Attachment 246925 Just 10 more day till my ride to Daytona. Looks like 10 of us so far going and 16 coming back. We met with some in ST. Augustine and Jacksonville. This could turn out to be quite interesting. I've always had fun with the trip to daytona but never with this many folks.
Be safe,,,,,,,,
Have fun on your trip. I have always preferred to ride alone.
Most of the time i also ride alone. I have a trip to Oklahoma this coming spring that will be just me and one to St. Louis solo.Quote:

From what i see on the weather channel Daytona may be over before it starts. The himacane may stop the rally. If that happens panama city is the next week.
Yep not looking real good righ now,, tc
I've never been to Daytona's Bike Week. Been to Sturgis 5 times and 4 Corners once (rode...not trailered!)
I did, very UNEXPECTEDLY, go to Black Bike Week, in N.C. Once....ONCE!!! Unbeknownce to us (wife and 2 sons), we planned our famliy vacation ine year at the exact time as Black Bike Week. Yes, it really is called 'Black' bike week. After some research, it was started after the 'people of color' where, to say the least, not too warmly welcomed at Dayton's (spring) bike week, as well as Carolina's Harley Dealer's rally. Soooo, they started their own. Which, by the way, is the week after the spring Daytona bike week...only in Mertle Beach.
Live and learn!!
Same here. Riding alone is fun and can be relaxing. Riding with a hundred others you have more visibility but they can "encourage" me to ride like a crazy person. "If you ain't living on the edge you're taking up too much space." :tuQuote:

Even my last trip was 5600 all on the seat( some upside down in the ditch ). But it's not in a trailer. Ride hard Steel. Tc
I agree completely. I bought the bike to ride not look at. I rode years ago and stopped. Then after 31-35 years I decided to start back. I got a 2004 1300 Honda and dept it 2 years then traded for a 2006 Heritage the traded it a few months ago. So far this one is sooooo comfortable to ride. At my age it may be the last one i buy. If it holds up like a friend of mine has it will. He's got over 100,000 miles on his.Quote:

Good luck, hope most things are back to normal soon. Tc
Had a good ride to Panama bike rally. 10 of us went yesterday. 500 miles Half of which was cross country. I call the wife last nite at about 8 PM and all was well the about 15 minutes after we hung up she called back. Her mother passed. I got up this morning and hit the road at about 7:30AM and got back at about 6:45pm. This wasn't a good year.
Can I smile and then frown to the same post.....
I guess you can. Her mother was 95 and in very bad health. She was confined to the bed and very weak. Her quality of life was not good. She was in pain and on oxygen to breath. If i had known this was going to happen i wouldn't have gone but the wife insisted i go. As she said know one knows when we go. I hate I wasn't with her when it happen.Quote:

I was smiling about your ride until I read about your mother in law.
I knew what you meant and fully understood. I know you meant no harm so all's good.Quote:
