Went to Daytona today last minute decision. Weather was spectacular so off we went. 1st the multi-million dollar renovations to the stadium complex is breathtaking. Different experience all together a definite upgrade. The vendor marketplace area used to be dirt and grass. Now a beautiful paved area with shaded awnings palm trees, lights and an area for the demo rides. The stadium is like a Disney experience, different theme for what ever entrance you go into. Escalators to take you up etc.. Just a great day may go back next weekend for the 200.

Here are some pictures of all the sights and some new model motorcycle pictures. The retro paint on the Yamahas Looked really good. brought back memories of Kenny Roberts.

Honda had the 1200x and Africa twin old and new. Tall bikes as you can see from me standing next to them But I'm only 5'7" so I guess you tall guys can have all the fun. The VFR was a 2015 model VIN plate had a 2/15 data on it. Great day hope you enjoy the pictures.

Cool photos, thanks for posting. I keep forgetting how good that 8th gen looks.

Yea they still do a little racing. The Flat Track racing is always a trill and I'm partial to the ASRA/CCS racing over the big boys in the 200. Those guys just love what they do and put on a great show. Get to see the up and comers, stars of tomorrow, and the guys that just love the sport and know there never going to be Rossi but can dream about it. . Oh yea the tickets are a lot cheaper too!
