    Drop a A-bomb on Daytona Bike week and we’d be done with a lot of the RUBS running up prices, and the pricks that cater to them . . .

    I don’t think I’ve seen the announcement that I sent about the “Industry Party For All!” on Friday night – FREE to everyone to attend – Dan Lawson Band is playing and Jack Mcintyre – BikerPICS.ORG with ACCEL motorcycle products is the host. So far on the RSVP list is Dave Perewitz, Woody of Buffalo Chip, V-Force Customs, Roar Motorcycles (that has a grand opening of their second store in Daytona Beach – this one on Beach Street is gear and accessories and will promote their dealership.) The party is open to the public to attend – on the water near Halifax Marina, off of Beach Street downtown Daytona Beach

    I know you are pretty much V-Twin only, but are you aware they are expecting 10,000 to attend the 2nd Annual Sportbike Festival – at the Daytona Bandshell this year? Sponsored by BMW and others, the bandshell is very near the Hilton – in the 200 block of North Atlantic Ave. AIA – the flier says 50 models with $1,000 going to top bikini contest winner – also hot bikes, longest ride, and other contests – that’s on the last Saturday, March 6th 2 to 8 p.m. Daytona Bike Week 2010.
