�����One of the main touring destinations
in the U.S. is Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Florida, usually the last week
of February and the first 8 or so days in March (when you're having THAT
much fun, you kinda lose track of the number of days in a week).�
Here are some photos of the less inhibited people at Bike Week and some
NEVER SEEN ON THE WEB photos of the A.N.U.S. drag races.�
Page
one has photos of street scenes at Bike Week and some of the more interesting
motorcycles (loosely defined) one might see.
�����Click on a photo to see a larger image.
Some people
who go to Daytona morph into beings unrecognizable from their "normal"
motorcycle
persona into completely other people.� Then there
are those people who aren't "normal" even at home.� I don't know where
to put these people.
����� The first photo shows a guy I smelled
before I saw him.� He was RIPE!� The next two photos were taken
after a hush fell over the street.� I looked up from a bike to see
this woman - I really believe she wore this while riding!� In the
hot Florida sun, risking road rash.� Amazing.� The lady in black
boots is a city employee.� Really!� The last two pics are also
of an odd situation.� I saw this attractive woman, sitting on a bike,
chatting with people, many people taking photos of her.� "A movie
star?" I thought.� I galloped across the street and began to chat
with her.� Very nice woman.� Seems she was a "spokesperson" for
a pin striper.� He was advertising his work on the bike.� There
were flyers!� I don't think anyone but me noticed the flyers and the
bike.� Nice job.
A.N.U.S Races:
���
�����Out in the woods, at a place to be determined later, if you look hard,
you'll find the A.N.U.S. drag races.� That's American National Unimotorcyclist
Society Races.� See, they drag race on a 100 foot (or yard) dirt track
with "beasts" - motorcycles with just one wheel.� Steering and brakes
are optional but yah gotta have a "dead man" switch - if yah fall off,
they want yer bike to stop.� If you ride it and YOU want it to stop,
you cut the throttle and let the oil pan hit the ground, "snowplowing"
you to a stop.� Really, honest!� No, I'm not on drugs!�
SEE THE PHOTOS!
