February 27th to March 8th of 2009 was when Daytona Bike Week, an annual event held in Daytona, Florida, was held for bikers from all over the country. The longstanding motorcycle tradition was founded in 1937, which was the inaugural running of the Daytona 200. This is a 10 day event that features well over 500,000 people who trek to the Sunshine State from all over the country to showcase their beloved hogs. The most popular brand of motorcycles on display during the week is Harley Davidson bikes.The annual event boasts the motorcycles, gear, and Motorcycle helmets of the Harley Davidson company, one of the most popular and successful motorcycle manufacturing companies in the world.

Daytona, Florida is the place for street festivals, concerts, parties and concerts during the Daytona Bike Week. The week ends with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which is the most popular motorcycle rally in the United States. Between the years of 1942 and 1947 the race took time off because of World War II but resumed again in late 1947.

The race used to be sponsored by William France Sr., the co founder of NASCAR. Even if someone doesn’t own a motorcycle they tend to attend Daytona Bike Week for the parties and because it is one major show.

Bike helmets are not required by the event but some bikers will wear them to protect themselves or to add another element to their outfit when riding the bike.

Some of the people get to see each other only once per year, which causes them to show off their motorcycle gear every chance they get. They might be lucky if they saw their friends more than once during the course of the year.

There are other motorcycle events for people to attend across the country but they aren’t as involved as Daytona Bike Week. Other motorcycle events draw people in the area of 300,000, much less than Daytona Bike Week. Daytona Bike Week pulls in 500,000 people while other events pull in 300,000 people or less each year. Motocross gear is available for purchase at the Daytona Bike Week. Over the years fights and brawls have broken out at the event, leading to the death of some participants. In 2006 20 people died, in 2007 eight people died, and back in 2000 15 people died.
