Knock on wood I have been lucky. Probably put about 125k miles on various bikes since I started riding a few years ago. One flat tire and it went flat in the garage. Must have punctured it right before I got home.

Yea, that's a great area. There is one spot that goes over a creek. There use to be an old wood bridge going over that creek. I always stopped there for a few minutes. Just a very peaceful nice place. Now there is a concrete bridge......... They call it progress. Florida has some good back...

John I am going to try to swing by and say hello on the 17th while you are at the booth. However, the gainful employment stops midweek rides this time of year. I am out.

Excellent RR as usual. Those snow mobiles sure look fun.

Cool Tony. I have always enjoyed riding with my son when I get the chance. Can you swap bikes during a SS1000?

Belle Glade. Crystal River most weekends.

I have done day rides down to Alabama Jack just for the conch fritters!

I have to quit this work thing. It's getting in the way of all the good rides. You sure have to watch those fees. I stayed at a place once down there. A few weeks later I get a "resort fee" on my credit card. I call and ask the place what this is for. Well they explain it's for use of the pool...

Other options. You could stay at my place for free. Key West would be a 450 mile round trip. Doable in a long day.......maybe. One road in and one road out in places. You could stay in Homestead for <200 a night and do a round trip day ride of 250 miles to Key West.

John If you just want to see the see and ride the Keys staying in the middle Keys is an option. Might be able to find a more affordable place then Key West it's self. If you are not a big night life person there might be better options in places like Marathon and Islamorada. Of course I...

John What is your work schedule at bike week? You man some type of booth right? I might take a day ride over one Sat or Sunday.

Yea, it probably deserved a better chance.The Vaquero wasn't really that bad. It was just really heavy I thought. Of course it's a 1700 and my Honda is a 1300. There were other things I didn't like about the Vaquero. I just wasn't looking for a bike with a big cowling in front like that. Kind of...

Also - I don't think you will like US1 from Daytona all the way down. It's not really that scenic and lots of stop and go traffic. As an option I would pick the sections of A1A you would like to ride. Some of them are very nice. Then take I95 or another route to make up some time if you need...

John Your route takes you within a block of my house and within a few miles of my weekend cabin. Maybe we can ride at some point. Bad thing is I am still doing the 9-5 still and March is basically no days off month. I would only be available on weekends. I know you are extensively traveled so...

I have a 2010 Honda Interstate. It's the VT1300 that replaced the VTX1300 that was around for so long. The interstate is the "touring" model. Basically it has a windshield, hard bags and floor boards. It didn't even have a luggage rack on the back. And with the small gas tank you better start...

No specific order. 1. Ride around the Lake. Be sure an take CR720 on the SW shore of the lake. It actually has about 5 curves. 2. SW Martin Highway (714). Part of it is under the canopy of trees. It takes you from Okeechobee towards the coast. 3. Most of the sections of A1A. Those are nice...

North Carolina again like every year. Because our son lives up there and also, well it NC. Kind of a big deal when you live in Florida. We are also think of a trip out west. Probably the Black Hills area, but not during the big rally. I am also wanting to hit the road and do a couple big mile...

Thanks Tony. That looks interesting.

For the 3 or 4 of us left in the world with no facebook account, could you give a little more info on this ride?

I use that on the front fender of my 2013. It's a type of matte finish. Works great.
