Below is a short clip of bike traffic on Main Street, and we\u2019ve also got some photos for you from Destination Daytona below.<\/p>\n<p>Destination Daytona is the main location for major aftermarket distributors (and manufacturers of some of our best-selling products) like Kuryakyn and Vance &amp; Hines. It is one of the biggest draws for rally-goers, and you might even meet some motorcycle industry bigwigs, like Willie G.
