Daytona Bike Week

Sandwiched between NASCAR's highly-publicized Daytona 500 auto race and college students' Daytona Beach Spring Break is Daytona Bike Week. For ten days in March, Daytona Beach becomes the temporary headquarters for around 500,000 motorcyclists and a motorized carnival, the largest annual party in the Daytona area. This scrapbook has over 400 full-color photographs of exceptional bikes and their devoted owners, body art and leather gear, and snapshots of bike races, crazy contests, and classic moments in hangouts like Dirty Harry's, the Boot Hill Saloon, and Bike Week's famous beer tents. AUTHOR: Donald D. Spencer has written over 250 books, including many about Florida's cities, rivers, attractions, beaches, animals, forts, and plantations. He has lived in the Daytona Beach area since 1962 and photographed biker events in the area for the past 20 years.
