Bike Week is a bike show

With hundreds of thousands of bikers attending Daytona Bike Week, this is the place for custom-bike builders to show off their best work and try to make a name for themselves.

The most impressive machines in town can be found at shows such as the Boardwalk Association Classic Ride-in Bike Show, the Boardwalk Association's Chopper and Custom Bike Show, and the Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show.

And that's just the big ones. Actually, all of Bike Week is a bike show, as motorcycles line every street and just staking out a spot on Main Street guarantees a day-long passing parade of every kind of motorcycle imaginable.

If you want to see even more motorcycles that qualify as art, take a short ride down I-4 to the Orlando Museum of Art to see "The Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit.

But enough words. With customs and cruisers, it's all about the look. Check back all week to see photos of the most outrageous, the most creative, the most just-plain-beautiful motorcycles as they roll into Daytona.
