You can pick up some bikes atOrlando H-D or Daytona H-D and then head North up I-95 through Georgia, South and North Carolina, to Virginia and then you could cut accross I-64 through West Virginia to Kentucky and then head south on I-75 through the Smokey Mountains (Tennessee) back through Atlanta, Georgia and keep going South through Florida to the Keys and then back North to where it all began. You do have a choice or two when you get to West Virginia, you could head North into Columbus, Ohio and then onto Indianapolis, India and then back down I-75 to the Keys. There are so many great routes that you could take and with so much to see, you won't get enough in 14 days. Not sure when you are planning your trip, but you should check out all the state HOG Rallys that are taking place. That might change you mind on the route you want to take. If you do go the Keys, make sure you stop and eat at the Conch Republic, you will be glad you did. I hope your trip turns out great.

There is a great book out titled "Hogs on Route 66". It takes you thru each state and discusses lots of the historical things along the way and gives great suggestions for places the eat, spend the night, and visit. I'm using it to plan a trip from Chicago to LA.

I have been to your land and welcome you to mine. I have found no bad roads in this country and the Keys are a great ride.
