Even Cocoa Beach is filled with bikers & they have
taken over the roads.
I just returned from the Beach & there's some super bikes
everywhere. Some riders look like they dressed up
in their Biker gear for Halloween as the Hell's Angels

DAYTONA BEACH --
Thousands are bikers are rolling into Volusia County, flooding the streets and spending money as they roar through town for this year's Biketoberfest, the annual event that officially kicks off today in Daytona Beach.
Many bikers actually came to town early and lined up their bikes along Main Street on Wednesday much to the delight of local business owners.
"Two times a year, we make money here on Main Street, and this is one of them," said Johanna Blomberg, owner of Unleashed Biker Jewelry. "Main Street is not that busy here year-round, so this brings a lot of business to the area."
Bike Week in the spring became so successful that Daytona Beach began hosting another biker fest in the fall. Additionally, event organizers said the event was created to give a boost to the region at a time of year that's typically slow. The goal was to lift the profits of local businesses that usually see an October sales dip.
"So, we get about 100,000–120,000 bikers for Biketoberfest during a time when we really need them," said Lori Campbell Baker, with the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
While Biketoberfest has never been as big as Bike Week, the annual event still generates more than $15 million for the Volusia County economy. Counties in the area, like Flagler County, also benefit from the week-long event.
"We're a tourist town, we live and die by the tourists," said Bill O'Dwyer, a Biketoberfest vendor. "Especially now that gas seems to be a little cheaper. People seem to be in a better mood to spend money,"
By the time the $15 million trickles down, tourism officials said it ends up being closer to $45 million for the local economy.
"Bikers support everything, and they spend the most out of everyone," said biker Steve Fernandez, who is in town from Connecticut.

Bikers from all over the United States and the world make it to Daytona Beach and the surrounding areas for Biketoberfest.
"I've been down here for Bike Week, but never for Biketoberfest, so it's going to be an adventure for me," Fernandez said.
Dale Gillian, in town from Tennessee, said he comes each year to meet up with old friends, adding: "Camaraderie and just getting out of the home. It’s something different."
With so many people in one area, safety is always a concern. The Florida Highway Patrol said it is sending more than 30 troopers from around the state to Central Florida to assist local troopers already assigned to the area. Troopers will be looking for drunk drivers and making sure everyone is driving safely.
The troopers will be set up at certain roads around Daytona Beach and Volusia County during Biketoberfest this weekend, including I-4, I-95, U.S. 92, State Roads 40 and 44 and County Road 415.
