From booming music to tattoo contests to a sea of shiny, revved-up engines, thereâs no event more pumped with adrenaline than Daytona Beachâs Bike Week. While motorcycle rallies boast of daring feats and a devil-may-care attitude, preparedness never ruined anyoneâs street cred! Weâve listed our top tips for your bike week vacation that wonât only keep you safe, but also grant you peace of mind so you can fully enjoy the event.
1. Get a tune-up before the race
Nothing deflates bike week hype than sitting roadside with a motorcycle that needs fixing. Save your vacation from a trip to the mechanic and give your two-wheel beauty a thorough tune-up before leaving. Youâll want to check tire tread, tire pressure, fluid levels, lights, and the battery to name a few items. Even if you live driving-distance to the fun, we recommend that you bring another vehicle besides your bike. Should you wish to explore the area or if your bike has a mechanical mishap, youâll be grateful to have a reliable back-up (plus itâll save your motorcycle from traveling miles!).
