It was great getting to meet everyone. The starting place was at the oldest diner in Palatka, FL (next to the Subway). Since I'm the Texas boy, others will have to report as to just where actually we went. I do know it was the Ocala Forest. Thanks to "roadglide" and "pickax" for getting this started, choosing our routes and not getting us lost. OK, I was the only one lost :blink: until Hoog got us back to Lake Mary.

Taking one last break before lunch at Cross Creek.

Notice the silver fjr didn't park with the faster blue ones. :p

Looks like you had a good time. Thanks for the report Dan. So... Glen, which one of those blue bikes do I get to ride if I come to visit?

 
luvtoride,

I will be certain to give you the one that can keep up with the wing on Florida roads.

Remember its the reverse in Florida. We winterize our bikes by riding them through 11 turns in 318 miles.

Only in NC, TN, CAL, do wings have to worry about keeping up with FJR's.

Please keep up your skills for when we ride again.

Pleasant regards

 
It was nice meeting everyone. I enjoyed the ride and wish I could have stayed with the group longer, but family comes first. Thanks to Pickax for showing us through that part of Florida. We'll have to do it again soon and I'll show you some actual curves here in north Florida. Thanks again all.

Wade
