Daytona Beach Bike Week

What's up everyone, this is my first post here at the R1 Message Net. I just wanted to say what's up and see what you guys thought about something... Us R6 folk are trying to arrange a big meeting for bike week. I read that the R1 group is planning to come down too. I live in Daytona Beach :boobies and I figured it would be awesome to get a big ride together of Yams. I'd like to know what you guys thing, if you are interested, and when you'll be here. I have been scouting out some good places to ride, and I found some really good rides around. I actually found one that is actually quite windy and hilly (actually it is AWESOME for Florida) but it is about a 3 hour ride. It goes through some great country too, cows and all (reminds me of up north actually). Please let me know what you guys think, and if you'd be interested, and I can try to get something together, or just give some advice if needed. My e-mail is: BristoG50@hotmail.com Let me know, and keep the rubber side down. P.S. Sorry if you see this on another part in the forum, I just wanna get the word out.

Three hours R1 time from Daytona is Miami (on a flat). Or Georgia (with light traffic........serious). I'm in Orlando where you talking about? Nova rd? I think I might be interested in a wee bit of training ride.

Orlando is only an hour away from Daytona Beach, just a straight shot up 4. Solidus, as for the good rides, Nova is good, but I haven't scouted super far out. Also, I have heard of this place they call "the loop" that is just a little north, but I am not sure where it is yet (but, I'll find out fo sho). The ride I was talking about is actually a little North of Orlando. The road is highway 42 that goes from Ocala to DeLand basically. A little bit east of Ocala, it starts gettin real hilly and curvy. It is pure country with cows and shit. Thought I was back in Ohio for a bit. 40 into Ocala is also scenic, albiet not very curvy. Anymore questions, e-mail me or IM me at BristoG50

Whats up Bristo. I live in Oak Hill just off US1. I bought an R1 about four months ago but havent seen any others even in daytona. We got to get together and ride. I am having about 10 people camp at my house this bikeweek. Some R1's too. Lets hook up!

i'm game:rock I'm here in Winter Haven/ Lakeland about an hour south of orlando,,,,,,, I'm gonna have a huge crowd coming to bike week with me ( not all yams, but still a bunch of sport bikes) ,,,, That would be great to get together and ride that "Loop" thing i've been hearing about,,,,,, I'll give this topic to everyone that i ride with here and see what they say, so i'll get back with you guys with details I will be staying in daytona from the 1st thru to the 4th (at the ocean deck hotel on the beach)and will probly ride up again the next weekend

Where is this "loop" thing you guys are talking about? We will be down for the bike week and was wondering if anybody know where there's a good place to ride? We will be staying in Orlando. :rock cheers, jon

The loop you guys are talking about is the backside of Disney. I'm not at that level yet. But my peeps ride it all the time. It is supposedly the bomb on a bike. Nothing but asphalt and orange trees. Very little police activities too. I can find out the exact spec if you want me to and scout it too.

The loop is the back side of Disney. It takes about 25-30 minutes to ride it briskly and that is if you have some degree of skill. Also it's safer to ride it at night (late) due to traffic. ( 90% tourist and lost.) Thats it.

Whos all is going to be here for bike week,, March 1st,2nd,3rd. I 'll be there the whole weeken and would like to have somebody show me the "LOOP" Would make a good group ride

i posted on the misc. section today, but we will be there with my families race shop www.tobefast.com . Look us up at 295 South Atlantic Ave. (it's about a half mile from State Rd. 40) Econo Lodge Suites. You will see the big tobefast.com chevy duelly in the parking lot. I have a blue 02 r1 and my cousin has a pearl white r6 with nitrous you can't miss us. We are there the 6-11th and have a few appointments throughout the week but we should set up something or meet at our place one morning and head out. There is some sweet roads about an 35 minutes away in the country also. :yesnod

me and one friend are coming down to bike week. he rides an R6 me an R1. i rode the loop last year,.,, LOTS of bikes,,more then the gap on a good weekend. it was ok though, it was nice to find a twisty in fl. p.s... we have not found a place to stat yet,,anybody recomend anywhere or now where there is a deal to be had. thanks

I'm entertaining the idea of attending. I don't know how feasible it will be for me to go. I would like to have a hotel reservation or place to stay locked in first. If anyone has extra space in their hotel room or rental, I would definitely contribute money towards any expenses. :crash

I'm in with most of my bike club "Seductive Cycles". I think we're going to Camp at Daytona Beach Camp ground. Bikeweek should be a really good time. I cant wait.

this thread is really old, might i suggest a new one?

oh, so it is LOL :lol :lol
