The second saturday of every month there is a meet on canal st. Nice show. I go about every other month. I will be there this saturday. If you are in town for that, I will bring mine over and meet up!

Either way, I live about a half hour from New Smyrna. We'll meet up somewhere. Another member and I end up at one of our houses for bs and beer regularly!

Relocated NYer here. There is a sick show on the third Sat of the month in Ormond Beach at the huge Harley dealership off 95 too.

I don't think Daytona is a "retirement" area though bro....lots of young punani.

Where exactly is this? I'd take a ride from Palm Coast to check it out with a buddy or two.

Very few cops around where I am. Most usually drive @ 80-85 on 95.

Ormond Beach is about 20 min or so from New Smyrna.

Destination Daytona is jamming with all kinds of cars, bikes and babes. If you have never been there you are missing something special. If you guys decide to do something you can include me.
