Another cool place to ride to and see is NASA's Kennedy Space Center near Titusville, not too far from Daytona.  Added bonus, one time at the Rocket Garden, not far from the Space Shuttle, (I think I had just looked at the Astronaut Memorial) I looked down into the water and there about 8ft down were maybe 6-8 gators.

Thanks alot guys. I have rode 41 from Bradenton down to siesta key on my softail. That was brutal. So much stop and go. I would melt if i had to do that on my cvo. Sounds like a good plan. Love me some 2 lane roads.  I assume once on 41 east its either run to Miami or turn around and backtrack? Unless i have a pontoon bike. Lol.

Heatwave, looking at google maps I see what youre saying. Best to avoid 41 until i get south enough. Everglades City looks promising.

Thanks again.

Everglades City / Chokoloskee Island nice places to visit, get a bite or wet a hook...

There's a Casino at the Eastern end of 41 at Krome Ave, / 997

Great place to stop and eat just east of everglade city on 41 called Joanie's blue crab cafe, only open on saturdays and sundays......... best gator in town...... only building in town. It's across the highway from the smallest post office in USA. I always get the chicken wings

I think a ride in Florida would be a welcome relief from the snow and rain here in the PACNW.  The last few times I was down there this time of year, the weather seemed awesome and the opportunities to ride seemed far more enjoyable.

Counting the days. Pulling out of PA March 3rd. Got my head pipe on, baffles out, tuner in. Need to change oil, give her a bath and im ready.

OK, with Daytona Bike Week less than a month away, who's going?

[wtfdskin]

We will be stopping on Friday the 10th on our way back home to PA if i can find a place to park the rig for a bit.
I know thats the first day, is there any activity earlier in the week?

[RedWings11]

Well I'm looking forward to not only seing some of my favorite vendors at the Speedway, but riding the coast.  It was kind of a mess at Biketoberfest, due to the skimming by of the hurricane.  Could've been much worse though.

[RedWings11]

Also looking forward to what is in my opinion, the best pizza at Stavros on Beach St.  The crust is amazing!  anyone else been there?

[RedWings11]

Pulled into Daytona today, it's revving up.  Speedway is pack with vendors setting up.

Seemed like Bike Week had a very good turnout for the 76th.  Boy Indian/Polaris sure was at the Speedway bigtime!

My wife & I did a Iron Butt Ride in Florida yesterday. 1015 miles in 19.5 hours.
Got to Loves gas station by the Daytona HD @ 6 am. & was told a bad storm was in Daytona & south. Changed our ride plan & headed back to Jacksonville & then west. It was a great day to ride as it was cool & all the idiots, stayed off the road!

Congrats - good times!  Did a Florida one a few years ago.  Tallahassee to Jax to Lauderdale to Naples back up to Lake City then home.  Think it was 1,010 miles in about 19 hours. Stopped to get gas, go, & once for a 10 minute lunch.  Not as lucky as you with traffic.  The idiots were everywhere on 95 & 75.  Alligator Alley was great - we ran that leg fast.

Original plan was to ride was to ride down to Cocoa Beach, then back to Jax & west on I 10 to Exit 5 west of Pensacola & back to Jax.  Changing the ride plan because of the storm we had to make up the miles we lost & ride I 75 for 60 miles down & back. I 75 at night is by far faster than I 95. Wouldn't care to ride that road for along distance!
