Default Key West trip

Spent the weekend in Key West for my niece's wedding. The weather was great...about 90* and not a rain cloud in sight. First time in Key West so it was a learning experience (wow!!). Not comfortable with a lot of the night life, but you can't beat the ride and the views down there. Thought I would share the pix with you guys. Ride safe.

Looks like a good time. I could use some 90 degree weather about now! Thanks for the snaps.

Gotta love Key West as I'm never tired of paying so many visits down there since I was a 5 y.o. kid.

Just so darn bee-you-tee-ful,

I grew up in KW, great place to visit, but would not like to raise my kids there.

What did you not like about the night life? Im thinkin about riding down there solo next summer while the wife oversees a remodel. I figure the stress level will go way down for all concerned with me gone.

been riding there since the 80's and the old bridges. Lot of changes over the years, mostly not for the best, but a great ride. Watch going down in March, spring break fills up the hotels.

Be Safe JIM

The key west ride is a nice slow ride with plenty of places to stop along the way.
The search feature on this forum will provide plenty of information.
The original poster probably meant the alternative lifestyle (rainbow) that is sometimes very open near certain bars.
But there are also ladies with painted bodies and a full spectrum of different individuals.
I have found overall that Key west is a lot of fun.
Did a BI-plane ride in Key west last time..to be clear..a BI-plane is a two wing air plane.
