   Well I just got back from the Daytona bike week! Wow, there was so many custom bike booths that all I did was spend 5 hours at the speedway!
   
   I did not even get down to the beach or main street, where the real biker parties are. So I will have to go back one more time.
   
   Here's a sample of the pics I took. The small pictures here do not do the bike justice at all, you really need to see them full size.
   
   I will make some picture galleries and videos in my leather site in a few days. Very cool paint jobs!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   I have no idea how that last one got there!

   Hmmm, did everyone miss this post I made yesterday or does nobody care about bikes?

   Nice pics, Bill! Those bikes are crazy! We were over there once during Bike week (for a bowling tournament); it's amazing how many people attend.

   ...nice shots...i like the choppers - the design work and paint jobs; pretty creative...uncomfortable to ride for a long period - but they look good....expensive too!

   Just got back home from a fun day out. Thanks for the comments. I should go back tomorrow and take videos of the real bike week hot spot, main street.
   
   But it gets so crowded, it takes 30 minutes to drive 4 miles.
   
   I will see how I feel in the morning, I really need some good videos for my leather site.
   
   BTW to really see how great these bikes look, click on the two links below that take you to full size pictures of two of them.

   Great pics Bill. It looks like I would have enjoyed this as well. My favorite outfit is the white one, which looks like a 6 cylinder "Wing thing" from Honda.

      These are just a small sample, I took hundreds of pics. They seem to have a lot more trikes this year.
      
      Baby boomers are getting older so they are going for the trikes. I even saw a custom made trike for sale that was made for a wheelchair!

         Good to see they kept riding Bill. I have had a few outfits, but only ever rode one trike. I didn't like it much, too comfortable on a motorcycle with a chair or sidecar. I guess it's what we get used to. I hope we see some more of your photos.
