How about Daytona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) uhhh it goes back to this lady tryin to ride a busI think we've came a long way since then. That is irrelevant now. Now it's just a form of segregation. I believe it's a spit in the face to other bikers. Represent the biking community as a whole, not a race. Standing up to it though and saying something is taboo in today's society. How we got like that...I have no idea. That's my PSA for the day.Also, for the good of the forum we should stay away from any issues dealing with ethnic groups. It's like politics and religion...it's leads to no good.

conn-e-rot Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm hoping to get back to deals gap in July or August with some other people the campground i found down there has bunk houses that sleep 10 for 150/night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Same here, but only acknowledging one group in the biker community is not cool. I say we rename it bikeweek for all colors. Yes even the polka dotted people.I hope to hit up Deals Gap this year with 929rr on here.

nochknstrps Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Here is the deal about "black bike week", not trying to start shit just trying to shed some light on it being from the south and all. Yes way back when it was orgainized by black bikers for black bikers. Only because the beach itself was segregated. The far north end of the beach was for blacks only. Now that segregation is over and everyone can go where they want it just so happens that tradition of meeting a certain week of the month of may for black bikers still exist. But to say that black bike week is for blacks only now would be saying hip/hop and rap is only for black, which we all know is not the case. You can all walks of life during the so called "black bike week".If you wanted to put a title on either week you would say the first week is the Crusier week then the next week is sportbike week. Sense you don't see too many colored people on harleys its majority white. The next week would fall during the traditional "black bike week" with mostly sport bikes and a much younger crowd.What it boils down to is tradition and because its in the south which has a bad history of racism it just seems wrong.

phop5 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 it actually started out "Atlantic Beach Bike Week" in 1980; and was later dubbed "Black Bike Week" and just so happened that alot of the attendees ride sportbikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
