Default Key West 2016

Just recently returned from Key West trip. I rode 750 miles the first day, a lot of that was in the rain. Stopped in Jacksonville, Fl. hooked up with a friend and we made the rest of the trip down. Got rained on a lot but still had a good time. Stayed on the naval base in Key West. saved a lot of money that way. Here are a few pics...The gal in the pics was a local down there. She showed us around. Our own personel tour guide....

congrats on your ride, I wished I had a contact to stay on base, but that is for those that have paid their dues. ��

Yes it's tuff to get on that base. I served four years in the navy and still can't get in to camp. I believe it's active duty and retires only.

The guy I went with is retired out of the Navy. He got us in. The only problem was you have to wear helmet, long sleeves and gloves to ride onto the base.
