I am getting excited I was just sitting here wondering how many of the guys on here are planning on going and from how far away.
I am about 70 % on going and am in south carolina
I'm headed there the same way I did last year, Ohio to Key West then back up to Daytona. I'm not much into bike week as such, but riding to Daytona has been my riding season kick off for many years.
As with all rallies I attend, I have to trailer as I can not get over 1,000#(?) of tools and products on my bike or in my saddlebags. I will be leaving from Davie FL on the Thursday the third (a little early for the time) and traveling to Daytona & leaving on Sunday 13th (usually between 10~11am). If you are in need of assistance please place my phone # in your pocket (old school) or phone and call me as I will answer. I will have tools and slight knowledge on HD's to either get you going, tow your bike to a repair shop, or Daytona. I offer this every year as I know what it is like being on the side of the road breathing no-see-ums with the day sucking. For you negative thinkers, no I do not charge.
I will also be staying at the Scoot Motel run by a biker who is/was a (Viet Nam Tanker) Marine, a real down home biker, and has no problem helping others in letting me work on your bike (if necessary) along with plenty of free opinions & support from slightly inebriated guests offering cocktails to the downtrodden traveler. The point is biking is done for the adventure no matter what life throws at you. You must make the best of it as your time on earth is speeding by.
