I used to live just outside Orlando when I was a kid and I went EVERY year! I attribute all that exposure to why I love Harleys today.

Last year I trailered for the 1,500+ mile trip. This year I am riding!

See you there!

I had plans to go last year but I was dead set on riding down from PA not hauling my bike in a trailer!!! Well Mother Nature provides me Snow, ice, 8 degree temps put the kabosh on my aspirations real quick.... If it thaws out up here next couple weeks I’ll definitely consider planning another trip

Rode down from Atlanta the last two years. Cousin moved from Ponce Inlet to Port Orange so still have a place to stay. Cold is an understatement for last year. I froze my *** off riding home to GA. Had on jeans, chaps, rain pants, quilted jacket, jean jacket, rain coat, fullface helmet. Just couldn't shake the cold.

Probably going this year again but the bike might be in the back of my Dodge Ram. It isn't like the ride down is anything spectacular.

The time of year for DBW makes it a trailer trip for guys up north.

Going for my first time this year. Riding across and meeting old shipmates at a buddy's place to stay for the week. Should be a blast!
