Daytona Rally

Back by popular demand are sites from past Daytona Bike Week (password "chrome") celebrations. Daytona is one of the largest Motorcycle Rallies along with Sturgis in South Dakota and Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. Daytona Bike Week is held in late February some years, but mainly in early March. For us in the Midwest, Daytona is just the ticket when helping to squash the blues of winter. For most of us, we are forced to either ship our rides or trailer them. In the past I have done both. Shipping is much faster as you contact a local shipper; I’ve used Haul Bikes now named, Daily Direct from the Milwaukee Area. Daily Direct will take your ride anywhere in the US you want to be. Of course there is a fee! The very first year I attended Daytona Bike Week (the year I picked up my 2000 Ultra in Orlando) the roundtrip fee was $450, which no doubt has raised due to gasoline increases. In 2004, when Cathy and I attended the Rally we shipped again with Daily Direct, then I purchased an open double trailer at Orlando Harley-Davidson. This trailer of ours, made by Rocket Trailers has been used to trailer bikes to Myrtle Beach in May of 2004 and Daytona in March of 2005.
