I need to get my portable XM installed and get a GPS.
What was 64 like?

64 wasn't too bad, at least there were a few curves and not much traffic.

I got the bike washed and waxed yesterday. Lots of bugs on the fairing. Was nice to have them on the fairing & windshield instead of me. lol

HAHA! Yeah after just moving here, I am still trying to get used to all these damn bugs. Those love bugs have to be the worst.

And thanks, I may have to check out 64 soon. I haven't ventured that way yet.

Hit up 64 - 17 - ft meade for lunch (John's Drive-in) today and was definitely a good time and some tasty food. Definitely a lot of bugs out that way though, but thank God there is a Bikini bike wash tomorrow at the Harley in Brandon tomorrow. HAHA!

We went over to Harley Brandon this afternoon. Got a gift card when we bought the bike, so my wife got a new helmet.

I think we're heading up to Floral City tomorrow. Looks like another 200 miles day. Weather looks a little cooler finally!!

Nice! Just googled Floral City and looks nice up there, especially on Orange Ave. You definitely have to report back and let us know how it is.

And yeah, so glad the summer is over and it is finally perfect riding weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be even cooler than today. Enjoy the ride!

We ended up in Crystal River. Ran into some friends at the HD dealership. Had some lunch and then rode a little on 480. Nice ride, but the wind was pretty bad at times. Coming home on the Suncoast Pkwy was really windy. it never got hove 62 or so all day until we got back in Pinellas. Rode around 210 miles today.

We're going back up there and ride over towards Floral City in the near future.

I know a great route through the woods to Floral City. Give me a hollar and I will show it to you when you are ready to make it.

slapshot12 - Yeah, the weather definitely didn't cooperate yesterday. They even canceled the bikini bike wash.... DAMN them! So I had to wash it myself. HAHA!

Just Dave - I'd be interested in doing this ride too, so keep me in the loop when you guys set something up.

lol sigtau, I don't think they would have had many bikini's yesterday. We were cold OFF the bike at times.

Thanks Dave, I'll see when I can get up there again.
