“When I think of Daytona I have always thought of Willie’s Tropical Tattoo show as THE event for our home bike-builder culture,” said Edge, the founder of the Smoke Out. “This was a special year in a way. Everyone knows Willie had a bad bike accident and at this event I think a lot of people were grateful that the show continued and we are just grateful for Willie.”
The 29th Annual Biketoberfest–
October 14-17, 2021
Biketoberfest celebrated a full-throttle lifestyle born on two wheels. Motorcycle enthusiasts come together during the four-day rally each year to enjoy beautiful Florida weather, live music, motorcycle racing at Daytona International Speedway, and miles of scenic rides along famous A1A, historic Main Street or the scenic Loop.
They experienced the Southeast’s best motorcycle rally featuring motorcycle shows, custom bike builds and hundreds of the industry’s top vendors throughout Daytona Beach. All roads lead to this rally.
Biketoberfest this year was a collection of activities that take place at venues and businesses in cities throughout Volusia County and beyond. Local hotels, businesses, parks and beaches were open for visitors to enjoy the area’s beautiful October weather and scenic rides. We ask all our visitors who do decide to travel to please visit responsibly.
And our Bandit’s Cantina crew won’t miss mister Willie’s Show and the Smoke Out Party.

“I had a chance to really watch Chris and Heather Callen (Cycle Source Magazine) in action and it hit me that these are people that can not only continue the Smoke Out but they will take it to that next level,” said Edge. “They have great organizational skills. They can implement new ideas in a way that shows respect for the past and a deep understanding of our culture. I mean… of course, they have always been part of the culture… and they will move the Smoke Out forward in a way no outside promoter ever could. I’m excited about the new Smoke Out, coming soon.”
