Florida's
oldest continually operating motorcycle club
The Daytona 200 Motorcycle Club is a
non-profit organization incorporated with the state
of Florida. Our headquarters are located at 3602 W.
International Speedway Blvd. just outside the western
city limits of beautiful Daytona Beach, FL. (That's
just 1/2 mile west of the I4 overpass on U.S. Hwy. 92...Just
minutes away from all the Bike Week and Biketoberfest
activities!)
We pride ourselves in being an AMA (American
Motorcyclist Association) chartered, family-oriented
riding club.
We meet the third Saturday of each month
at the Clubhouse at 4 p.m.

Founded in May, 1943, we are one of
Florida's oldest established motorcycle clubs. The American
Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has us chartered as number
421 in 1960, but a notice in the February 1947 AMA magazine
says that the 'Daytona Beach Motorcycle Club' chartered
with them that month. This early AMA number indicates
that 1947 club was the first sign of what was to become
the Daytona 200.
We began life as a combination dirt
bike AND road riding club. Riders from all over the
world have come to Daytona to participate in our famous
'Alligator Enduro.' The enduro was founded in 1949,
and while we ran it for over 20 years, the 'Alligator
Road Tour' is now held in its place. The Road Tour is
held every year during Bike Week.
Twenty-six years ago we originated the
famous 'Toys For Tots' run for this area. This event
was November 23rd this year and brought in good money
for 'Our Children First.' This non-profit corporation
deals with various types of children who fall through
the governmental social net, such as 'A Child's Dream'
for terminally ill children, tutoring and counseling
for mentally and emotionally ill children.
We not only help the community, we also
find time to have fun! We host breakfast runs, charity
poker runs, dances and club socials. We also try to
participate in the functions of other motorcycle organizations
both local and abroad.
Anyone interested in joining the club
or just joining us for a ride, are invited and welcome
to do so. Our Club motto is: 'We don't care what you
ride; we just care that you ride.' We have every marque
and all types of motorcycles. We welcome trikes, scooters,
sportsbikes and customs. As long as you can keep up
with our legal running speed.
Our
members are good, hard-working folk, from all walks
of life and all age groups, but we all share one common
interest...Motorcycling! Good, SAFE, FUN with motorcycles.
If
you would like more info, feel free to contact one of
our Club Officers.
Come
join us. We look forward to meeting you!
