If you go to bike week to pick up chicks, you may want to bring a forklift. Just kidding: there are some that you wont need a forklift for.

.The cover photo is NASTY!”
You say “NASTY” as though it’s a bad thing.
Seriously,my father lived near Daytona Beach for a several years before he passed away. He had a big bike and loved bike week. This was after he gave up drinking and smoking and sort of found religion.

Bike Week is full of surprises, as you can see from the picnic table display above. That was the girl’s, yes all real girls, parading themselves just prior to the coleslaw wrestling match down at a place fittingly called “Cabbage Patch. Just come, you won’t regret it!
I first started shooting Bike Week more than 20 years ago in the early ’90s, and it’s different every year. You will see, hear and smell things that you’ve never before experienced. It’s a blast if you are passionate about street photography, or bikes. I promise those gals won’t hurt you.
Hope to see you there!

Attended Craig’s Daytona Beach Bike Week workshop in 2009. By far one of my favorite workshops ever! Think I only slept ten hours over three days but well worth it. I will be returning to this one and can’t wait. Greg
Booked it….. Looking forward to meeting you Steve, photographing the Bikers and their “friends” and trying to find room on the picnic table for me and my camera, Oh..and not necessarily in that order….
Take a look at that first pic of the folks on the picnic table. Now, while your looking at it, play Funky Cold Medina by TONE-LOC in your head.
…it works doesn’t it?
I will never have an appetite to eat on a picnic table ever again after seeing that pic.
The cover photo is NASTY!
Man that is one extra strong picnic table there! I would have thought it was the Loyal Order of Moose, had the description not said otherwise.
All they need 10 gallons of baby oil and a slip-n-slide and its a PARTY!
Steve,
Well, you will be in my home town. Thee’s only one problem with being in Daytona any bike week (coming from one who loves motorcycles and has ridden for 25 years). Bike week can get just to insane! Most of us locals try to stay out of the way until these people go home.
Now, regarding the first photo for those who inquired. This is at the Cabbage Patch before coleslaw wrestling. under those big mats is nothing but coleslaw! And trust me, once that starts the photos only go downhill from there! Not a place to pick up chicks if you know what i mean…to each his own.
Would love to see you Steve, will think about it.
Tell me a lil bit bout that gal in the first pic with the thigh tat, beer belly & high beams.
She looks pregnant.
“beer belly” LMAO
How bout the one on the other end with the dark socks…that left cheek looks like it got hit by an errant tee shot.
That photo is just disturbing…
wait, you guys are telling me that those aren’t trannies?
Trannies with cellulite? Looks like a fun trip, dudes. Though how can you expect anyone to be conscious before noon? Afternoon light is so much nicer.
She’s single if that’s what you’re asking…..
Daaaaaaamn, this looks like a HELL of a trip – now is the time one thinks Denmark is tiny and very far far away from everything;o) Enjoy and then enjoy some more – lokking forward seeing what comes out of this one!
Best
