as stated here five dollars but there is
2:02
no re-entry
2:05
in the free no re-entry they must charge
2:08
for the letter
2:10
maybe possible it's like 80 years i
2:13
would assume that means that this has
2:15
been going so this is the 80th
2:16
anniversary perhaps the t-shirt over
2:18
there was saying it was the 80th
2:19
anniversary of bike week
2:20
we're on hollywood avenue by the way oh
2:22
look at this not hollywood boulevard
2:24
but hollywood ave there you go so we're
2:26
on the corner of hollywood not hollywood
2:27
and vine
2:28
but hollywood ave in maine yeah now look
2:31
at this
2:32
there's a mural here this american flag
2:35
nice it says
2:37
welcome bikers right up there now i am
2:38
not a biker but
2:40
this is going to be a cool experience
2:41
this is going to be a cool cool day
2:44
just checking out the sights the sounds
2:45
and oh yeah right there
2:47
80th anniversary 2021 this is another
2:50
pop-up booth that is like set up right
2:52
here with the
2:52
to guard from the elements and the
2:55
weather
3:01
oh my goodness these hats that they have
3:01
here
3:02
for men women they're also i thought
3:05
these were facial coverings at first but
3:06
they're not i think i believe they are
3:08
undergarments
3:09
and yeah even more even more t-shirts
3:13
over here 80 years
3:17
wow 80 years
3:24
that's like that's a good amount of time
3:24
to have
3:25
bike week and obviously a lot of these
3:28
places
3:28
cater to the clientele you know based on
3:32
look at the name of the place over here
3:39
one sexy biker chick
3:39
either owns or works that's probably
3:41
just the name
3:42
for 12 you can get a pin and patch set
3:46
they also have lone star pins here
3:49
with the event on it and the 80s save
3:51
the 80 years shouldn't have any problem
3:53
getting
3:53
getting a meal or any snacks as the day
3:56
progresses
3:57
they have burgers they have philly
3:59
cheese steaks they have sausages
4:01
so as the day goes on we'll just
4:02
probably find more of these type of
4:04
booths and
4:05
grab a little snack or two micah has the
4:08
same idea i
4:09
i do looking at the vespa here is that a
4:12
vespa i don't know
4:13
that might be the other brand not a
4:15
vespa really interested
4:16
in getting good photos go in the back
4:18
and we have these three things
4:21
around the back is this a vespa or a
4:23
different what is this
4:25
we call these like little mopeds an
4:28
islander they also have these scooters
4:30
right here
4:37
i think i'm just gonna walk but this
4:37
would be an option
4:39
maybe it's kind of cool could you see me
4:41
in one of these just cruising around
4:42
main street during bike week 2021
4:45
dude yeah kind of cool
4:49
all right so if we decide to rent
4:51
something
4:52
we know where to get them oh yeah
4:56
micah was just noticing harley davidson
4:58
is right there
4:59
right there is a is the is a harley
5:01
store
5:02
oh yeah i recognize this brand james
5:04
dean indian
5:06
from mike wolfe from america
5:10
i always think of james dean when i
5:12
think of this brand oh yeah there you go
5:20
now here's one with return entry for two
5:22
dollars more seven dollars you can go in
5:24
park and you can kind of go and
5:28
return at your at your leisure so if
5:30
you're if you had a bike
5:32
and if you didn't want to pay the five
5:33
dollars pay two dollars more
5:35
and you could have this for the entire
5:36
day this seems like the better option to
5:38
make if
5:39
i was here with a cycle here's a place
5:42
by the name of dirty harry's they have
5:44
rocket music cold drinks and contests
5:46
think of dirty hairy obviously think of
5:48
clint eastwood right i do good thing i
5:50
brought my umbrella have it in the back
5:52
pocket so that could be very helpful
5:54
because that looks oh it's getting a
5:55
little gusty
5:57
it's getting a little gusty out here
5:58
it's a little chilly man i just want to
6:00
know micah do you feel lucky when it
6:02
comes to this weather
6:03
yeah well do do
6:07

6:09
to already kind of get all
6:11

6:14
to eat but froggies i've heard of
6:16
froggies that's right across the road
6:18

6:21
for sure burghy's tiki hut here
6:24
says welcome bikers and you got you got
6:27
jungle george's over here
6:30
that kind of in the beach is right there
6:32
that's the beach due to the inclement
6:34
weather oh this is some thunder rolling
6:36
in
6:36
due to the inclement weather they are
6:38
kind of going down the beach here
6:40
and getting over the loudspeakers and
6:42
telling everyone to get out of the water
6:45
there is no swimming allowed at the
6:46
moment there is a shark
6:48
who has left the ocean and just just
6:51
kind of like
6:53
just kind of found a spot here on this
6:56
little bench here this shark
6:58
is sitting there kind of looking back
7:00
together oh yeah
7:02
you hear them making the announcements
7:03
really does seem as if most of the
7:05
most of the the folks are over on main
7:08
street not really out here at the beach
7:09
and on the boardwalk so i'm going to
7:10
head back over to may i did bring my
7:12
umbrella which was probably a wise
7:14
choice
7:14
some of the vendors here in the stores
7:15
are taking in their products to get them
7:17
out of the
7:18
of the weather that is about to roll
7:20
through fantasy
7:22
beachwear right up here
7:26
sleeping out stuff
7:38
it's coming down now it's a good
7:38
umbrella i got recently
7:40
i wasn't the only one that brought along
7:42
an umbrella oh yours is very colorful
7:44
yeah it's got a little dog looks like my
7:46
dog george on there nice
7:48
cool dog yours has a little more flair
7:50
to it to yours than mine mine is pretty
7:51
basic
7:52
yeah thanks thanks to my wife for the
7:55
umbrella nice
7:56
she was the smart one i know
8:04
the tiki hut maybe a little tiki right
8:04
there on the side
8:05
and here they have not only ice cold
8:08
beer but they have
8:09
great food full bar and they have live
8:11
music
8:12
daily they're walking back across
8:15
atlantic and maine
8:40
all right all right
8:46
i just gotta get across this road at
8:46
some point
8:55
there they go
8:55
very gusty it is very gusty
8:58
getting though my feet are already
9:00
completely soaked
9:05
yeah the road is cleared up you don't
9:05
see anyone driving down it now
9:07
probably not safe to be driving on the
9:09
slick roads like this
9:10
i'm not really sure or maybe they just
9:14
they're probably better out of the
9:15
elements than under the awnings like
9:16
most are
9:18
mostly doing oh they have shirts over
9:22
there three for 25 dollars that store
9:23
looks like it's closed
9:26
yeah and no skateboarding out here as
9:28
well they're prohibited
9:29
we found a little section to kind of to
9:31
hide away and on this little alcove
9:34
right here cool they under some
9:35
lightning or thoughts of lightning
9:38
and a place across the way there so sell
9:40
lamb skin
9:41
leather coursing so we could we could
9:44
dip in there and maybe do a little
9:45
shopping
9:46
yeah maybe yeah maybe possible i need to
9:48
get one for the new season
9:51
i think we found a good spot here though
9:53
even though i don't want to go back out
9:54
in that you can see
9:55
everybody over there else they don't
9:57
want to as well yeah it is
9:59
it is really coming down not too windy
10:01
though look at the palm trees they're
10:02
not really blowing too much but
10:04
okay that rain is really really going
10:06
down a lot of lightning
10:08
this is just kind of it is like roaring
10:10
through here just puddling up
10:12
quite a bit see the not quite flooded so
10:15
much but
10:16
yeah there's a there's almost like a
10:17
little a little rip current a little
10:20
a little river of sorts next to them
10:23
they were cones
10:25
look at the the speediness of that water
10:28
everyone's like parked no one's out
10:31
really cruising at the moment
10:33
right here on the corner of fern lane
10:35
and there's
10:36
carol's cat house over there hot
10:39
leathers
10:40

10:49
a little moist oh froggies
10:52
froggy saloon right here this is a
10:54

800 main street
11:22
froggy's saloon in daytona beach
11:28
man it is it's really dampened the mood
11:32
quite a bit you can see everyone just
11:34
kind of standing over there like we
11:35
might be the only ones
11:37
that are braving this by walking around
11:39
because we do have an umbrella and we're
11:40
not really
11:42
we're just kind of wandering just kind
11:43
of seeing the sights this car is slow
11:45
moving
11:46
through the water here it's almost the
11:48

11:52
high through this section
11:55
