We always go to Florida for Daytona Bike Week ( March )
I believe Biktoberfest is not quite as busy.

There is lots of parking in Daytona but you have too pay about $10

We usually park at the Greek Orthadox Church at the bottom of Main Street,I think the road is called Halifax.

Orlando Harley Davidson have a small clothing store on Main street that has lot's of bargains T Shirts around $10 this shop is well worth a look

The main Harley Dealership is on Beach Street ( which is walkable from Main st over the bridge )

There is also Destination Daytona ( Bruce Rossmeyers main dealership ) at Ormond Beach on Interstate 95, personally I do not like this place much prefer Main st

have fun

We go to both Bike week and to Biketoberfest every year. We love it. If you go to the end of the speedway boulevard then turn right as you get to the beach you will see a little car park with toilet facilites etc on the left hand side. It is free and never full. We always go there then stroll back up to Main Street.

Both events are very similar and have the same amount of bikes.
If you check out any of my trip reports in the October in my signature, you will see photos from the day.

Hope that helps

Pretty much the same - we normally go on the thursday or friday and although it is busy, you can still get artound and see all the bikes.
Think we are there Friday this year from our provisional itinerary.
