Pix from Daytona Beach Bike Week 2007
Bike Week was great. It’s always great riding with friends, making new friends, watching the people, drooling over bikes, and just having a great time. I had some disappointments that I hope to make up for in October or next year at Bike Week.
First, I really wanted to test drive some motorcycles. I wanted to try the new Harley-Davidson with the new engine. I’d love to test a Road King and possibly an Electra Glide. I also wanted to try some metrics like the Suzuki M109R and the Yamaha Stratoliner. While rolling around at the speedway vendor area I also discovered a stock Kawasaki with 125 cubic inch engine. Geez! This competition thing is getting big.
Second, I wanted to meet a few custom builders. I wanted to have the opportunity to meet Cyril Huze in person. While living in the same area, I’ve yet to actually meet the man behind the bikes. I’ve communicated in email and on his blog, but never really got to meet him. I’d also like to meet Sam Nehme. Sam was at the Rat’s Hole showing the “Nehmesis”, the competition build for the Metric Revolution TV Show that is coming out soon. From Broward County, just south of me, he has built one of the hottest bikes I’ve ever seen. I really wanted to take picture of that one.
But, all is not lost. I did snap off a few hundred photos and discarded a lot. I’m not as happy with this year’s lot, but I’ll let you browse through the photos. Next time, I hope to ride with someone on the back taking pictures. I think we can get more bikes and more candid shots.
