Entering my favorite time of year to ride in Florida!  The mega-heat and humidity have broken you don't have to feel like your under a broiler.  Got into Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest and the hurricane thankfully was a near miss.  Lots a people riding and tons to see!

Fall riding is the best, even a few miles north!  I took Monday off and headed out (after sleeping in  ).  It was one of those days that rarely happens when everything is perfect (great temps, hardly any traffic, bike running seemingly better than usual).  This is the greatest time of year!

Weather is looking great for this weekend in Daytona!  Sunny and 82.  Can't beat that!

Really looking like weather ahead for Thunder Beach in Panama City too.  Looking forward to riding 98 along the beach and seeing the vendors at the rally.  Always some good ones at H-D of Panama City Beach.

Made the ride from Panama City to Naples for the Holiday, around the big bend and avoiding the freeway the whole way.  Most was beautiful, but the traffic and lights on 41 got old.  Never missed I-75 though!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving.  Try Hwy. 17 to Hwy. 98 on the way back.  Except for Lakeland area should be less traffic, good roads.

[RedWings11]

Thanks.  It was a very nice ride!

So, I'll be off to Orlando from Panama City for Christmas to spend it with my boy, his girlfriend and my 5yr old Granddaughter.  Gonna be loaded down with gifts, may drive.  Where's everyone going for Christmas/The Holidays?

CAUTION!    Lee County Sheriffs are not Bike friendly! -   Every year we have gone to Ft Myers Beach with our Bike to see my Wife's Parents.   This year,  while sitting un-moving in beach traffic, a Lee County Sheriff cited me for No Insurance (BS I have insurance but in FL your Card must indicate the dollar amounts of Injury Coverage you carry and my card did not list this)   Displaying lights reserved for Law Enforcement (I had blue LEDs that are hidden under my Fuel Tank and shine down on the chrome) and No Eye Protection (We were stopped in Traffic and my goggles were fogging up so I flipped them up on my head while we were motionless - Sheriff said they must be over eyes at all times, moving or not)    I believe we were targeted because of the Ohio License Plates.   Treated us like Drunk and Crazy Springbreakers and not like a 50 year old, sober guy on a $30,000.00 Harley (it was my previous bike     I do not plan to go back there spending any money and stimulating their economy!    Myrtle Beach here we come....

The citing for no insurance is a little odd,,, Florida does not require any insurance on a motorcycle. He must have had a hard on for the blue LEDs?? As far as targeting your Ohio plates, usually they will give tourists a break when they will not give a break to the in state plates...

The blue LEDs do get the attention of a lot of officers here.  Ft. Meyers area can be very heavy on traffic.

Quit going to Myrtle Beach years ago when the city made it clear that bikers were not welcome there.

Myrtle is growing well. Most events are north or south of city proper but even there is biker friendly.  Really always was.  Just a bad mayor and council. They lost so much tourism they have to advertise now. Learned a lesson on power of groups on that stupid move which was found unconstitutional anyways

[Chains]

Had to be the blue lights and no eye protection. As Iski said Florida has no requirement for insurance on motorcycles. May have been having a bad day certainly not what I have seen or encountered here.

Recently heard another rider says he got pulled over for blue leds.  First I'd heard of it at the time.  Seems like they've come up with another way to make $ via tickets.
