- Daytona Black Bike Week | Bethune Cookman University | Bike Week 2021
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 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."

Thank you for showing this side of Daytona Bike week at Bethune Cookman University. When we come down from the north east coast we need this!
I found out about this event 3yrs ago. Its definitely kinda like a word of mouth event.
I love my people!!! Great shots and edits 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! its always a great event.
FLORIDA LIFE! Never miss bike week. 😎
Tre you have the best all-time Daytona bike week vids! Keep’em com’n!
You only get the best when you watch black bike week
I was wondering why there were two seperate events, I just read the description and found out why. I have not been to either one but would steer toward the event off of main street which sounds like it's more family oriented. Keep the shiny side up ladies and gents...💯👌🏽👊🏽
Thank you for reading the description. It all still falls under bike week, but the separation started years ago.
We need a white bike week!
Well go get one Pink man and get off of this page.
It's lit 🔥🔥 🔥
SMH...Most dope video of cars and bikes at Daytona!!! ✌️😱⚡️😎
Appreciate it!!
I understand the big front tire is for style but sometimes you just need function over styling especially on a 2 wheel machine that can cost you your life
Cool
PDR Dirty Sprite bike 👍
I've never been and plan on going next year what area should someone stay in? What street is this on?
Its on Dr Mary Mcleod Bethune Blvd. Every hotel in Daytona will be extremely expensive.
What day does this start?
2nd week of Bike Week in March
What would you say to "white bike week"?
oh, you mean Sturgis? I think its fine.
