Bike Week is Fun but Low Cost Car Insurance Quotes Bring a Smile, Too
A few years ago a friend did a most unexpected thing. He bought a motorcycle, a new Harley-Davidson. I say unexpected because, until then, he'd never even breathed the word. As well, a gentle and quiet soul, he didn't seem the motorcycle type inasmuch as he'd shown no affinity for things mechanical. Well, it turned out that Randy wanted his bike, not as everyday transport, but for touring and the occasional quiet ride with his wife as passenger. Eydie, by the way, was my co-pilot back when flying was our hobby, so I guess that riding pilion was perfectly fine with her. An intelligent individual and careful with his money, Randy no doubt is interested in keeping down motorcycle insurance rates. And as a car owner I know he looks for low cost car insurance quotes, too. Very hip when it comes to using the Net, the couple will be delighted to learn that the best way to buy is online, where a quote can be had in as little as seven minutes.
Perhaps my friends should take a tour to the 69th installment of Daytona's Bike Week, where they can socialise with other motorcycle enthusiasts, have some fun, and soak up that lovely Florida sunshine. Apparently Bike Week dates back to 1937 when a guy named Ed Kretz won the first Daytona 200 race. Year by year, the events grew in popularity until1986 when things were getting a bit out of hand. A special task force was then formed in cooperation with the city and chamber of commerce to manage the masses. It's no longer the rowdy event it once was but as the "the worlds largest motorcycle gathering" it continues to attract folks from around the world. Special events include an opportunity to drive the pavement at Daytona Speedway, and Riding the Loop: besides the open road and natural beauty, the Loop provides a Biker's shortcut to some of the area's favorite hang outs and attractions.
Having said all that I'll confess I'm still a car guy and always will be. But I've learned to at least recognise a good bike when I see one and appreciate its fine lines and performance.
