This is the South Daytona Lions Club commemorative BMW pin for Daytona Beach Bike Week in 1993.
This was my first Bike Week and, of course, I rode from Indianapolis and camped with the Space Coast BMW Club at the now-defunct Bulow Campgrounds north of Daytona. Happily, I found several Indianapolis BMW Club friends there.
It was below freezing and there was snow on the ground when I left home. I’d bought a huge Carhart coverall to wear over my leathers and I’m sure I looked like an overstuffed sofa rolling down I-65. I replaced it with a purpose-made cold weather riding suit I bought from a vendor at Daytona and the ride home was much more comfortable and considerably less embarrassing.
