Daytona Bike Week 2020 Was it Corona-Cancelled?

[@RJSerp]

Thanks for sharing and confirming that Bike Week was NOT canceled this weekend! Your videos are very informative!!

[@patriotsofamericapeters5625]

I don't ride but i do live here and just want to say have a safe trip and cant wait to see y'all next year

[@thecomet1948]

Just spent 4 nights there. Crowds were about half or previous years I’v been there. Traffic on I95 was way down also.

[@joec4334]

Looks like people were still having a good time that's great to see, truth is the crowds at Daytona have been dwindling the last couple of years it's not the same🇺🇸💪

[@Misty3133]

Looks like people are enjoying Daytona just fine! Thanks for sharing! Ride safe.

[@lutherhutto5234]

DEFINITELY NOT CANCELED, but slowed down a bit. Thanks For the video, I was there until Wednesday, left to get to Texas for a concert that was cancelled when I got home. Keep the videos coming.

[@LuckysLair]

Thanks for watching! I have Hutto's wayyy back in my family tree from S.Carolina in the 1700's. And know a few here in Fla. currently.

[@robertcadiz5561]

Lucky, I really enjoyed your tour of the Daytona area I have been to most of those place over the past 10 yrs. We didnt get to go this year but I and a couple of buddies are planning for next year. I think you missed the bantum chef just N of Dest Daytona and Famous Phillies at Rt 1 and Nova Rd. and of course the Helmet shop.

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Thank god it wasn’t cancelled,we need some normalcy especially now with all the fear mongering

[@buckets1907]

NICE VIDEOS, AND CLEAR CAMERA WORK. HOW DO YOU KEEP THE WIND NOISE OUT OF VIDEOS WHEN CRUISING ? THANKS

[@LuckysLair]

LoL, I just replied to an email about that subject...so I'll copy and paste part of the reply.. "..I have a GoPro external mic and an "octopus" mic set up for sound I have had a few inquiries about my set up, so I will be doing a video on it...others do already exist, which is how I figured it out I always wear a full face when shooting, that way the wind noise is greatly reduced "

[@dannywilliams3516]

Thank you for posting the truth. I was told by others that the entire event was cancelled looks like somebody was lying.

[@LuckysLair]

We don't scare that easy

[@garynelson9538]

Late Friday night/early Saturday morning, on Mary McCloud St (The Hood) Daytona Police handed letters from the city to the vendors. Telling them because of Corona, their license are pulled for this event. We later found out, the city banned any crowed larger than 100. I’m not sure if the PD enforced the Larger than 100 part, but they definitely enforced the vendors license portion.

[@LuckysLair]

Yeah, the itinerant vendors on Main Street, like the Indian display, had begun to close up shop. Saturday it was fenced off, and Saturday is the big blow-out night...because most folks start leaving Sunday morning. But the year-round bars were all still chugging along. The only thing I saw police doing was the usual activity...hanging out, keeping things peaceful

[@1twistedcpl6575]

They ran paid for permit vendors off because city didnt want crowds of "100 or more" gathering. But city had no problem with people packing shoulder to shoulder in bars clubs restaurants etc....where the city recieves alcohol and entertainment tax $. Hmmm

[@joeyv2008]

Wish I was there !! Looks so much fun this year, I went in 2017 had a blast. Be safe

[@mightyjoe3849]

Glad you posted this!!!

[@JamanRooney]

I don't know lucky looks like a lot less people there now than there was 3 days ago,great vids man peace.

[@LuckysLair]

The move definitely reduced things a noticeable amount, but nothing even close to "cancelling". However, Friday night and Saturday morning, I kept reading in texts, and online how it had been "cancelled" and I'm like,...What, how do you "cancel" an event with 100's of thousands of people here? They're not all just going to POOF "go away". All of the county's year-round restaurants, bars and businesses aren't going to just lock their doors......anyway just my thoughts. Thanks for watching, and "peace" back at ya. 😎✌️

[@jaynedoe1959]

I liked the propane impression. Were you actually huffing propane when you did that? The other impressions were good too. Including your impression of BikeWeek!

[@MrZip-yo7lm]

I saw way more available parking spaces on Main Street than I've ever seen at this time of day before. Been going since '98.

[@gregorymonacelli2257]

I was there opening weekend. Uncle Kracker, Buck Cherry (who was horrible) place was packed

[@seane1764]

Your Hank impression is SPOT on!

[@LuckysLair]

My boss use to call me "Hank" at one point LoL I use to mimic the commercial for the show...and didn't even watch it for the longest time...I remembered that voice was on Beavis & Butthead and it caught my attention

[@bmcbg]

I'm a rider myself, VTX 1800 F . I drink beer, love beer but I don't understand why a rider drinks and rides, it takes the edge and perception off. Nothing better than taking a long trip, getting to your destination and drinking beer when you stop riding

[@LuckysLair]

I limit my intake, if I'm out and about. I pace, and taper off allowing time before leaving

killer impressions especially your hank hill

[@donaldgarrett9540]

Reduced lighty? Smaller crowd all around for Saturday night. I remember people hardly being able to move on the sidewalk Saturday night on Main Street. After seeing the crowd at Biketoberfest last fall I told the wife it will never be like it was 10-20 years ago.

[@LuckysLair]

Donald Garrett compared to the 1980s and 90s the events will never be the same. I’ve lived here for 30+ years My point is that, everyone was saying it was “canceled”....”over”....done......so of course the crowds are going to be fewer. People who were only going to come for the last few days, historically the most packed days, decided to not leave home because of all the cancellations of other events around the country as the days went on....then Friday talk of “canceling Bike Week” ran rampant just like all the other hysteria.....so no Bike Week wasn’t “cancelled” and quite a few of the visitors and locals actually stayed

[@applicator40usa69]

Pretty soon all the Deer ticks will be out in my area. We're going to have Corona with lyme up here.

[@LuckysLair]

Now THAT is a bad disease, Lyme can really ruin peoples health and quality of life

[@applicator40usa69]

Yes it is for sure. Some years the Deer Ticks are so bad it's scary. I know a few people that have lyme disease. It is not good.

[@ironsteed5766]

Nice series. Been watching all ur vids. Never been to Daytona yet. Looks crowded to me.

[@davidvonzipper3353]

IronSteed you haven’t seen crowds! This year is vacant! Zero crowds! Beach Ave is empty as are all the streets which are normally chocked tire to tire going nowhere fast! This is sad snd to hear this dude claiming its not over... pinch yourself.

[@Alfie_Gale]

This probably has a really obvious answer but I live in the UK so don't know loads about Daytona bike week, but how do you know where all the lively things are? You seem to be able to find a good crowd all the time! Is it just that everywhere is busy? Or do you have like an event list to follow to find what's happening? Love your videos, keep it up!

[@LuckysLair]

I follow an event list, plus I've lived in the area for 30 years. Some places tend to busier than others, and it depends on the time of day, day of week. Many people can't afford, or can't take time off of work, so they come for the last weekend of the event...which I've noticed has always seemed to be the biggest. Unfortunately that was the week that the whole "Corona" thing blew up. So the last weekend wasn't as big as usual. But it definitely wasn't "cancelled" as reports were claiming

[@Alfie_Gale]

@@LuckysLair Oh okay, sounds brilliant, I hope to make the journey one year, still looked nice and busy, especially during the week, thank you

[@LuckysLair]

Yep, I spent most of it just travelling around, videoing, eating, drinking responsibly, talking to people...and editing videos late into the late night-early morning

[@terencemeehan8237]

Does Florida not have a helmet law or is it not enforced during bike week? Anyway, great video.

[@LuckysLair]

For adults it does not have a mandatory helmet requirement. I wear one all the time, I'm a local firefighter, and experience tells me it's a good idea. To each his own, but I (almost) always remember to recommend it in the closing of my videos

[@terencemeehan8237]

Sitting here now and the 27th looking at this and wondering how many people have died very sick

[@LuckysLair]

I haven't heard of any rash of bikers dying, or coming down sick in the news....unlike Spring Breakers that packed beaches, clubs, and bars for weeks. before, during , and after Bike Week. Commercial flights have continued coming to Florida non-stop since then, to this very day, from airports in the NYC & N.J. area...the current concentrated hotbed of the U.S. caseload.....I'd be more concerned with that. As a matter of fact the Florida Governor asked that everyone coming here from there, and Oregon/Washington as well, self quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.....but no one in NYC or NJ has said, "hey, lets just stop packing people into metal tubes and shipping them around the country. Now that we have two weeks of additional information on it, and now the media has said..hmm, it is actually worst than a flu bug, which they claimed that's all it was, in the days and weeks prior to Bike Week...and they claimed it was racist to close flights from China, until that wasn't correct either. Yep, hindsight is 20/20

[@melbourne-heat.69-71]

Me and my buddies came from Melbourne Florida had a great time.. didn't even think about the coronavirus the whole time we were there it was all about having a good time checking out everybody's bikes drinking beer checking out the women that's what it's all about...That virus isn't going to stop the Harley Davidsons from rolling into Daytona not never not ever...😎😳😎🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

[@ormondgamer7175]

You do know your on a Saturday the day before it ends correct? City of Daytona played it very well to cancel permits on Saturday morning the day before it ends anyways lol.

[@LuckysLair]

Yep, kinda silly how everyone is losing their minds over most people not immediately packing up and leaving. They literally only cancelled a handful of permits to temporary vendors, less than 24 hours before the last (real) full day of the event. And Sunday is NEVER a busy day, and doesn't really count anymore. Most are packing up to leave on Sunday, many of the vendors outside of those on Main Street are packing up Saturday night anyway. For the most part Main Street is thee main event Saturday night. I've lived in the area since 1988. People losing their minds are being ridiculous. People act as if, everyone literally should have ran about like chickens with their heads cut off, burning rubber on the way out of town.....if you've been there for a week already, I doubt another 16 or 18 hours is going to make any difference...of which you'd probably be off your bike in close proximity to others for far less than that. And finally, keep in mind this was a week ago....when it was first being splashed across the news. Not today, with a week of further information. I hope the folks who jammed the grocery stores for the past week, had on full hazmat suits while they were packed together at the check-out...what you weren't? "How dare you"

I'm sure that one day extra made ALL the difference you,saved all of Canada. You're a hero. Or perhaps you tracked it back to your loved ones? Or perhaps you never should have left Canada to come South. Perhaps you could have brought it with you? I'd been aware of the situation for several weeks, since the initial reports from China started appearing on the news....and later the doctor calling out the lies of the Chinese Communist party leaders...the Doctor who later died. Were you aware of that? Why did you leave Canada, the pandemic has been brewing for weeks prior to you coming to Florida. Perhaps you could have spread it here? Maybe you should have stayed home? Are you a border crossing bio-terrorist? How many people have you infected along the way, on your trip here, and back to Canada? See, two can play your game. Quit virtue signaling
