It's that time of year again—time for Daytona's Bike Week. It's a week of almost every kind of motorcycle racing you can imagine, from supercross to cross-country racing, with lots and lots of street bikes thrown in for flavor. The following is a list of things to do in and around Daytona during Bike Week, with some photo suggestions courtesy of the Honda Grom we borrowed from Ray Butts of Rocky Mountain ATV/MC last year. It may not have been the biggest or fastest motorcycle there, but the purposes of seeing all of Daytona, it certainly got the job done!
