I was there for 3 days. The Harley display was alot smaller than the last few years but still there. Lots of Demo bikes to ride & look at but not much else. No way I would walk from center of main stretch where HD was to outside turn 1 where vendors stopped, We rode bike down the center concrete path, stopping where we wanted to look and then moved down further when finished. Did appreciate the solar farm and shade/picnic tables for a little socializing.
The Beach Street lack of vendors has been well covered in the media the last few years, this area is being redeveloped. Housing, business etc are moving into this prime water side area, No more bikes/vendors, this was publicized last year during bikeweek. Daytona Indian (the old Daytona HD) had several events, shows but with them being the only game on the street not many visitors.
Ormond seemed to be hopping in the Bar area and the Big dealer had about the same amount of vendors as usual & if Main Street is your thing it seemed to be very busy both times I was there. Music actually seemed good.
Had a good time and will continue to go, just not as many venue's as in past.
