Get to the Bank bar and see the Razorbacks play one night. I love em. Check out Rossmeyer's Harley Destination. Huge.

Dirty Harrys, Cabage Patch, Iron Horse, Bank and Blues, and Daytona 500 race track, just to name a few. Ride out to Flagler Beach along the Atlantic ocean. While there, stop in and have a 3/4 lb berger at Turtles.

You should probably ride "The Loop" while you are here. Of course, it'll be absolutely packed, but that's OK.

Just watch the speed limit!

Skip the shoulder to shoulder skuffle. the long lines, the redundant scenes day after day....and head for the pan handle. Hit the shoreline and roll the entire perimeter of Fla. Will be oh so more satisfying!

Book your hotel now. Good ones fill up very early and are booked way in advance.
