Default Made it safely

Just wanted to drop a line to say I finally made it to Florida from Germany, and should have my bikes tomorrow; '09 Ultra (mine) and '11 Sporty (wife's). If anyone is in the Eglin AFB/Crestview area, I am game for riding as soon as I get the bikes.

Any MC/RG in this area?

Welcome to Florida. Some nice riding north and west of you. My brother lived in Cresview when he was in the Air Force and went back later as a civilian employee. We have a couple of guys in that area that post up from time to time. Keep your eye out for them.

Well got 1 of 2 bikes yesterday... I was told the Sporty crate was MIA. I was not a happy camper at that point, but later learned the crate was on it's way. Hopefully here by household goods date.

I took Blue out for a ride yesterday, laid down about 40 miles just in the local area, and I think I found some nice riding in the forest area which appears to be just across the street (Hwy 85). A lot of straight roads here which is much different than Germany, but with a road name like "Lost Boy" I can almost guarantee a good ride from time to time LOL. There are 2 things I can find for sure, home & gas, and the rest is just an adventure!
