probably in 1992-93. Someone's bright idea was to ship old fuel to the Daytona area gas stations. By Wednesday, you couldn't find a big twin spark plug! These pictures and videos show how it was back then. I sure do miss camping, girls skinny-dipping, and the late night bonfires on that Beach. The Beach...Was Main Street, only a lot bigger and More Fun!!! **Enjoy the way~back machine life-style.
