Eighteen people died at Bike Week this year - a new record. 

The Florida Highway Patrol said several factors, including good weather and careless car drivers who caused some of the crashes, likely contributed to the rash of fatal crashes.

On Sunday, bikers parked their rides and bowed their heads in The Basilica of St. Paul's parking lot during a special blessing for travelers and their motorcycles -- an annual tradition at the Catholic Church in Daytona Beach marking Bike Week's close.
