We are in! I agree with Tony. Stay off 70! it's not a fun road on a motorcycle. Long, straight and two lanes in lots of places. There are passing zones that just create chaos. If you are coming from the east you could do a nice ride on US98, then a couple scenic roads that take you just east...

I would love to ride an 1800 my VT1300 runs good. Pulls good through a long range of RPMS, but I wouldn't describe it as fast or a stump puller.

I am the original poster so I'll give and update. An anti-climatic update, but an update. Co-worker traded the M109 so no race. He has been through about 4 bikes in the last year. Of course in his opinion all would out run mine. In reality one of them would have it was a Hayabusa. Hyperpete-...

When I saw the title to this thread it made me think of the saying. "You don't need them, till you do." I wore a military style boot for years cause they provided some protection and they were very comfortable to walk around in. Now I wear the Gaerne G-Adventure boots. Looks like over kill...

"Anywhere between 10-30mph with no hands on the bars is down right scary. Is that really a "characteristic" of the PR4?" I had a PR4GT and now have a PR4 on the front. I never felt that with either of them.

A straight road with some curves in it might be more accurate.

You have to come to the next ride to eat to find out.

Days like Saturday are why you ride motorcycles. Great riding and great friends. My wife and I took the scenic route up to Sebring. It was a really nice and cool day. A bit breezy but still a 10 out of 10 for riding weather. We got to the restaurant and met old friends and new. Always fun to...

I think the real life lesson here is being missed. Stay out of Walmart parking lots.

Reservations made! In the outside area. First one there just grab the table it's under "FJR Group".

My personal experience when this happened to me was I didn't get the visor on correctly. With my old RF1200 shoei you knew right away if the visor was not on right. It would almost fall off. It certainly would have flown off at speed. My neo-tec got hard to open and close, just the visor, not...

Since I started this thread my wife informed me I am now responsible for restaurant reservations and things like that. She rides with a group that plans every little detail for weeks in advance. I told her this is an FJR group. We improvise. Anyway, it does seem to have taken off. Looks like...

This is shaping up nice. There is a nice little route off Highway 66. That's just south of the restaurant. Couple little side roads. The loop takes about an hour. We should ride it either before or after lunch. Best curvy roads I have found south of Orlando. Also anyone coming from the South...

Awesome Vic! Yes, same place.

"Yee Haw Junction come to mind as well." The old Hotel, restaurant bar seems to open and close. We haven't been in awhile. Last time we were there the owner had leased it out. The night before the lessee had cleaned the place out. Took all the drink and food. The owner had cooked up a big...

Weather permitting? There are no hurricanes in April! Yea, we can always do a rain date if it ends up being a wash out. I would think by then we will be back to the spotty storms instead of cold fronts that dump rain all day across the state.

Since I started this thing I am going to throw out a date,time and place. We shall see if it flys. Just post up if you are in and I will edit the first post and make a list. Even if we have a small crowd it will be fun. Hopefully we get a good gathering. RTE - Sebring FL Date - Saturday...

"Did they give the other rider a ticket?" Yes.

Welcome Hurc. I do at least one day ride every weekend. I am only about an hour from you. In fact I went through Ft. Lauderdale just yesterday - riding A1A. We should ride sometimes. DATE HOW ABOUT APRIL 9 OR 10

Diamondback 226 and 226a are certainly worth doing. We stayed at The Switzerland Inn and really enjoyed it. Very nice sitting area with a fire pit. Has an awesome view. Nice pool if the weather is warm. We mostly ate on the road. However we did do the seafood buffet. It was actually good. All...
