Ahh, 2015 Daytona Bike Week. One of the hightlights from the weeklong rally is the Willie’s Tropical Tattoo Chopper Time Old School Chopper Show.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. professional and garage builders showcase their rolling works of art. The chopper show is in cooperation with The Horse Backstreet Choppers Magazine.
The show has grown to be a virtual extravaganza incliding guest tattoo artists, live bands, plenty of adult drinks, vendors, hotty bar girls and if that’s not enough, the bikes in the parking lot are just as cool!

What we like about this show is the down and dirty feel. The bikes are authentic. The builders are authentic. And the lifestle is authentic.
And the crowd tends to be down and dirty as well, but in a good way: you’ll see all kinds, from industry people to bikers wearing colors, but it’s all good vibes and it’s all about cool bikes.
