Perfect riding weather, women in bikinis--in October, nonetheless--short beer lines, and an awesome display of bikes and public partying: Welcome to Biketoberfest 2006. Celebrating its 14th birthday, Biketoberfest rocked Daytona Beach, Florida, October 19-22, with mostly sunny skies (at least no hurricane threats), which in turn meant happy crowds.

We split our time at Biketoberfest between Main Street and Daytona International Speedway, as well as Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach. There were plenty of vendors set up along Main Street, ample entertainment from just people watching, and cool places to kick back for a cold beverage and a show. We had a few good times at the Bank & Blues Club, rocking away to the live rockabilly music of The Razorbacks.
