1:16
ambiance you cannot have bike week

without these sights and sounds of
1:21
motorcycles and not just automobile
1:23
parking but also motorcycle parking over
1:25

1:56
this time last year we were trying to
1:58
stay out of the elements we were kind of
1:59
like hiding underneath here well not
2:01
this because there's no awning we got a
2:03
truck pulling through here too
2:05
big truck right here you see bike

parking five dollars and i've always
2:08
heard of born to be wild this is born

wild where everything is 50 off all the
2:13
leather accessory boots
2:15
and
2:16
helmets over here and then also hats

2:20
plenty of stanchions out here to let
2:22
everyone know where they need to be
2:25
plenty of
2:27
stanchions also i learned that word from
2:29
micah he used to always use the word
2:30
stanchion and i kind of took that i took
2:32
that terminology from him
2:36
are
2:37
are you ready
2:39
for bike week a pretty good price on
2:40
these shirts too five for 20 oh this one
2:43
has a cross on the back right there i
2:45
kind of wish i had a motorcycle right
2:47
now just to just to cruise down
2:49
mainstream and another mural up on the
2:51
side of this wall as another harley
2:54
painted on the side states united we
2:56
ride with an oversized oversized twisted
2:59
tee up there on the top of that roof now
3:00
this place over here looks like
3:02
someone's kind of shifting and
3:03
readjusting there
3:05
as the bicyclists go by this place over
3:08
here is called dirty harry just like out
3:10
of the clint eastwood film i didn't
3:11
realize here is the former president on
3:13
a motorcycle hundreds and hundreds and
3:16
hundreds if not thousands of
3:18
motorcyclists out here that guy just ran
3:20
over a cone
3:21
down here on the brick pavement the
3:23
concrete the walkway someone has
3:25
described jesus loves you this is almost
3:27
a mary poppins feed the birds moment oh
3:30
i didn't meet you did i do that
3:32
that gentleman almost i think they're
3:34
going to go back though because someone
3:35
has fed them they put all the yeah can
3:37
you go back down there go back there and
3:39
feed and we walk down this way because
3:41
we're going to walk over to the the pier
3:43
on and see the shoreline as well and the
3:45
the water and all that but we're gonna
3:47
walk back that way we went up one side
3:49
we'll go back the other definitely
3:50
having some deja vu flashbacks this last
3:53
time we got to this point and that's
3:56
when the the heavens opened up the
3:58
floodgates from the clouds and it turned
4:01
into a whole other
4:03
experience we saw
4:05
the like emergency personnel driving
4:07
their vehicles on the beach that's true
4:09
yeah securing everything and telling
4:10
people to leave tell people they could
4:11
not be on the water so we hightailed it
4:14
back down maine
4:15
and we only got a couple a couple feet
4:17
down main street before
4:19
it just started to
4:21
precipitation overload
4:24
doesn't look too bad though there are
4:25
some storm clouds over there but nothing
4:26
like it was last year someone's got a
4:28
skateboard on the sand i didn't even
4:30
know those existed
4:33
that's cool and that bird just flew by
4:36
very nice
4:37
beach behind me there
4:38
and i like piers i like walking well
4:41
like piers friends
4:44
like micah he's a peer i'm talking about
4:47
saying i like peers not only friends
4:49
but also peers like this this one does
4:52
not seem too safe however
4:54
there is a shark right here
5:01
a shrink right there
5:01
we're gonna need a bigger pier i need a
5:03
bigger pier buddy
5:04
that shark
5:05
swallow you whole
5:07
and at the end of this one is a joe's
5:09
crab shack
5:11
i think out of all the piers i've been
5:13
on the most familiar i am with is the
5:15
santa monica beer we'll take a look
5:17
there he goes underneath
5:39
he's looking though
5:39
he's got the metal detector down there
5:41
skimming around
5:51
oh yes some serious deja vu look at
5:51
these clouds
5:52
look at these clouds up here
5:58
i think it might rain again
5:58
this might be a 2021 throwback
6:02

6:03
occasion
6:04
six months before last last year's bike

8:56
get out of here before the rainstorm
8:58
comes in and you see how gusty it is
9:00
with the wind blowing those flags up top
9:06
a little wacky out here it's like the
9:06
wind is really kicking up yeah this
9:08
feels just like last year 2021
9:11
all over again with this
9:13
width rolling in
9:15
the inclement weather
9:17
starting to roll back in right now
9:24
man it feels is so gusty out here and
9:24
windy at the moment
9:29
i can't tell if people are leaving or if
9:29
they're just gonna brave it out
9:48
definitely a really cool
9:48
event it brings a lot to the economy of
9:50
daytona
9:52
there's a lot of people here oh take a
9:54
look at this one i like the wheels
9:55
almost like oh it's like almost like
9:56
little candy wheels there
10:09

10:09
street here
10:10
and that's what i point out to the
10:12
training now so i have my windshield
10:13
wipers on
10:14
all right now we're walking across
10:17
over to the daytona international
10:20
speedway where another bike week event
10:22
is taking place
10:27
there's guy on the scooter going over
10:28
looks like they're doing quite a
10:30
something happening over here
10:32
off of international speedway boulevard
10:35
and fun fact this is the closest i have
10:37
ever been to the international speedway
10:39
walking through the parking lot here
10:41
never been never been on site here
10:43
before there's still quite a few people
10:44
over here walking around even out in the
10:47
elements and in the rain but noticing
10:49
over here
10:50
they have some they were doing some
10:52
monster was doing something over here
10:53
but they had put the ramps away and put
10:55
the bikes away due to the inclement
10:58
weather
10:59
there's a big ramp there probably
11:01
would jump off into this inflatable
11:04
like pad that is now deflated
11:20
and i am really glad i have this
11:20
umbrella
11:22
the harley davidson oversized letters
11:24
here
11:28
if they were doing a lot of demos and
11:28
stuff that have
11:29
since halted
11:31
due to the rain
11:41

11:45
he pretends to be ed harley
11:50
i don't know
11:50

12:04
that it was gonna rain today we did we
12:06
hyped it up so much
12:14
i'm glad we got to main street early
12:14
got to witness a lot of the bikes
12:16
it looks like the rest of the day is
12:18
going to be a washout
12:24
if the wind has kind of
12:24
kicked through here as well
12:26
knocked over the signage
12:36
i just heard some thunder
12:36
but it's hard to hear it over the
12:38
traffic this is thunder alley
12:40
right there on the side oh that's true
12:42
this says thunder alley yeah
12:45
and over here
12:47
all the different vendors
12:49
that would have been open if this
12:51
extreme
12:53
storm did not roll through
13:00
i had to count i probably saw
13:00
3 000 motorcycles today
13:06
