Biketoberfest 2013 I haven’t had this much fun in Daytona in years; its always better when you take a virgin.....as in ‘someone who has never been to a Daytona Bike Event.’ Biketoberfest is one Bike Event that I genuinely look forward to all year; the weather in Central Florida is approaching perfect in October and this event is significantly smaller than the Mother-Of-All-Bike-Events, Bike Week in March. It makes for a more ‘intimate’ experience, if you can consider 150,000 fellow bikers intimate. I invited my partner Paul down to Daytona to enjoy Biketoberfest with me; he took two days vacation from his annual hunting trip...so it must be love, right?! I burned two tanks of gas in the OPPOSITE direction of Daytona, to connect with him in Richmond Hill...so it must be love, right?! We enjoyed a chilly, fog-shrouded ride on one of the best ‘backroads’ in Georgia/Florida - SR17 - as we headed south last Thursday morning. SR17 is one of those roads ‘time-has-forgotten.’
