The 72rd annual biker bash is about to go down in Daytona. Hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists will soon be swarming into central Florida to get their party on at the beach, cruise Main Street, do Destination Daytona and hopefully get some riding in.

Main and Beach Streets? Check. Ride on the beach and down to Ponce Inlet? Definitely.

“Bikers are people that are accustomed to praying because if you’re going to ride a motorcycle, you should know how to pray,” said Wenski, who has been riding his motorcycle for about 10 years. “This is a way to bring some good attention, find financial support for St. Luke’s Center [Catholic Charity] and have a good time.” READ ON
