2011 Progressive International Motorcycle Show[br]The Bikes
Two of the most popular bikes at the show were the beautiful new Norton production bikes made in England. The new Norton is an absolutely stunning motorcycle in my opinion. And second bike that caught my eye was the 1-of-1100 Steve McQueen-labeled Triumphs with The King of Cool’s signature adorning it.
2011 Daytona Biketoberfest[br]Boardwalk Bike Show
There was a gaggle of bikes on display from high-end uber-customs to everyday rides. There were even a couple of incredible metal-sculptured trikes that would feel right at home in a museum.

It was my idea to build an Old School-looking Street Glide and when I proposed the idea to my friend Jason Perdue, he said he had just the right paint job in mind.” Scotty refers to that “finished” paint job as...
2011 Daytona Biketoberfest[br]The Scene
The crowds seemed to be everywhere and it was hard to tell if you were at the spring rally or the fall. Main Street on Friday and Saturday was jammed. Gridlock both on the street and on the sidewalk. It also seems that the younger crowd is now flocking to the big events now that riding a rice rocket is not as taboo as it once was.
The estimates for the fall rally seem to run at...
