We'll be in Florida Jan-March and I'm thinking of driving up to daytona during Bike week. Are there any specific things to see or do or is it pretty much just wander around and look at bikes (etc).

A Canadian going to Florida during the dead of winter. Who'da thunk it? 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

The whole reason bike week came to be was because of the racing . Go to the flat track and the 200 !! Both are well worth going to and we need to support the sport 😎 Hit the beach and most people like to check Main Street at least once in their lives
ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

If you have never been, you should check out Main Street. It's quite an experience.
I didn't bother going into the masses last time I was there. I just went to the track.

Nothing like it used to be back in the day, that's why I stopped going.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

I'm still planning to drive up and maybe just walk main street for a couple of hours. I'll look into the racing as well. Anybody else? Here's the calendar by the way - I'm thinking I'll go on the saturday of the opening weekend for maximum crazy. https://officialbikeweek.com/Bike-Week-Calendar/

Go to the race track, that’ll keep you occupied for most of the day. If you like a big bike traffic jam go to Main Street or you could check out Destination Daytona (if it’s still called that) for slightly less crowded bike and accessory viewing. For me the track was the best, it is huge and takes some time to wander.
