The unofficial start to the motorcycle riding season is always the Daytona Bike Week which is held during the spring time. This event usually sees about 500,000 motorcycling enthusiasts attending and the Daytona Beach economy will normally take in about $300 million.
This is a definite entry on your bucket list if you consider yourself a keen motorcyclist. If you can manage to get there just once, you're pretty likely go back multiple times in the future.

They were not wrong to be worried but only about the number of attendees. Most of the hotels that would usually be filled to capacity were flashing vacancy signs for the whole week. But other than that, you would not have noticed anything else out of the ordinary.
