Any tips on a hotel at this point? Even if its one of the upper keys?
I will probably end up riding down and back the same day anyway
You can buy a wristband from Peterson's HD to park on Duvall Street....it's like $5. They block off all other vehicles from parking on Duvall.
Hotel.....good luck! They jack up the price at ALL hotels for ANY event and still sell out quick. I usually stay at Doubletree by Hilton but its over $200 a night.
Been wanting to do this for a few years but something always comes up.....
This year it's because I'll be riding around the Wild West. Will be heading out on the 13th. Yeah, I'll take Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Oklahoma over the Keys.
Nice trip!! I've been wanting to do that for the past few years....so touché. Please do a good road trip report with lots of pics!

If you aren't opposed to tenting, you may find a place still open at the rev park.
The bed and breakfasts are a good last minute deal, but they will likely want more than a one night stay.if you are feeling perky, you can ride down early, see Duval and head back after 11:00. You really won't be able to drink, but can still see the party.
My idea of camping out is a La Quinta. A tent in the Keys this time of year? Not for me, just sayin' - I did that as a kid. Never again.
We found a place near-ish Duval with 2-bedroom suites for less than the cost of 2 1-bedroom fleabag motels. Try the hotel shopping services like Expedia.
Good tip on making sure the ladies are ladies. Not that I will be inspecting that closely; the wife would not be amused.
