- Daytona SUCKS! But here is how and where to have fun. Daytona isn't the best rally, it's not even the best rally in Florida, but if you know where to go, and know the downside, you can have a blast. Here are all the links for the things in the video you'll need:

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!
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!!!
Thank you for your schedule update. WE will find YOU! 😂 Can’t wait. So so excited to see you again!! Time to see you in our state.
Thanks for the calendar of events PM, have a good time and be safe
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.
It great if you have a stock bike if not then plan on spending $3000 in ticket for your exhaust getting 2 or 3 tickets a day.
@@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.
Use to ride down to Daytona every year but when hotels hit 350-400+ per night we quit going. Just not worth it
@@calypsonotch3953 don't forget camp site aren't no cheaper at 350 a night. They seem to be trying to turn it into a Ducati/police only bike week.
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.
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!!
Great Daytona summary. Looking forward to meeting at the Boulevard Saturday 👊🏾
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 !!!
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
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
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 !!
Thank you for this video! Spot on. With any luck I will see you and Mrs Monkey this year while we are down there.
Fingers crossed!
Love your work, brother!
Much appreciated
Looking forward to a good time. See everyone there
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.
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
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!!
Love sidecars. I remember the first time I saw an Ural. Takes skill to handle those though corners for sure. Ride safe!
Looking like I won't make it the first weekend. Dying to see you guys
Damn this channel is growing fast af!
I’ll be looking for you on Sunday getting my handlebars installed by all about custom
7:00 You were referring to the Ocean Center lot. It is great.
If you haven't tried Myrtle Beach bike week it's a great time. Been there for the past 24 years and I love it.
Damn man there are enough people at Myrtle done be invited any more ! Lol
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?
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 😎
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.
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.
For me bike week is about seeing the new bikes and the supercross races
On my "someday bucket list." Thank yo for your insights!
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.
I can’t stand people rolling up in my lane beside me, if I don’t know them. At least, now I know that I am not alone.
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...
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. 🤣🤣
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!
going to Sturgis for the fort the first time this year hopefully.
Your channel IS MY SAFE SPACE!!
I’m going down to Florida in November I would love to meet you and go for a ride!!
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
Sturgis does have other events but the bike one is the big one, that's for sure.
Sturgis is also full of armed normal white Americans. Daytona is a liberal clown container
“Fur and lights” 😂😂
It’s shocking what those dudes do to those Slingshots.
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.
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?
See you Friday Bro. We will have a couple of liveations together. I will be getting in on the 1st as well.
We are setting up tomorrow and we will be working on Wednesday! See you this weekend. 👍😊
I was riding out with a guy who got pulled over for having his visor open a crack to let out fog. They trip out about eyewear
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 😊
Can't wait!
@@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 😂
Riding up Friday from PSL as well but staying on the beach this year.
Ride safe!
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.
Came through Dayton in September 1977, on a KZ 400. Bucket list - just hit 69 I'll be there next year on my Road King. Just can swing it this year.
Awesome, my first bike was a KZ400
This is my first year down to Daytona
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).
I totally agree with your take on Slingshot’s. THEY ARE
👉🏻 NOT 👈🏻 A MOTORCYCLE!
What time you going to be at the Fairing exchange.....I was planning on having them change mine out.
20:00 - I won't be there BUT does the "No colors" general rule apply to 'soft colors' too (ballcaps, t-shirts, etc.)?
Renegades on the river is nice ride out good food beer and atmosphere.
I love that big poster behind u
If it has a steering wheel you drive it if it has handlebars, you ride it
Exactly 💯. Great video thank you for sharing
Great content
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.
Ahhh DUI’s! I’m still paying since 04-11-2021😡🥴
I love Daytona but never been there for bike week
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… 😂
Slingshots by the company are not considered motorcycle.,they are classified as an “autocycle.”
Exactly my thoughts on the sling shots!! They are NOT motorcycles and do NOT need to think they are- they are SO stupid!
And thank you
Slingshots are over sized snowmobiles.
Have you ever thought about going to thunder Beach in Panama Beach
Be safe this week 🙏
I went in 01. I'll never go back. Kinda like a 3 wheel now looks like. Slingshots suck.
2:57 don't tell me how to live my life 😂
Great video you tell him brother😊
Don't sleep on Gator Harley. Chris from Cycle Solutions was there the last two years.
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.
Have a great time. I will not be at Dayton for most of the negative reasons you listed. Maybe next year.
Next time!
See y'all at the Bike Burning 🔥
I hate Slingshots. My neighbor has one that is covered in lights and a sound system that bangs 2 miles away lol.
Ugh. I don’t know how I could live with that.
@@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?
Wild Hogs cut..... I haven't stopped laughing.
You should come to panama city beach and try thunder beach rally
Galveston is becoming my favorite rally lately
What is the Dominant club in Florida now ?
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
I'll be around!
..And on the upside, it *is* a Beach.. ..and being on the right side, there may well be Surf, so don't forget to pack your Mat and Kicks.. 😎
I’ll be riding up on Tuesday the 5th
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 ,
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
Dang Monk why you throwing the OH boys under the bus lol, I like wearing my Wild Hogs Ohio cut lmao, Have a fun safe time!
😂😂
Brother wish I could join ya but bill's 1st you know how it is enjoy the week
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
Do you ever do Biketoberfest?
I have. It’s warmer and fewer people so in some ways it’s better.
Put a picture up of a slingshot because I’ve just googled it and I don’t know if I’m looking at the right thing
slingshot.polaris.com/en-us/slingshot-r/
Enjoy!
And I hope I get the chance to run into you would love to meet you in person😀👍🏻
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.
Have you ever been to steel horse rally in Arkansas
Nope.
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 think our paths will cross once or twice at least!
I park there , place your talking about . Walk main street people, don't ride through . It sucks 😂
Captain cowboyhat...love the story
curious Question! we can see you wear glasses. Do you wear prescription glasses when riding? Recommendations?
