Let's take Mark up on his offer. Mark, if you want to put a signup sheet together, we can find a watering hole where we can meet up.

My first time down, so if anyone has suggestions for a meeting place, chime in.

the journey there was more fun than actually being there... to me anyway.

i now live 3 hours away from daytona and you couldn't pay me to ride over there.

I now only hit small or oddball rallies and gatherings
Huge rallies are not my cup of tea.

i know that new street rod is going to be over there though. I want to ride it but, it isnt worth the drama.
I'm no stranger to drunkenness or stupidity. I just find that the older I get, the more I dislike crowds. Love the Daytona/Ormond/Flagler area and take our bikes there for vacation every year. But I make sure to go after bike week & spring break are gone.
Maybe spending 2 days on a Sportster to get there ruined your mood.

Too funny! Damn near every Street Glide sold is black. Dealers should have a drive up window where you can order a SG Package, including black paint and Rinehart slip-ons. Ask for 4" pipes if you want it super-sized.

My bike was probably one of those you saw on a trailer, I don't like it but 4 or 5 inches of snow is predicted at home this weekend.
I will ride as much as possible but I'm out at snow.
