On Thursday of Bike Week, in Daytona Beach, Florida the place to be is the Old School Bike Show at Tropical Tattoo on US 1 (Ormond).
The show is scheduled from 11– 4 But it gets crowded way before as the event continues to grow every year because it is a combination of a bike show and party.
There are 20 Classes and some good judges who go through all of them, to come up with the winners. I did request a winners’ list but have not received it at the time of this article and due to not feeling well did not stay for the awards ceremony, so no photos of that. Look through the filled parking lot photos and see what you like.
Bands like Big Rick and the Trouble Makers kept the sounds going, while the food and drink vendors are busy taking care of everyone. Some of the Best Entertainment is when Roadside Marty takes the microphone to announce the winners and have a little fun with them and the audience.
People watching sometimes is interesting as well.
The proceeds from the show go to Veterans Support Group
Gloria Struck was there signing her book and I suggest you get a copy if you can.
The Twisted Tea Motorcycle built by Cycle Source was on display.
Sponsors included: Bikernet, Cycle Source, Blings Cycle, Biker’s Choice, Dave Perewitz, Speedking Racing, Led Sled, Bare Bones, A1 Cycles, B&D Customs, Self Made Customs, Boomer’s Bike Shop, Lowbrow Customs, Anvil Customs, National Companies like S&S, Custom Chrome, local Attorney RUE & Ziffra and all the people who donate their time to make this the Great Event It Is.
Enjoy the photos and consider being there for future shows during Bike Week and Biketoberfest.
