- Daytona Black Bike Week 2022: Daytona Bike Week
This has become one of my Favorite Events to attend.
Unofficial Black Bike Week in Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach has a very interesting history. My grandfather told me back when he was young, the discriminations in Daytona Beach was very clear and evident. Black Vendors had a hard time selling products and getting a spot on Main Street aka Beach side, so to help their community and make some money on the other side of the tracks, Black Bike Week was set up near one of the most known HBCUs in Florida, Bethune Cookman University.
"The necessity for separation was created by segregation during Daytona Bike Week’s dark past. Black Bike Week - on Second Avenue (since renamed Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune Blvd) - has grown to be the laid-back alternative to the crazy world of Cole-slaw Wrestling, high prices, machismo at the silicone-enhanced version of the event.
Visitors to the annual Daytona Beach Bike Week celebration have taken home many, many traffic citations as souvenirs. But the story of biker legend Tommy Asberry during the Daytona Bike Week of 1971 has to be among the most memorable of them all.
“I was ticketed for parking my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide in among all the Hondas and Triumphs on Main Street,” said Asberry. “The police told me I couldn’t be parking a bike there, leaking oil like that, so I had to move along.”
Of course, oil-seeping Harleys are as much a part of the Daytona scene as overpriced beer and cheap T-shirts you’ll never wear. Asberry’s problem wasn’t the color of the 40-weight dripping from his crankcases - it was the color of his skin.
And like tens of thousands of other black motorcyclists who showed up for - but were eventually turned away from - Bike Week during the rally’s early years, Asberry eventually found a more hospitable place to park his motorcycle. The social conditions that contributed to bogus traffic tickets and parking citations for black riders may have changed or transformed a bit during the last five decades, but Daytona’s Second Avenue (Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune Blvd), a three-block collection of Baptist churches, hair salons, and bars, continues to thrive.
Ever since the Second Avenue scene emerged out of bitterness and necessity in 1949 it continues to grow in popularity. It is this spirit of resilience that keeps Black Bike Week together, as it attracts an international mix of riders who, like the founders, come looking for a more family-oriented alternative to the raucous, corporate-sponsored mayhem of Daytona’s Main Street."

Good to see everybody getting alone One race One Love keep on riding.(NITE TRAIN IN THE WIND.😊
So many different styles of bikes! Nice video.
Thanks!
Thank you for the education. Love seeing those big wheels!!!
Thanks, glad you read the description.
@Cuzzintruck indeed. i can appreciate the way we got into our conglomerate mess. Humans are silly when we come to our emotions. Prejudices are wrought in unexpressed anger toward a whole-birthed through an individual wrong. In the end, there is no justice in injustice and the individual must account for themself. Thank you again. Two wheels down...
Some dope bikes. Big ass wheels!
White Bike Week has a lot of sports bikes lately. Everyone gets along no matter what you ride.

Ohh hell yeah man, love black bike week white bike week, green bike week. Pick a goddamn color and I'm down!!lol I have a custom Heritage Softail and Road King but i always respect the shit out of them brothers riding Road Glides and Street Glides.... Shit I'm Puerto Rican and don't give a damn what color you are, I just appreciate the hell out of the artwork because that's what it is. Everybody has their own flavor and at the end of the day should bring us all together. Fuck it's all wind therapy, keep them shiny side up and ride safe!!! Getting ready for Kings of The South here in Atlanta, that's always a good time!
Where is this location. Ive been to daytona but not the black bike rally 😮
Near Bethune Cookman College
Next week is Daytona White bike week 2023
Plenty to do for everyone in all of Central Florida during Bike Week. Hang out with friends at Cabbage Patch, Daytona Motor Speedway, and Main Street, then roll with partners over to Bethune Cookman so they can enjoy these beautiful brother's and sister's! Come and experience it next year. 😎
Some of those custom bikes are beautiful but watch the riders flip out if one speck of dust gets on it.
Well, you'd have to actually ride them in order for them to get dirty, so they'll be fine.
@@bruisersdilemma354 lol right on!!

"White bike week," completely surrounds this site and the rest of Central Florida during Bike Week. We can do our own thing similar to all the other bikers in Daytona! 😎
Stop crying
@Jeff Bezos you are the only person crying in this conversation. Do you have something relevant to say about "Bike Week!"
@@oldsklrt1 cry baby
Personally not a fan of show bikes . Big oversized wheels and candy paint. Y’all not riding those bikes every day. To me they not real bikes.
This is a very uneducated comment! Not only are these show bike but we ride them as well. Most rider including myself rode to the event. And I rode from Texas!
@@texascatdaddy you not riding those bikes on the daily. I don’t believe you. Just because you rode to the event doesn’t mean you ride them daily. 😂 they too clean to be daily bikes. You only pull those out for events . Cmon man
In the city we try to ride everyday that the weather permits us to big wheels & all🤣
@@antneeburger you not riding that in rain and what not😂😂😂😂
