Default Florida keys

I am looking to take a road trip to the Florida Keys. Where would be the best place to rent a bike for the trip. I am flying from NY and would like to hit a couple of the keys over a 5 day trip. Any suggestions, places to stay, where to rent, great beaches etc.

Thanks

Steven

Try the HD dealer in FT Myers florida. Nice ride across us-41 to and can ride back several ways. You can fly into Ft Myres international airport from most large ports. Just to be different you could take a highspeed ferry from ft myers or naples to Key West ,enjoy a couple days in key west, ferry back and then rent and ride some other parts of florida just as nice for several days..

You can hit all the keys in 5 days.....we stayed in Marathon and rode to Key West 2 days in a row....as for places do a search for Key West in this Road Trip section or the Southeast section of the Regional Ride section below...
