Daytona Biketoberfest and I've Got Pics
 

The annual bike events in Daytona are one of my favorite things to photograph. There's so many people with creativity
and style its hard not to get an interesting image.
They just had Biketoberfest and I managed to get a few pics during the afternoons I spent there.

Here's a few images to give you an idea as to what you might see at a Daytona Biker event



I spent most of my time somewhere on Main Street where all the action is.

I've been going as a spectator for the past 20 years while some have been Bikers all their life.

Of course you are bound to see the stereotypical Bad Boys but......

.....you'll see a lot of the weekend Biker types as well which is fine by me.

Everyone has one thing in common and that's to feel the wind in your face.

When I need a break I head over to see my favorite bartender, Sam.

Along with the bikes you'll see a lot of nice vehicles like this old truck or this....

......new Lamborghini Gallardo. There is just that much variety.

Whatever their style they sure put on their best and this guy was straight up Pimpin.

There is something about a girl on a badass bike that always gets my attention.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/10.jpg

Bike designs and builds are very cool to check out whether they're showing team support or......

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/11.jpg

....building on a budget. Every single one is a marvel in design, engineering and creativity.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/12.jpg

The bike events inject a lot of money into the local economy so the locals don't mind the extra traffic.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/13.jpg

So many people are there and every couple seems to have a unique style.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/14.jpg

Its one big party and even I can have a shot with the Rock Star girl

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/15.jpg

Don't you hate it when the shots wear off and your passenger really looks like this.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/16.jpg

When I see a girl like this I'm curious as to why she picked this particular bike design.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/17.jpg

The Angel 1 thru 5 9/11 tribute Camaros made an inspiring pass down Main Street.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/18.jpg

The bodies were wrapped with the names of all those that perished on 9/11

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/19.jpg

They sure got everyone's attention and stopped so everyone could get a picture.

Great pics!

nice pics dude.

Great photos, again.

.

Nice pics.


I would think it might have something to do with weight. That bike looks light and easy to manipulate. Just my thoughts.

Great storyline and pics as ususal :)

I think weight would be a huge deciding factor as well but then again I saw a few women riding around on those Boss Hogs :upsidedow

I guess what has me wondering is her choice in handlebars and the riding position it puts her in. It must have a different feel than lower ones.

Here's some dry weather only scooters. Anyone ever get caught in the rain with a bike that doesn't have fenders? :1orglaugh

.

Wicked pics. :)

My early days, quite often.

I will never forget the time I took this chick for a ride on my 1942 45". No front fender (extended front end) and a short, bobbed rear fender. She wore a nice white angora sweater. At the end of the day she had a nice black stripe up her back from road grime and oil being tossed off the rear chain.

Style does have it's trade offs :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Now thats what I'm fucking talking about. Holy shit she looks hawt. Makes me wanna be a biker.

Great comments and even better pics!

Screw the bikes, lets see more of Sam's ass!!! :thumbsup

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing :)

What's wrong with her from the front :winkwink:

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/sam2.jpg

Nothing at all! That's not a very flattering shot but I'll take it. She's quite the cutie!

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...berfest/06.jpg

Hello Sam!

Wow Sam is freaking hot!!! I never find red heads attractive, but there is something about her!

The bike yes but theres nothing easy about manipulating a bike with ape hanger handlebars.

Speaking from experience or presumption? I have many friends that would disagree with you.

I rode a yamaha 250 MX once back in 1980 and that's the extent of my experience :)

With that being said, it looks to me that since her arms are fully extended to reach the grips while going straight, it would really be a stretch for the opposite arm when going into a turn. Way different if you had bars that allowed a bend at the elbow.

You don't really turn, you lean.

I see what you mean.

On a side note, on Main Street they have to back their bikes in to park at the curb and some of those custom bikes require about a twelve point turn because of their turning radius. I bet a lot of them couldn't do a U-turn in the two lane street :)

There were all kinds of bikes and people that ride them including a gang of Nuns that drew a big crowd.

Just don't get too close or they might flip you off.

Picked out a few more to help round out the selection :)


As a photographer I look for style and color and this guy had it right down to the flowers in the median.

According to FL law, this is how all girls must ride or at least thats what I told them.

....ass or mixer to ride on this spectacular Jack Daniels bike.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/30_0.jpg

I wonder if people thought the first guy to put a V8 in a bike was crazy.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/31_0.jpg

Something about her makes her stand out from being just another face in the crowd.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/32_0.jpg

Like a dog matches his owner this guy matches his bike.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/33_0.jpg

Bikers get a bad rap and I only saw one guy that was on a Highway to Hell.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/34_0.jpg

Seriously, I've been going for the past 20 years and these two are the closest I've come to seeing someone go to jail.

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h...rfest/35_0.jpg

And for all those that were hoping to see Sam's ass again, I dug up this pic from a past Miss Bike Week contest.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the pictures.

It makes posting them worthwhile :)


Stay tuned because in a few days and weather permitting, I will get a chance to get some pics and video of this car in all its glory doing what it does best :winkwink:

http://www.julie-clarke.com/public_h.../Aventador.jpg

I was kind of thinking the same thing. :thumbsup

Could definitely make a great blog with his pic threads.

Now, get down to Fantasy-Fest and shoot away. :winkwink:

Great shots. I always look forward to this thread each year.
