I’ve officially launched my FocusOnTheRide YouTube channel about motorcycle events, long-distance touring and do-it-yourself projects. These two videos were shot during Daytona Bike Week. If you’re like most of us and stuck at home, enjoy the entertainment and short diversion! If you were at Daytona, enjoy the memories. I’ve got one or two more coming from additional footage, so be sure to subscribe and click the bell to be notified when new videos are posted. If you enjoy them please hit the like button, share and leave a comment.
How our worlds have changed in the 2 weeks since Bike Week ended. We talked about Coronavirus during the event, but the magnitude of the pandemic had yet to be grasped. I heard a report that at least one attendee had been infected, but later was told that the individual became ill while traveling to Daytona but ended up in St John’s County about an hour north and didn’t make it to Daytona. With so many people gathered in one place (and many visiting from the Northeast), it’s highly probably that some carried the virus.
But it’s been two weeks and I’m fine and symptom free and and grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy the event. Unfortunately, it will be a long time before we are all able to gather together again like that, whether at Daytona or any of the other great bike rallies that take place around the country. I hope that you and your loved ones remain healthy.
Daytona Bike Week was the inaugural event for me to capture content to launch my new YouTube and Instagram channels. With so much going on, there was plenty to film – Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona, Daytona International Speedway, Dixie Highway, Main Street and the Boardwalk Custom Bike Show.
I’ve got a little bit more work to do to finish up the videos, but they will be on YouTube and Instagram shortly. In the meantime, enjoy the gallery below containing photos from the bike show.
