Well guy's , here is a brief and late coming report on the Florida trip.
Bike week had awesome weather and we got lots of riding in. Our trip was two part. We wanted to attend bike week as well as drive to the Keys.
We based out of Kissimmee. Spent two days in Daytona. Lots of bike...TONS of choppers, but to be honest I thought this would have been busier. It was my first time there, so I have no other years to compare to know if it was normally busier. I assumed Beach street would be jammed up the middle, but cars were able to go up and down it with bikes lining the street edges.
We have an event in a small local town (not city) Port Dover Ont. Can. that gathers 100000 bikes every Friday the 13th.....rain/shine or snow. The streets are jammed...shoulder to shoulder. Obviously the summer ones are better attended. This year there is one in April and July. If you ever get a chance to take a ride to Port Dover, I think you will be impressed for the size of the small port town.

The drive to the Keys was long...which is ok, but wasn't that exciting. Scenery was a bit repetitious with nothing really outstanding.
Once you get there however, it is really nice. We ate at the Hogs Breath Salloon, which is a must for bikers. There is lots to see and do there, but time was at a premium for us, so back to Homestead we went where we had stayed the night before and then back to Kissimmee.
In summary, we put on 2600km in 5 days and very much enjoyed Florida.
