Ride to the Keys....
« on: February 04, 2008, 08:17:35 PM »

2 weeks ago ran down to the Keys from Jacksonville. Great ride...1150 miles in 4 days. Lots of different weather...but mostly nice. A big cold front pushed all the way down to the Keys. It was in the low 70's, and really windy. In Jacksonville it was in the 30's & 40's so were in the right place.

Took a route through central Florida getting there, then just blasted up the Florida turnpike and I-95 coming home. Minimum drama...my buddy with a Fatboy blew a tire out in Key Largo coming home and a Yamaha dealer (who just happens to rent Harley's) came and picked him up. New Harley stamped Dunlop and 2 hours later we were outta there...Placed is called Riva or Rivo can't remember now. But if you're down there and you're hurtin' they'll help out..great folks.

Anyway, here's a shot at the base of the 7 mile bridge...

Hi Ron.  So good to see your words again.  Have thought about you guys many times since that last time we shared road at MV.  Thanks for sharing the pics and so good to you again.

Any chance you'll make it to MV again this year?

I did that ride last April. Dropped off the truck & trailer at Ocala HD & from there took the Gulf Coast & then cut over to the Keys. It was a blast. Thanks for sharing those pics.

With all of these posts about wanting to do this trip, it sounds like a great idea for a pick-up ride or rides and a 2009 Key West GTG.  :bananarock: :bananarock: :bananarock:

C'mon Jorge, let's get the party started.  :bananarock:

Hmmmm...a 2009 destination for the CVO'ers..?? That could be a great party.

Hey Don, yup...Wendy is determined we all hook up this year..especially since we failed to show in '07 for MV. Looking forward to seeing all the hoodlums...guys and gals.. :)
