As with all rallies I attend, I have to trailer as I can not get over 1,000#(?) of tools and products on my bike or in my saddlebags. I will be leaving from Davie FL on the Thursday the third (a little early for the time) and traveling to Daytona & leaving on Sunday 13th (usually between 10~11am). If you are in need of assistance please place my phone # in your pocket (old school) or phone and call me as I will answer. I will have tools and slight knowledge on HD's to either get you going, tow your bike to a repair shop, or Daytona. I offer this every year as I know what it is like being on the side of the road breathing no-see-ums with the day sucking. For you negative thinkers, no I do not charge.
I will also be staying at the Scoot Motel run by a biker who is/was a (Viet Nam Tanker) Marine, a real down home biker, and has no problem helping others in letting me work on your bike (if necessary) along with plenty of free opinions & support from slightly inebriated guests offering cocktails to the downtrodden traveler. The point is biking is done for the adventure no matter what life throws at you. You must make the best of it as your time on earth is speeding by.
I won't be attending this rally but wanted to say to you Howard and the vet that's awesome on both of your parts. That's going way above the call of duty.
I've been getting out of New York cold for years. This is the start of my riding season. This years trip Vero Beach, Keys, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and Daytona. Will be going over the bike this week.
I am getting excited I was just sitting here wondering how many of the guys on here are planning on going and from how far away.
I am about 70 % on going and am in south carolina
Don't let any knuckleheads scare with 'eww...awful traffic and beer prices go up....". It is going to be the 75th anniversary of daytona Bike Week, make it if you can.
Oh...if you like to ride while here, may I suggest a nice ride up A1A to St. Augustine? Might take 50 minutes or so, take in some U.S. History. Or a ride down U.S. 1
to Kennedy Space Center.....might take about 50 minutes of so....take route 40 to Ocala/Silver Springs. Yup, about 50 minutes. Or if you are adventurist....ride from
Daytonas BEACH all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Some start early, because it does take a few hours. If you like to ride....you can find a destination in Florida.
Go ahead and try to climb Mount Dora!
I mailed you a check. Hopefully you can ship my shocks before you leave. Either way. Be safe.
