Get a bumper sticker that says "Not A Real Biker! REEEEEEEEEE!" 😂 I love the trailer! Then you get to take the bike, the golf cart, the scooter, liquor, food.... so much savings and convenience. You do you Brother!
Agree 100% with you about Slingshots. Also, really discouraged about the intimidation of law enforcement at key venues. Their presence says DONT STOP HERE OR WELL GET YOU. It sucks!!!
Spot on about the sling shots man! A menace here in Texas too. And the pizza cutter DB factor is getting bad here too. Spot on video man. Keep doin what you do.
I live about an hour from Daytona. I have no desire to be surrounded by the craziness, but I love motorcycles and riding. Here's an option: Meet up with your buddies, and go for a ride. There are several decent places to ride not far from Daytona. If you want ideas, let me know. I know dozens of good roads in the area.
We have 2 Harley's with sidecars and two without. Most people on two wheels couldn't ride a bike with a sidecar and do it well. It's a learned skill. And, when we go to rallies, we can fit a whole week worth of groceries for three couples in the sidecar. And yes, it is a motorcycle!! Two Ultra Classics. Keep up the good work Professional Monkey!!
Hopefully I will see you and the Mrs this year! Anyway be safe and enjoy ! The Bike burning is very cool event !! Also they have a Bike sound competition going on too. Lots to do!!
I love Daytona. I ride down by myself, I buy bike stuff, walk around, people watch, go to bike shows and ride around the swamps/forests. You are right about the douchebags…. Hotel prices suck because I am not a camper.
@@michaeladdison4461 ... Welp you can thank our 'Freedom' loving Gub'ner for that, he signed via 'Executive Order' the loud stereo ticket law. Loud pipes has already been on the books just like in all the other states and our Intersection/Parking lot burnout takeover law went through Tallahassee several years ago and got passed so... if you promote/video/post to social media without proper press credentials you can be charged.
@frankspinski161 I am in freedom loving calforina. Everything here is illegal . The only difference is by the mass of numbers there just really no law enforcement. Within 10 miles of me there over 15 million people and probably only 200,000 cops in a 30 mile range.
When i was the Warranty Manager and shop Foreman at Low Country HD in South Carolina, we used to ship guys to (then) Bruce Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona for bike week, and they in turn would send people to out Myrtle Beach Stores for out Rallies, and i got sent to Daytona a couple of times to work long rally hours but our night life was fun, but i will say i preferred the fall Daytona to the spring, but like for you Sturgis is your Favorite, and for me it's Laconia, in many way Laconia is a smaller version of Sturgis, because New Hampshire and Maine have beautiful Mountains and lakes like Sturgis, and then an hour away from Laconia HQ in the NH/Maine Beaches some of the most beautiful in the world, and to me Laconia being the 1st, it's also the last of the OLD Biker Rallies, My 2nd favorite is Myrtle Beach, it's a bit disorganized and the town of MB has tried to kill it for years, but again it's to me a bikers Rally..........Daytona and Sturgis to me are more the Celebrity Rallies, the big stars and world travelers go to those 2 rallies, where Laconia and Myrtle beach are smaller and even though we have riders from all over the world, it's still a lot more regional in the NH and SC Rallies and there are more people on BIKES and less in Campers, not that there is anything wrong with campers, the New Hampshire Speedway Campground is quickly becoming like the Sturgis campgrounds. But No matter Hope you and your wife have a Great time in Daytona, and a safe week, and maybe one day before i DIE lol i'll Talk y'all into trying LACONIA !!
Agree about the doucebag factor and the Slingshot hate but I'll throw in a CanAm slant, I was trying to think up a derogatory name for the 3 wheeler and was stumped, then while sitting on the ledge outside Froggy's quite a few years ago with a old racing buddy of mine that has been coming to Daytona for the 'Races' since 1956, as a CanAm went by he said "Dare goes one of dem 'Zero Turns"! I laffed PERFECT! Remember on the CanAm's, in many states you don't need a M/C endorsement to ride them, just have to view a Safety DVD before riding. (and lets not even go into the 'Trikes'... TrikeWeek anyone?) Oh and another thing out by the Cabbage Patch/Cackleberry that would probably not be a 'Daytona' cop but our County Sheriff's.
I roll may may through Main street.. I am not a fan of that part of bike week. I prefer all the broken spoke, beaver bar and Cacklebury / cabbage patch.
If you get a chance to go to Saint Augustine before you cross the lions bridge, going into town on the left-hand side is a restaurant that has the best shrimp, best vegetables and homemade pies cash only fifth generation it is called. O’steen’s. They have other things to pick from two but I’ve been going there for 27 years. I love their shrimp.
Love it when you get on a roll! I agree on the LE angle Sturgis vs. Daytona. I was in it for 40 years. Can't understand some. Hope to run into you somewhere next week
Aaaaaaaamennnnnn on the DB Factor at Daytona! Amen the Daytona Bike Week Cops need to take a chill pill. (I’m a retired cop) It makes me upset cuz it’s the first big rally of the year. I’d love to go south and ride. But there also aren’t a ton of places to ride to. I’ll just save my money and go to Sturgis. Also the dominant down there is nowhere near as nice as Sturgis.
Cool, sounds like a great time to debut my Pro Monkey Nation/Hurley Durbilson slingshot. Will be bumpin some Lawrence Welk and other badass big band music. Even disconnected 2 cylinders so it has a mean bumpy bump. P.s. also trailering it down cause I'm not a real slingshooter. 🤣🤣
I was gonna go to Daytona this year, but I am having back surgery on the eighth so I'll be down for a month or 2. Thank you for all that information. I was really looking forward to meeting you and Daytona. You and the wifei love all your contact. God bless you and your family and please be safe
bahahha, I was the official 1000 person to like the video, Haven't been to Daytona Bike week as a full grown adult with my own bike. Maybe 85th anniversary week (2025).
Damn, it'd be cool to see the D.A.M. Show...since i turn 65 that day! But, impossible. I'll have to hope for decent weather and to be able to pedal my highrider that day. Should have my grandsons that day too, WOO-HOO!
That K of D sign behind you is kinda freaking me out. Anyway, I think Daytona has more of a fun factor if you’re from the cold and frozen north. As far as the cops, I think they walk a line of being too strict vs just keep people safe because Daytona residents are hammered all year long with Speed Weeks, Daytona 500 massive crowds, Bike Week, Black Bike Week, a months worth of Spring break crowds, Jeep Beach, July NASCAR race, tourists all year long, Biketoberfest, Turkey Rod Run at the Speedway and then events for the Holidays. Sturgis is a sleepy little town that has one event and I think the residents actually enjoy the revenue and put up with the crowds.
They need to talk to government in Myrtle beach and ask them how many millions of dollars they lost screwing with the Harley bike week and trying to shut it down
Daytona used be the shiznet back in 95 & 2000. Went in 08 never again. Even Sturgis not what it used to be. Still love doing the fall ride in Tennessee mountains.
When I was still living in Clearwater, we would do the Leesburg weekend, for my that was just more fun, Daytona was just too big and despite some cool stuff, just didn't have the same vibe as Leesburg...hope to be there this year...
I will be coming Wednesday and staying Cacklebery Campground this be my second time maybe I will meet you and let you try some North Georgia moonshine lol
Don’t forget the FRIED BOLOGNA sandwich at Iron Horse. Also, there is a ride in bagger show on Friday near Bethune Cookman from 3-6 that should be interesting as well.
Holy smokes, that's a very respectable schedule. Take it easy and don't forget to party yourself 😅 The art wall in your garage turned out really nicely, perfect background for this type of videos. One question if I may, where is that sign with your last name from? Let me guess, it is from your dad's old business? Have a great time, stay out of trouble 😊
@@ProfessionalMonkeyDo slingshots ever go to Sturgis? If they do, how are they treated by bikers at the Sturgis rally? Especially the ones who try to act like one of them because they think a slingshot is a motorcycle 😂
the lot at the end i love to use that's at almost at the turn around spot on main st across from the gas station show that happens. Rather not park on main st because of what I've seen the couple of past times i've been drop their bikes trying to get on to leave OR the cops think they have a stolen bike end up nearly dropping one onto other bikes and beat and bang on the other bikes next to the one they are looking at. Took a live last year where they nearly dropped a bike onto one that was next to the bike they were concerned about and one officer actually nearly knocked down another bike when they went to pull and drag that bike off of main street. yeah kinda hard to call something that has a steering wheel a bike just saying. Well hope to run into you and Mrs. Monkey at the rally at some point which I'm sure I will even if its by accident like at Sturgis last year. See ya at the rally be safe and see ya soon.
I mate great video. I love Florida I've been a few time while serving in the Royal navy. Came along side in Jacksonville. But what do you mean be don't wear your colours?
Great video !!!! You had me crying when you were talking about your wife riding up and you were trailering your bikes in the Rv 😂🤣😭 love your videos !!!
Do we really need to epxlain to people that a Slingshot is a car? you don't need a motorcycle endorsement to drive one. . . . case and point. Back to picking my nose, now.
Nice to see Tall. Slingshot is a car like the Morgan is a car, except the Morgan has class. Main Street will be blackened from all the footdraggers. Enjoy.
@@ProfessionalMonkey They are night owls and so I like to rev my bike up nice and loud early in the morning for them. Gotta warm her up properly right?
Being in Gainesville we used to go every year but your right the weekend warriors who believe just because they own a bike they know how to ride , they get drunk get out in the road act billy badass and cause a scene . The cops your right again , won't go into that but yup . So now I just stay away not worth it ,
Daytona cop issue is because of the news hound chief. Does crap for self promotion. If you ride to daytona one year...you have seen it all. Every year is the same vendors,bands,etc. The only changes are strippers slinging drinks. No point in going there
I've been watching your videos for the past 2 years, and it just dawned on me that I wasn't subscribed. So this is my official public apology for my poor behavior. I owe you a beer and a fireball shot.
Watched, enjoyed, learned - thanks. Never been to Daytona, but now, I think it would be fun & I have a good idea of where to go. Thanks..... Rubber side down 😎
I love going to Daytona. I like the vendors and I like to people watch. More than anything just riding. Main Street is fun but I hit it during the day before the crazy happens. Not a fan of the goons that think rolling around hitting the rev limiters is cool and yes the slingshots suck.
I lived just north of Daytona in Palm Coast about 17-18 yrs ago … and that’s when it was already plummeting when I was there….. and it’s only gotten worse …… still 80% of out of towners that all think their personal motorcycle is the best thing on the planet……. …….. and ofc…. Everybody brings their kids ….. and it’s NOT great ….. seeing Titties flying and hearing bikes hit their rev limiters and be like “ok Bobby, let’s just close your ears and eyes and you’ll have a great time”. “Mommy and daddy needs this” type stuff….. Just saying 😂😂😂 i mean that’s what we’re really all doing with this conversation…. 4:18 you’re a great guy man. I think if I could have been around you or the sort of atmosphere of better acting ppl you’re probably around… my time there would have probably been a lot better. Be blessed man. They are harassing…… and there are making serious money off of those ppl out there that are already of the gate thinking that how everyone acts there is actually legal 😂😂😂😂
I grew up in Volusia County. And no the cops do not want the bikers there. They make it their mission to make sure you have the worst time, So you will not come back. And this has been their stand since the 80s. I don't think it's going to change. Most locals avoided bike week just because they know they are just going to get harassed.
Yup go to Daytona to see friends. I agree on the slingshots...o my lord....and yup Daytona brings the crazies lots of times. Been going since 1976. I have seen some awesome things and some WTF things. Seems to be getting worse on the snowflake front. On the cop front there are tons of cops brought in, like Sturgis, but unlike Sturgis they seem to have a big chip on their shoulder.
Man, I just bought a slingshot and I agree with you, people do stupid things to them, and it's not a motorcycle. I got mine due to health reason, sucks giving up 2 wheels but this gets me in the wind. Trust me not all slingshot owners are bad lol
There isn't a damn thing wrong with having a Slingshot, I bet they're a lot of fun, but for the same reason someone would buy any convertible car. I just don't get why they come to motorcycle rallies and try to go down mainstreet.
@@ProfessionalMonkey I agree, I don't think they should be at motorcycle rallies, it's not a motorcycle even if it's "classified" as one, it's still not a motorcycle
IMO can-ams and slingshots are an extention of the motorcycle culture...they offer a great option for those who for various reasons should not be on two wheels...case in point my oldest brother and my sister-law...it's apparent that they are here to stay...however I those slingshot with the copious lights and music are annoying and too the big wheel baggers not so much because the big wheel but the obnoxiously loud music...but to each his own...
Just like Sturgis, they bring in extra cops from other much smaller towns. These cops don't see much action and this is a time for them to live out their enforcement wet dreams. Your larger city or town cops don't act like this so much.
So Cool that you are hanging out with the Badgers… tried reaching out the the Fairing Exchange about the Shark Demon lights for the Road Glide ST… but hadn’t heard back, do you know anything as to whether they have spots open?
That was hilarious! LMAO! “My wife is going to take her bike ,,,, and I’m gonna throw a chain over my back and drag my other bike and wear my RV like a back pack and I’m going to sleep on the dirt” LMAO! Still chuckling 2 hours later. I’ve heard other Content Creators say the PO PO are jerks too. Have a great week at the Rally Monkey and don’t drink 64 of em all at once. LOL!
Same damn thing happened to me going to the cabbage patch it was 4 years ago colder than hell and my goggles fogged up and i pulled them up to wipe the fog out and john law gave me hell over it

I agree with you. Sling shots are cars not motorcycles.
If it has anything more than two wheels, it is not a motorcycle. How is that so hard for them?
@@stanleymasterson1135 what is a trike 🤔
The company does not consider it a motorcycle its ,
they are classified as an “autocycle.”
It the only bike that doesn't get a ticket for exhaust.
@RanGer-498 They might not see it as a car. But we do. Front windshield, Has a steering wheel and Seat belts. Has a Chevrolet motor in it. It's a car.
Get a bumper sticker that says "Not A Real Biker! REEEEEEEEEE!" 😂 I love the trailer! Then you get to take the bike, the golf cart, the scooter, liquor, food.... so much savings and convenience. You do you Brother!

For me bike week is about seeing the new bikes and the supercross races
Definitely look for ya at the luau on monday ... if not im staying at fastlane so maybe see you at the bike burning. Have fun be safe

Looking like I won't make it the first weekend. Dying to see you guys
going to Sturgis for the fort the first time this year hopefully.
I'm looking to make a big purchase while I'm down there. Do you know any good Slingshot dealers?
Yeah there’s one at the corner of blow me st and your mom ave… 😂

Renegades on the river is nice ride out good food beer and atmosphere.

Watched, enjoyed, learned - thanks. Never been to Daytona, but now, I think it would be fun & I have a good idea of where to go. Thanks..... Rubber side down 😎
I love going to Daytona. I like the vendors and I like to people watch. More than anything just riding. Main Street is fun but I hit it during the day before the crazy happens. Not a fan of the goons that think rolling around hitting the rev limiters is cool and yes the slingshots suck.
Be safe this week 🙏
Hey Pro Monkey. Hoping your guys at The Fairing Exchange, have the Custom Dynamics Shark Demon headlight. Planning to stop by them on Day 1🤞🏼🙏🏼.
They do! Paul told me he got a few more so hit him up soon!
@@ProfessionalMonkey I was on their site and sent them a message. However, not to Paul directly. Hopefully someone will respond. Thank you!!
@@ProfessionalMonkey Haha. He just responded. Thanks brother!
We are setting up tomorrow and we will be working on Wednesday! See you this weekend. 👍😊
I lived just north of Daytona in Palm Coast about 17-18 yrs ago … and that’s when it was already plummeting when I was there….. and it’s only gotten worse …… still 80% of out of towners that all think their personal motorcycle is the best thing on the planet…….
…….. and ofc…. Everybody brings their kids ….. and it’s NOT great ….. seeing
Titties flying and hearing bikes hit their rev limiters and be like
“ok Bobby, let’s just close your ears and eyes and you’ll have a great time”.
“Mommy and daddy needs this”
type stuff…..
Just saying 😂😂😂 i mean that’s what we’re really all doing with this conversation….
4:18 you’re a great guy man.
I think if I could have been around you or the sort of atmosphere of better acting ppl you’re probably around… my time there would have probably been a lot better.
Be blessed man.
They are harassing…… and there are making serious money off of those ppl out there that are already of the gate thinking that how everyone acts there is actually legal 😂😂😂😂
Brother wish I could join ya but bill's 1st you know how it is enjoy the week
Are you going to show the UPS bike (brown sugar)
I don’t think so. I’ll be riding it a lot but it doesn’t stack up to a lot of the bikes at the shows.
Lmao the slingshots and their 87 loud speakers and strobe lights😂And they’re never playing a song you like😅😅
I'd probably like the songs if I knew Spanish lol
I grew up in Volusia County. And no the cops do not want the bikers there. They make it their mission to make sure you have the worst time, So you will not come back. And this has been their stand since the 80s. I don't think it's going to change. Most locals avoided bike week just because they know they are just going to get harassed.
And I hope I get the chance to run into you would love to meet you in person😀👍🏻
Yup go to Daytona to see friends. I agree on the slingshots...o my lord....and yup Daytona brings the crazies lots of times. Been going since 1976. I have seen some awesome things and some WTF things. Seems to be getting worse on the snowflake front. On the cop front there are tons of cops brought in, like Sturgis, but unlike Sturgis they seem to have a big chip on their shoulder.
I park there , place your talking about . Walk main street people, don't ride through . It sucks 😂
See y'all at the Bike Burning 🔥
Man, I just bought a slingshot and I agree with you, people do stupid things to them, and it's not a motorcycle. I got mine due to health reason, sucks giving up 2 wheels but this gets me in the wind. Trust me not all slingshot owners are bad lol
There isn't a damn thing wrong with having a Slingshot, I bet they're a lot of fun, but for the same reason someone would buy any convertible car. I just don't get why they come to motorcycle rallies and try to go down mainstreet.
@@ProfessionalMonkey I agree, I don't think they should be at motorcycle rallies, it's not a motorcycle even if it's "classified" as one, it's still not a motorcycle
IMO can-ams and slingshots are an extention of the motorcycle culture...they offer a great option for those who for various reasons should not be on two wheels...case in point my oldest brother and my sister-law...it's apparent that they are here to stay...however I those slingshot with the copious lights and music are annoying and too the big wheel baggers not so much because the big wheel but the obnoxiously loud music...but to each his own...
What is the Dominant club in Florida now ?
Have you ever been to the "bikefest" at Lake of the Ozarks?!?!?
Not yet. I’d like to but have never been able to make it fit.
Just like Sturgis, they bring in extra cops from other much smaller towns. These cops don't see much action and this is a time for them to live out their enforcement wet dreams. Your larger city or town cops don't act like this so much.
So Cool that you are hanging out with the Badgers… tried reaching out the the Fairing Exchange about the Shark Demon lights for the Road Glide ST… but hadn’t heard back, do you know anything as to whether they have spots open?
Big Shout out to my Guy Lone Wolf McQuaade!!!
Hopefully you don’t meet him next week!!! He’ll be in front of Cacklebery being all “John Q” on everyone.
That was hilarious! LMAO! “My wife is going to take her bike ,,,, and I’m gonna throw a chain over my back and drag my other bike and wear my RV like a back pack and I’m going to sleep on the dirt” LMAO! Still chuckling 2 hours later. I’ve heard other Content Creators say the PO PO are jerks too. Have a great week at the Rally Monkey and don’t drink 64 of em all at once. LOL!
Glad you enjoyed it
Same damn thing happened to me going to the cabbage patch it was 4 years ago colder than hell and my goggles fogged up and i pulled them up to wipe the fog out and john law gave me hell over it
I remember going down to Daytona for spring break in 1990-91 & yes the cops were idiots back then. I guess nothing changes with that mentality.
