Description

DaytonaBikeWeek.com is the place for riders and motorcycle enthusiasts to get the lowdown on everything happening in the Daytona Beach area! We cover Daytona Beach Bike Week, Biketoberfest® and all the activities and events for riders. The Daytona Beach area is biker-heaven year round with a great climate for riding, many businesses that cater to bikers and great entertainment 24-7. The first Daytona Bike Week was January 24, 1937 - the inaugural running of the Daytona 200. The first race took place on the sand just south of The World’s Most Famous Beach on a 3.2 mile road course. Ed Kretz of Monterey Park, CA was its first winner, riding an American made Indian Motorcycle averaging 73 miles an hour. A tradition was established and the rest is history. Now, a 10-day festival, the event has spread from Main Street into other areas around Volusia County. The Motorcycle Industry and hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts gather here in March as well as October for the Fall Classic Biketoberfest. Information on Biketoberfest can be found here as well in the Fall.
