We headed out early, to International Speedway Blvd and the Daytona Speedway. Traffic past Main Street and up ISB was light, and we got to the track quickly. We hit the Honda exhibit first.
To be honest, there wasn't a lot of different stuff from last year, when they debuted the 2012 Goldwings. But there were some pretty bikes.
In Honda's merchandise tent, there were no shirts with "Goldwing" on them; only Honda and Honda Racing. Oh, well. We rode over to the the Yamaha tent. They were offering free test rides, but we just looked around. They had some really nice looking motorcycles as well.
We headed back across the river and down to Main Street, where we parked and walked. We picked up the obligatory souveniers (glasses, shirts, etc), which I dutifully carried back to the bikes so we wouldn't have to carry them all day.
Just when you think you've seen every kind of bike there is, wait a minute, and something weird will come along. As always, there was some beautiful Iron Horses out there, and something else . . .
At first, I thought Linda was taking a pic of the trike, but then I noticed: that's me in the background, carrying some packages back to the bikes.
There were several pictures that both Linda and I took of this one, and it took a while to figure out why. After all, it's just another trike, right?
Nope, it has two wheels in the back, and two in the front. Why not just get a convertible?
We looked down the street, and saw this guy walking down the middle, until the police had him move to the sidewalk.
And, some of the "babes" of Main Street:
This girl came up next to me, and we talked for a bit. Apparently, she's a stripper somewhere, and her manager was taking her and a friend to lunch. I took the picture to show you the location on her shirt -- Krakow, Poland. Honest!
And, of course:
