I really wish I could have made it to this ride. It sounds like everyone had a great time. We had to leave one of my dogs at the vets hospital for 3 days, and I was worried that it was going to cost a fortune (which it did), and my wife has been extremely upset about him being so sick suddenly, so that's pretty much the biggest reason I didn't go. I didn't want to leave her by herself. We picked him up late saturday morning, and he's still not doing very good, and my wife is still pretty upset.

Anyway, next time someone comes down from another state, and y'all plan a ride like this for a Florida greet, I'm going to try my hardest to make it. I'm always up for a ride on sundays if anyone wants to do that.

Glad everyone made it back alright!!

Guess kevlar strands have to stay fairly straight to not break, and if left straight, are strong as h-ll. Hard to get your mind around.

Default Good Times!



That was a blast. I was so tired when I got home, I just collapsed in the A/C and a fan. 400miles. I'm paralyzed from the waist down, so had to order one them power chairs to get around today.

BTW, it ends up Rooty is a little badass! Considering it's performance during the breakout on 27South, I am now referring to this bike as "Rooty the Snortster ... Balboa"! Azz-Kicker!

Great leads from Bob, Mike, Jeremy, and Sick Puppy. Thanks, guys. Great to see the folks again from multiple FLA Crew chapters. Love ridin' with ya. Awesome roads, Jeremy.

Unlike Jeremy/Sleepman's case, Jenny Craig Worked For Me! My double-chair didn't break! (I think yours had some help, though Jeremy. Heehee.) Sofadog was able to capture the moment.

Hot day! Thanks for stoppin' at the TIki Bar, SP. 27 would have been longer without that break.

Loved meeting some Crews who were names, but not faces until yesterday. It's good to be FLA Crew.

I never got online until today, you guys always make me laugh and cheer me up when I do. Great turnout and even better roads that we would have never known about if it werent for Not so Slim-Fast Jeremy Very cool bro. The food was surprisingly good for such a remote location, definitely do it again IN THE WINTER!

Sorry about dusting ya TJD, I just couldnt be picked on for not keeping up - I did burn through half my tank though! I'm glad I saw you before I made my exit, I was concerned but Good 'ol Jim is a real Pal like that huh to go back for ya. We gotta name him Pick 'em up Jim. Speaking of Jim, he ran a red light earlier in the day and stayed put at a green light on the way back in clewiston! Rofl, I loved it!

96Custom there is a sunday ride coming up in the S. Broward/Miami area, maybe Dr.Clev and you can see what some of the guys look like

Oh yeah, 2Beers, thanks for sparing my embarrasment but it's okay I'm used to it here
I found out my max speed is 105 by the way, might be 110 but it really wasnt climbing much more.

I'm keeping an eye on that thread for next sunday. I'm just playing the waiting game right now as far as seeing if I can actually make that one. I'm going to read through the thread and check it out right now, in fact!
