Indian Motorcycles will unveil their new engine to the public on March 9th at Dirty Harry’s Pub. They’ve planned a big event, bringing in Mike Wolfe, of American Picker fame and are hinting at an even bigger surprise to come. While the event is not open to the general public, (only registered VIP’s and Press) it’s undoubtedly going to cost Polaris more than just a few coins.
Besides events for the general public, corporate shingdigs like this demonstrate the economic impact of the spring Bike Week as hundreds of local businesses depend on the influx of motorcycle owners to start the cash registers ringing early.
Besides the money spent on Indian, Polaris is investing heavily in Victory with events all over the Daytona area during bike week. A Victory bike night at the Broken Spoke March 12th, A custom bike show March 13th at Volusia Motorsports, and a Victory Patio party at BJ’s Brewhouse on International Speedway Blvd on March 13th. A new Victory dealership at 402 N. Beach St. will have a grand opening party March 14th. A Victory ride and reception will start at 11am March 15th from Volusia Motorsports and ride to the Victory Reception at the Blue Grotto in the Halifax Marina (1-3pm)
Harley-Davidson is going all out as well in Daytona with events that tie into the 100th anniversary of the iconic brand.
