Bike Week 2022 in Daytona Beach will welcome over 500,000 visitors to the sandy shores of Florida. Daytona Beach is located about an hour south of St. Augustine. This event will last from March 4 to 13, 2022.
Visitors coming to Bike Week will enjoy events throughout the week, including live music, street festivals, food and craft vendors, bike displays, concerts, a bike parade, and more. Bikers from all over the country will converge on Daytona Beach to show off their bikes and celebrate Bike Week 2022. This exciting event contends with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota as the most popular motorcycle rally in the U.S.
Places to Stay
The events of Bike Week draw hundreds of thousands of visitors down A1A. Many choose to stay in nearby St. Augustine because of the charm and character of the town. It’s one of the closest locations to Daytona Beach that is geared for travelers. With quaint bed & breakfasts, bayfront hotels, and seaside resorts—St. Augustine has lots to offer visiting bikers.
Downtown Parking
In preparation for Bike Week, the city sets aside areas of street-side parking to accommodate all the bikes that come through. From Wednesday, March 2 through Sunday, March 13, there will be designated parking spaces along Cathedral Street between Charlotte and St. George Streets. Normal fees will apply.
Biker Bars
Biker bars, restaurants, and dives will welcome visitors with “Bike-Friendly” and “Bikers Welcome” on their signs. St. Augustine has a plethora of places to eat from lounges, American-style diners, fine dining, local seafood, Mexican, Caribbean, and more.
Bike Week 2022 in Daytona
Bike Week 2022 visitors celebrate The World’s Largest Motorcycle Event in Daytona Beach, Florida. Thousands of bike enthusiasts ride into the city to enjoy the street-wide parties, live music, bike gear vendors, and more. The event is located at Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce at 126 East Orange Ave. Daytona Beach, FL. Call (386) 255-0981 for more information.
Plan for Daytona Bike Week 2022 event
WHAT TO BRING
Pack items that have more than one use. A multi-tool is handier than a basic pocket knife.
Pack all your cold weather and raingear no matter what time of year it is.
Lightweight synthetic clothing – such as T-shirts and underwear – can be washed in a hotel sink and dried overnight (cotton fabrics take too long to dry in this manner).
On long trips, consider bringing your rattiest underwear (or other clothing), then just throw it away when you’re done with it!
Plastic bags make great boot liners if you forgot your gaiters. If you forgot your rain gloves, rubber dishwashing gloves make great, inexpensive substitutes.
A small towel can be wrapped around your neck during a rainstorm to keep water from running down your back – and doubles as a shop rag.
HOW TO PACK
Don’t fold your clothes – roll them. They take up less space that way.
Zipper-lock plastic bags of various sizes can be extremely useful for organizing items in saddlebags and duffle bags. They can make it easier to find and retrieve particular items without unpacking your entire motorcycle. Use the one-gallon size to pack one day’s worth of clothes – jeans, undergarments, and shirt. This makes it easier to unpack just what you need.
When traveling with other riders, conserve space by comparing packing lists and eliminating duplicate items.
When traveling (two-up) with a partner, ask yourself questions such as: “Can we share a tube of toothpaste?” or “Can I get by using her shampoo for a week?”
Few things are as easy to pack as money or credit cards. If you’re struggling with whether or not to bring a particular item, consider simply buying it on the road if you need it.
GETTING YOUR BIKE READY
If you watch the ounces, the pounds will take care of themselves. When possible, lighter is better.
Check the cargo weight limits of your bike – as well as the bags and racks – and adjust tire pressure and suspension accordingly.
When loading your bike, keep as much weight as possible close to the bike’s center of gravity. That means low and toward the tank, distributed evenly from side to side.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
Before you begin your trip, make sure to review all local motorcycle laws for the states you’ll be traveling in.
A day or two before you leave, do a dry run. Pack the bike and go for a short ride, then adjust the load as needed.
If you’re camping, set up your tent once or twice before you leave (and don’t forget to waterproof it). Practice setting it up in the dark.
With your bike loaded for your road trip, check your headlamp to make sure it’s properly aimed.
