Sturgis, Daytona Bike week, Laconia - those are traditionally Harley dominated events.
I've been to Daytona a couple times. One year my buddies wanted to go to some dive called "The Last Resort", a bit out of town, where steak dinners were being served for $6.00 (if I recall). There were women wearing body paint, a mechanical bull, and scairiest of all, a tree out back called "the Japanese Garden Hangin' Tree" with Japanese bikes lynched thereon.
When I got to the place, there was some agressive jockying for parking, like Christmas at the Mall with black leather, in the overflow lot across the street. I felt uneasy and said to myself, "forget this place," and was going to catch up with my buddies to tell them I was splitting. As I tracked them down near the front of the building, a spot was being vacated...just three away from the front door; I snagged it. It would have made a funny picture: Black, Black, Black, Harley, Harley, Harley, my yellow ZX-6R, Black Harley, Black Harley. My licence plate at the time, as now, read "DRASTIC," and I guess the crowd believed it because the bike was fine upon my return.
