Central Florida Becoming Bike Week Central

ORLANDO, Fla.--Why are they coming to Florida for Bike Week February 29th-March 9th? Popular belief is that people come to Bike Week to hang out on Main Street in Daytona. Orlando Harley-Davidson shares results of new quantitative research which indicates that’s simply not the case. In fact, hanging out on Main Street is one of the least desired things to do, right up there with paying for parking. According to a survey conducted among Central Florida motorcycle owners on January 24, 2008, nearly 70% of the respondents stated that riding with friends and family is why they come to Bike Week.

Now more than ever before, riders are enjoying all of the festivities in the entire region. This includes the newly created Olde Florida Ride, 125 miles of backroads with scenic views which will get you back to why you ride in the first place. Trade road hogs for pig farms and swap traffic for trees. Gazing at the scenery has its rewards. After your ride, answer 5 scavenger hunt questions correctly and receive a commemorative patch. And, you’ll be automatically qualified to win a $1,500 Orlando Harley-Davidson gift card. For details, visit www.oldefloridaride.com
