Daytona Bikeweek 2008 kicks off Feb. 29 with opening day practice, qualifications and competition at Daytona Beach International Speedway, followed by nine days of racing, demos and other activities.
With its roots in motorcycle racing, Daytona's Bike Week has drawn crowds for more than three decades, and a million or more motorcycle enthusiasts from around the globe. Bikes that once raced on the compact sand of the World's Most Famous Beach, now race annually at the Daytona Beach International Speedway.
The Harley-Davidson Women's Ride into Daytona is slated for March 4, concluding at the Ocean Center with Women's Day activities.
Harley-Davidson will be offering women-only demo rides on select 2008 Harleys and Buell motorcycles 4:30 to 6 pm March 5 at the speedway.
Included in the lineup of events is the 20th Annual Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum's "Friendraising" breakfast with icon custom bike builders Arlen Ness and Russell Mitchell.
The 36th Annual Rat's Hole Custom Bike Show has expanded to a 3-day event, wrapped around the First Annual Big Daddy Rat's Party that will include an All-Metrics Custom Bike Show on Thursday; Old School Bobbers Show with a rock-n-roll band on Friday; and the main event with entertainment on Saturday.
Women's Cole slaw wrestling at the Cabbage Patch in Samsula has expanded, too. It's scheduled for Wednesday, as well as Saturday during the Daytona rally.
The largest Harley dealership, Destination Daytona, has drawn crowds north on the beach. The 150-acre complex has attracted new restaurants, lodgings and bars that cater to the motorcycle enthusiast. The dealership is near Interstate-95 in Ormond Beach.
