Gathering at a Bike Week event in Sturgis, Daytona Beach or Laconia is about meeting up with friends, riding together, being with like-minded people, partying, and enjoying the sound and the fury of thousands of bikes. Let’s face it, it’s also about showing off.
I cannot adequately describe the level of art some people put on their bikes and their bodies. Of course, I’ll try anyway. I’m not counting the beautifully restored and flawlessly polished motorcycles that show off the designer’s art to the fullest. I mean the paint, accessories and details that make a bike unique, and the tattoos displayed by men and women in the Weirs Beach sun.
That’s a nicely modified machine. This “USO bike” paint job looks like photography.
Wow! How long did THAT take?? This one’s another “Wow.”
Tattoo art is evident everywhere, with artists on site and plenty of skin bared in the heat.
Laconia’s Bike Week is a feast for the eyes! I wonder if these riders ever thought they were really doing a moving art exhibit…
